Brazilian modders have converted many European coaches for OMSI 2. Forums like OMSI Brasil or Fórum Ônibus Brasileiro often feature "Volvo 8700 Exclusive" with custom repaints for Brazilian road operators. Use Google Translate and look for links protected by password (usually omsibrasil).

The 8700 chassis is famous for being a workhorse. In OMSI 2, exclusive versions allow you to switch between:

The Volvo 8700 is a canvas. Look for repaint packs on PaintNET or Flickr groups. Common liveries include:

Install repaints by dropping .dds or .tga files into Vehicles\Volvo_8700\Texture\Repaints.

Solution: The Volvo 8700 often requires manual brake pressure to shift. Press the foot brake fully (.] key by default) and then press N for neutral, D for drive, or R for reverse.

This is a sensitive topic. Many exclusive Volvo 8700 downloads are converted models from games like Bus Simulator 18 or Fernbus. Sharing such conversions without permission is piracy. However, scratch-built models are the creator’s intellectual property.

Our advice: If you find an exclusive download on a private tracker that is clearly payware (e.g., a $20 mod being given away for free), do not support that site. Instead, buy the original to ensure updates and bug fixes. The OMSI community survives on fair support.

If the mod is freeware but labeled exclusive to a specific Discord server, respect that. The creator wants to limit distribution to control support questions and prevent broken versions flooding Google.

Before diving into the download specifics, let us examine why the Volvo 8700 has achieved near-mythical status in the OMSI community.

Unlike many freeware buses that recycle generic engine sounds, the high-quality Volvo 8700 mods (specifically those labeled "exclusive") feature authentic Volvo D-series engines. You will hear the distinct turbo whistle, the low-rev torque curve, and the characteristic gearbox logic of a real intercity coach.

The Volvo 8700 is a legend on real-world highways. Known for its smooth suspension, efficient drivetrain, and unmistakable Scandinavian design, it bridges the gap between a city bus and a long-distance luxury coach. In OMSI 2, an exclusive version of this bus elevates that reputation.

Unlike standard mods, an exclusive release typically offers features that dedicated modding groups keep behind closed doors or share only with a committed community. Think custom sound recordings from actual Volvo D9B engines, ultra-high-resolution dashboards with working LCD displays, and realistic passenger AI that reacts to smooth driving.
