Volvo B360S, a full low floor chassis. On those pictures, it is equipped with the Caio Millennium BRT bodywork (not the same bus)

It was often nicknamed as "motor de churrasqueira" ("grill engine") in Brazil due to the fact that it's engine stood upright inside the bus, occupying space on the bus internally.

Yooo the first pic is from my Gallery, thanks for choosing it, and don't forget to mention it's earlier version the Volvo B9SALF chassis that equipped the topbus PB which I was lucky to ride, and the mondego LA that operated in Campinas

I wonder where the drive axles are in this thing?
Afraid_Membership118@reddit (OP)
good question.
But I am not mistaken, Volvo tends to use a tractor drivetrain configuration for their articulated (and bi articulated) bus chassis (basically the second axle before the articulation is the one that has the drivetrain) so I guess it atleasts is less mechanically complex

Makes sense. I think putting the last drive axel in the back would cause some weird problems

Volvo make the rearmost axle the drive axle and limit the engine power in turns. Source, I have the unenviable job of working on B8 artics
