Volvo, world renowned for its buses has been present in India for the last six years and currently provides the same experience that change passengers derived from luxury AC bus inter-city segment in the country. It was just last year when the Volvo City bus concept through the B7RLE model was introduced in the cities of Bangalore and recently offered in Pune. Although the B7RLE is still new but it is already getting positive response from passengers and the city transport authorities.
