Volvo B12
The Volvo B12, also known as the Volvo B12R, was a Rear-engine design, rear-engined heavy-duty coach chassis manufactured by Volvo in Sweden between 1991 and 2001, and in Brazil between 1997 and 2011. History The B12 was Volvo's first large coach chassis with a vertically mounted engine, which limited the available body models that would fit. It was first fitted with the 12.0-litre TD122/TD123, which in 1995 was replaced by the 12.1-litre D12A. Because of the engine height it was probably less popular than the lower Volvo B10B, B10B, but it was Volvo's only rear-engined coach chassis that was offered as a tri-axle. The only other option for a tri-axle coach was the mid-engined Volvo B10M, B10M, and not all customers wanted to have the engine "where the luggage was supposed to be". It was succeeded in 2001 by the Volvo B12B, B12B, which had the same engine but in a horizontally mounted version. Like with the Volvo B6, B6 (B6R) and the B6LE (B6RLE), the B12 was marketed as the ''Vol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cubic Centimetre
A cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter in US English) (SI unit symbol: cm3; non-SI abbreviations: cc and ccm) is a commonly used unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of one millilitre. The mass of one cubic centimetre of water at 3.98 °C (the temperature at which it attains its maximum density) is almost equal to one gram. In internal combustion engines, "cc" refers to the total volume of its engine displacement in cubic centimetres. The displacement can be calculated using the formula :d = \times b^2 \times s \times n where is engine displacement, is the bore of the cylinders, is length of the stroke and is the number of cylinders.
