  Volvo B7RLE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Volvo B7RLE is a low-floor single deck city bus launched initially in Australia in 2001, and then in the United Kingdom in 2003 as an addition to the B7L single decker which was unsuccessful in these two countries.
In essence the B7RLE is the front of the B7L chassis mated with the rear of B7R coach.
As from 2006 the B7RLE in the UK will also be available with East Lancs Esteem bodywork and towards the end of the year, the Plaxton Centro bodywork.

The bus features a transverse engine and a shorter rear overhang, as British hostiles seemed hesitant to purchase the B7L double decker with a long rear overhang (although some have since entered service in Glasgow, Scotland as 12m long double deckers).
The B7RLE is a model used largely in Australia but more recently in the UK.
In essence the B7RLE is the front of the B7L chassis mated with the rear of B7R coach (see below).

Volvo B7RLE bus was launched initially in Australia in 2001, and then in the United Kingdom in 2003 as an addition to the unsuccessful B7L single decker, it is more like its predecessor the B10BLE.
Unlike the B7L the B7RLE's D7C engine is mounted at the middle of the rear overhang as opposed to the left, the result is a full rear row of 5 seats and a full width window (rather than 3 rear seats and part of the rear window as on the B7L).
Initially the B7RLE is only available in the UK with Wright Eclipse Urban bodywork, but since 2004 it is also used as a low floor single-deck coach, with a longer front overhang and the Wright Eclipse Commuter body.
