The bus is equipped with Volvo's highly effective disc brakes with electronic control [EBS). Volvo EBS encompassesa range of safety- and comfort-enhancing functions such as Hill Start Aid, Emergency Braking Assistance and Brake Blending. Hill Start Aid helps the driver start smootlly on hills by maintaining brake power or delaying brake release after the driver takes his foot off the brake pedal until he pressesthe accelerator.Emergency Braking Assistance helps the driver maximise braking power in a panic braking situation. With Brake Blending all trhebraking systems (wheel brakes, engine brake and retarder) interact smoothly. The Volvo compact retarder is a very powerful auxiliary brake that takes care of much of the braking requirements. This means considerably lower wheel brake wear, at the same time as safety is boosted. The Volvo B9R is also available with the Volvo Engine Brake. All-round air suspension and ro11 stabilisersbotl front and rear contribute to a high level of comfort and good road feel.
