Default Under the Monster Volvo B7R Hood (Engine Compartment Pics)

Hi Guys,

Had a chance to peep into the hood of Volvo B7R Bus. What a monster engine it houses, a big radiator fan like a train, 2 cylinder AC compressor, turbocharger....

6-cylinder, 6.7 LITERS, 4-stroke OHC Turbocharged Intercooled DI diesel
Output 285 HP @ 2200 rpm
Torque 1200 Nm at 1120 rpm
6 forward speed, fully synchronized, electric retarded gears


Here are some pics -
















It has a good torque punch under hood. The idling speed is 500 rpm and max RPM is 2500 rpm. At around 2200 rpm, it cruises at 100 in the 6th gear effortlessly.
