The Volvo B6 was a midibus chassis manufactured by Volvo between 1991 and 2000.[1] A low-floor variant, the Volvo B6LE, was introduced in 1994.[2]
The Volvo B6/B6LE chassis was built to compete with the Dennis Dart/Dart SLF chassis. It could be fitted with Volvo TD63E/TD63ES engine (later Volvo D6A engine). The Volvo B6 prototypes were built in Austria, but the production buses were built in the United Kingdom.[1]
The B6 was mainly built for the UK market, but some were exported to Hong Kong[3] and Australia.[4]
The Volvo B6/B6LE was replaced by Volvo B6BLE.
