To reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (nox), Volvo uses SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust aftertreatment. SCR enables the engine to be tuned to improve fuel efficiency further. Customers who have chosen Volvo Buses with SCR have seen fuel consumption improve by as much as 17 percent compared to earlier generation buses without SCR.

The Volvo EBS is available with different functions. for tourist coach versions of the B7R, ESp (Electronic Stability program) is an option. ESp significantly reduces the risk of the vehicle rolling over or leaving the road in a turn, under normal conditions or when roads are slippery.
