New Volvo B11RLE Chassis for Double-deck Coach
Volvo Buses Malaysia has launched the Volvo B11R Low Entry (B11RLE) chassis on Volvo Buses’ Customer Day at the Volvo Group Malaysia headquarters in Shah Alam. Designed for a premium double-deck coach, the new model is available for delivery from 2022.
Truck & Bus News recently caught up with Country Manager Karen Tan, who graciously offered her time to answer our questions associated with the launch, the market outlook and challenges currently faced, as well as the company’s overall direction. Also in attendance were Volvo’s two clients that had already made their bookings to tell us why they decided to invest in the Volvo B11RLE.
“We see a big potential for double-deck buses to be used as coaches, especially for express buses. In our market currently, there are not too many product offerings. So, there is still room to grow. For routes that require high-capacity transport (both long- and short-haul), for example, from Kuala Lumpur to the East Coast, to Penang, or to Johor Bahru, the rationale behind the product launch, the double-decker bus, is to offer a more cost-effective solution for bus operators. We believe this could be a solution to address the shortage of bus drivers in the industry by having a high-capacity bus that can carry more passengers in a trip,” she explained.

沃尔沃巴士陈淑慧: 沃尔沃 B11RLE 底盘使大容量运输变得高效、安全且具成本效益
马来西亚沃尔沃巴士公司在沃尔沃巴士客户日当天，在位于沙亚南的沃尔沃集团马来西亚总部推出了沃尔沃B11R低入口(B11RLE)底盘。这款专为高级双层巴士车设计的新车型将于2022年开始交付。
《卡客车新闻》近期采访了区域经理陈淑慧，她慷慨地拨出时间来回答我们有关该发布会、市场前景和当前面临的挑战以及公司整体方向等相关的问题。在场的还有两位预定了沃尔沃B11RLE的客户， 他们向我们分享投资该产品的原因。
她解释说：“我们看到双层巴士作为长途巴士的巨大潜力，尤其是长途巴士。目前，在我们的市场上没有太多的产品供应，所以还有成长的空间。对于需要高容量运输（长途和短途）的路线，例如，从吉隆坡到东海岸、到槟城或到新山，推出双层巴士的原因是为了为巴士运营商提供更具成本效益的解决方案。我们相信拥有一辆在一次的行程中可以运载更多乘客的大容量巴士，可能是解决巴士司机短缺问题的方案…..。”
