The B9TL is available with a choice of three axle ratios and a choice of direct top, overdrive and double overdrive transmissions.
This should give adequate performance spread for city or express usage.
As has been stated, correct specification would avoid stress.
Edited to add:- similar options should be available on the e400, however a less-powerful engine might limit the performance - depends on passenger capacity of course.
