In August 2008, First Glasgow ordered a batch of 25 to add to its existing 3-axle Volvo B7L / East Lancs Nordics.

However Renown production was stopped when Volvo pulled the plug on the B10BLE, replaced by the Volvo B7L on the new Wright Eclipse ( now Wright Eclipse Metro ), which due to its vertical rear engine wasn't popular with many operators.

Volvo B7RLE is a low-floor single-deck citybus launched initially in Australia in 2001, and then in the United Kingdom in 2003 to supplement the B7L single-decker, which was unsuccessful in both countries.

The B7RLE appealed more to UK operators, with whom the B7L was unpopular and has sold well compared to its predecessor ( FirstGroup plc having been the only major buyer for the B7L thanks to a Volvo contract maintenance agreement ).

* Volvo B7TL, a double-decker bus with a transverse engine and a shorter rear overhang ( comparing with the B7L ).

Volvo B7L was a low floor citybus chassis with a rear engine mounted vertically on the left of the rear overhang, it was built as a replacement for the Volvo B10L.

The B7L was also available as a complete Volvo bus-the Volvo 5000 ( later renumbered 7500, with aluminium structure ) and Volvo 7000 ( later renumbered 7700, with stainless steel structure ).

Outside Continental Europe, the B7L was introduced in the United Kingdom in 2000, as a replacement for the Volvo B10BLE single-decker.

Volvo B7L and B7LA-based buses are used in Greece.

In Athens, Volvo B7LAs constructed by Saracakis have been used since 1999, when Volvo B7L and B7LAs constructed by ELBO were introduced by OASTH, the local bus operator.

The Volvo B7L was superseded by the Volvo B9L.

The latest additions to the bus fleet are the Volvo B9TL ( Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 ) double decker buses and the Mercedes Benz Citaro ( O530 ) buses.

Quoted from a press release by SBS Transit on 9 July 2012 stated that, SBS Transit will going to add 1, 000 more buses which consist of 550 Volvo B9TL ( Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 ) double decker buses and 450 Mercedes Benz Citaro ( O530 ) buses by 2015.

They are scheduled for delivery from as early as January 2013. Wheelchair-accessible buses – Mercedes Benz Citaro ( O530 ) buses and Volvo B9TL ( Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 ) double decker buses are used for Bus Service Enhancement Programme ( BSEP ) since 17 September 2012.

The rear design of its Wright body was different from that of the Wright-bodied Volvo Super Olympian ( AVW-class ), with the number plate moved beneath ( and a little to the right of ) the rear route box.

The first demonstrator, with Wright Eclipse Gemini body, was delivered to London General ( part of the Go-Ahead Group ) in July 2006 for evaluation, it is used on route 11 along with the current Wright-bodied Volvo B7TL.

Bus Éireann also put 10 Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B9TL into service in late 2008.

On 13 August 2009, SBS Transit announced a further order of 150 more Volvo B9TL chassis with Volvo D9B310 Euro V engines, ZF EcoLife 6-speed gearboxes and Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodywork as part of a fleet renewal programme costing S $ 87 million.

On 26 August 2011, the last few buses of the first 150 Volvo B9TLs bodied by Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 had completed their registration and registration for the next 300 buses started from 21 September 2011 onwards.

SBS Transit ordered another 550 Volvo B9TLs also with Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodywork on 9 July 2012 as part of an order of 1000 buses worth S $ 433 million.

This attracted orders from Ulsterbus who took 25 on Leyland Tiger chassis and Yorkshire Traction who took 10 on Scania K93 chassis and enabled Wright to develop its highly successful Endurance body which competed with Alexander's Strider and Northern Counties Paladin for orders on Volvo B10B and Scania N113CRB chassis.

Its Gemini double-decker was first built on the Volvo B7TL chassis in 2001, as the Wright Eclipse Gemini.
