Volvo B10L

The Volvo B10L is a low-floor single-deck city bus chassis. It was available in the United Kingdom and Ireland between 1994 and 1999, with a choice of two types of bodywork, the Alexander (Belfast) Ultra and the Wright Liberator. The Alexander Ultra body was based on the Swedish design produced by Säffle, who built the body on the first B10L imported to Britain. The Wright bodywork proved slightly more popular.

An articulated version, the B10LA, was also produced, and in the UK was bodied exclusively by Wrights for First subsidiaries in Manchester, Yorkshire and Glasgow.

The B10L enjoyed limited success in Britain. In 1997 the Volvo B10BLE was introduced to the British market, and this chassis rapidly became more popular. The B10BLE was cheaper than the B10L, and shared more in common with the step-entrance B10B, examples of which were already owned by many of its customers.
