According to stock specs, the major differences between B9TL and B10TL is:
1. it uses a Euro-3 9-litre engine D9C. this engine will have a maximum output of 300bhp, though there is an uprated version for the B9TL producing 345hp. in the future, a Euro-4 engine MD9 will replace D9C as the standard engine.
2. the radiator of the B9TL is installed beside the engine, similar to the tridents. the radiator is right below the air vent at the right-back of the bus. -
True, the VSO radiator is at the mid-section. How about its engine? I saw something that appeared to be the handle of the engine compartment at the rear. B10Ms do not have this feature at all.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Nopes.

having a radiator at the mid-section doesn't mean the engine is at the mid-section.Originally posted by iveco:True, the VSO radiator is at the mid-section. How about its engine?

both B9TL and B10TL have rear-mounted transverse engines. hence, the handle at the hind of VSO does lead to the engine. if the engine is not at the back, how can it be low-floor. and no, though the radiator of the VSO is below the staircase, the engine can't fit there. the engines and radiator are linked by shafts. i dun think any bus chassi manufacturer has come up with such a side-mounted engine yet.
the B10M has a mid-mounted engine, hence the 'M'. it's radiator and the engine are next to each other. B9TL's radiator will be like tat (at the back), jus tat it's facing the right. -
Quote from unknown source:
"The chassis of Super Olympian was based on Volvo Olympian. The front radiator was moved to the back of the first axle for 12m version, or in front of the second axle for 10.6m version (it was due to shorter wheelbase). Due to the change of chassis design, the steering function of the second axle was no longer used. However, the suspension is soft, making passengers comfortable. The overall design is ideal for long-distance routes, such as 68X, 968.
A 11.3m version of Super Olympian was also available, but none were built.
Initially, the B10TL chassis were built in Volvo's factory in Irvine, Scotland. After the closure of the factory in mid-2000, production was moved to Wroclaw, Poland.
The engine was Volvo D10A285. The power of D10A285 was only 285hp, compared to 305hp of Cummins M11-305E used on Neoplan Centroliner and Dennis Trident 3, and 335hp of Cummins ISMe Euro III used on Dennis Trident 3/Enviro 500." -
I think I saw it on Wikipedia before. Adding on, the 4th batch of Centroliners delivered to KMB used MAN engines. Wonder if it was the same one as the 24.310.Originally posted by ^tamago^:The engine was Volvo D10A285.

i believe it's 9.8 litres for D9C.Originally posted by SBS9828X:erm... saw on Volvo.com that its a 9.4 unlike B10Tl whose 9.6
and yes, all VO2x's, VO3x's, B10M's and VSO all have 9.6-litre engines. -
