1994 Volvo B10M, 4x2 configuration, turbocharged horizontal diesel, ZF automatic transmission, 49 seats, roof-mounted air conditioning, GVM 16,500kg.



Description

The Volvo B10M is one of the most proven and dependable bus chassis to run Australian roads. Built on a 6,000mm wheelbase 4x2 platform, the B10M uses a turbocharged 10.6-litre horizontal six-cylinder diesel producing around 280hp, paired with a ZF automatic transmission. These buses are well-regarded by operators and conversion enthusiasts alike for their bulletproof mechanicals and solid structure. This particular unit is a 1994 model with an Australian-bodied 49-seat configuration and factory roof-mounted air conditioning.



The bus presents in a white and blue two-tone livery consistent with former public transit service. Exterior panels are generally straight with no major dents or collision damage visible. The front face, bumpers, and lower panels show cosmetic wear and surface scuffing consistent with decades of service use. The large two-piece windscreen is intact. Side windows are all present and tinted. The roof-mounted air conditioning condenser unit is fitted and in situ. The passenger cabin features 49 seats in a 2+2 layout upholstered in blue moquette fabric, with yellow grab stanchions throughout. The aisle floor is dark rubber and shows service wear. The driver area is complete with the full Volvo instrument cluster, ZF gear selector, and original switch panel. Odometer reads 709,061km as photographed. Vendor advises the bus is equipped with air conditioning.



At current bidding this represents entry-level pricing for a complete 49-seat bus on a Volvo B10M chassis. These units have a strong following among event operators, conversion builders, community groups, and rural operators. Comparable B10M units in similar configuration have been listed in the $5,000 to $9,000 range via private sale. The low current bid makes this a compelling opening position for bidders doing the maths on their project.
