Volvo 7300 BRT B340M 2010 — Mexico City Metrobús Bus Mod

Volvo 7300 BRT B340M 2010 — Mexico City Metrobús Original-Spec Articulated Bus Mod for Proton Bus Simulator

The Volvo 7300 BRT B340M 2010 is the original-spec Mexican articulated bus that became the backbone of Mexico City's Metrobús BRT corridor service. Built on the robust Volvo B340M mid-engine chassis with the standard 18-meter articulated configuration, this Proton Bus Simulator mod recreates the iconic pre-facelift design that defined Latin American BRT operations through the early 2010s — the contemporary counterpart to the later 2020 LED facelift variant.

Highlights and Features

• Drive the original-spec Volvo 7300 BRT articulated, the backbone of Mexico City Metrobús BRT corridor service through the early 2010s.
• Operate on the robust Volvo B340M mid-engine chassis tuned for high-capacity Latin American urban transit corridors.
• Experience the standard 18-meter articulated (Sanfonado) configuration that anchored Mexican mass-transit procurement through the platform's pre-facelift era.
• Drive the iconic Mexico City Metrobús operator livery and authentic design used across the Mexican BRT trunk-line network.

Compatibility and Technical Details

About the Volvo 7300 BRT and Mexico City Metrobús

The Volvo 7300 is Volvo Buses' urban-transit complete-bus platform introduced in 2002 and built across multiple international assembly plants for global municipal markets, with the BRT articulated variant becoming a dominant procurement choice for Latin American mass-transit corridors. The 2010-spec configuration represented in this mod is the original pre-facelift design that anchored Mexico City Metrobús — the BRT network of the Mexican capital, one of the largest BRT systems in Latin America — through the early 2010s, before the later 2020 facelift introduced LED headlights and the Multiplex Euro 5 dashboard. The Volvo B340M mid-engine chassis sits at the heavy-duty articulated tier of Volvo's bus platform family, with the horizontally mid-mounted engine layout delivering the weight distribution and traction required for sustained BRT trunk-line operation. The 2010 spec and 2020 facelift Volvo 7300 represent the same platform across two distinct procurement eras, with operators running both configurations side-by-side on Metrobús corridor service.
