Volvo Trucks has launched a 14-tonne version of its FL Electric medium-duty truck. The new model expands the FL Electric range, which already includes heavier 16- and 18-tonne variants. The 14-tonne option is intended for urban delivery and transport tasks where maneuverability and zero tailpipe emissions are priorities.
The 14-tonne FL Electric uses an electric driveline with a 180 kW motor paired with a usable battery capacity of 145 kWh. Volvo Trucks states an approximate driving range of up to around 200 km under specific conditions. Actual operational range depends on variables such as vehicle load, ambient temperature, and driving style.
The model’s battery system and powertrain come from Volvo’s existing electric truck architecture. The placement of batteries in the chassis is engineered to avoid interference with bodywork installations. This design supports flexibility for a range of body types, including cargo boxes and service vehicle configurations.
Multiple wheelbase lengths are offered for the 14-tonne FL Electric, with options stretching from 3.8 m to 6.5 m. The choice of wheelbase and axle configurations affects vehicle handling and suitability for different urban transport roles. Ground clearance for the model is approximately 240 mm.
Volvo Trucks positions the 14-tonne FL Electric for city transport operations where noise and local emissions are factors. Electric drivetrains produce lower sound levels than diesel engines, and they do not generate exhaust emissions at the tailpipe.
The 14-tonne variant will join Volvo’s existing electric lineup, which includes medium and heavy-duty models sold in markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. The company has offered electric commercial trucks since 2019, and the FL Electric family continues to form part of that portfolio.
Production of the new 14-tonne FL Electric is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026.
