Volvo Trucks introduces 14-ton Volvo FL Electric – tailor-made for urban distribution

The Volvo FL Electric will be available in a 14-ton entry-level version with a new battery configuration – a battery-electric medium-duty truck that is ideal for inner-city transport.

The Volvo FL was one of Volvo's first truck models with a fully electric powertrain and has since been embraced internationally by many transport companies. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for maneuvering through narrow city streets for door-to-door deliveries. The electric drive ensures minimal noise levels and zero exhaust emissions.

Volvo Trucks continues to expand its range of electric trucks. Following the recent announcement of an electric truck for long-haul transport, the Volvo FL Electric variant with a gross vehicle weight of 14 tons is a new entry-level option in terms of load capacity and installed battery capacity.

“This is a great workhorse for inner cities, with no exhaust fumes,” says Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks. “We help our customers find the best electric truck for their business. Our advice is to only buy as much battery capacity as is needed for the job, in order to maximize productivity in terms of load capacity and profitability.”

The new version of the Volvo FL Electric is available in different wheelbases, axle configurations, and battery configurations, allowing each customer to tailor the truck to their specific needs.

The batteries are designed and mounted in such a way that they do not interfere with bodywork installations on the chassis. In addition, the new Volvo FL Electric variant is more maneuverable thanks to a vehicle width of only 2.4 meters.

The new batteries will be available in several Volvo electric truck models – from the new 14-ton, 16-ton, and 18-ton FL Electric to the Volvo FE Electric versions with a GVW of up to 26 tons.

The electric versions of Volvo Trucks’ FL and FE models have been on the market since 2019 and are sold in several markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Volvo has eight battery-electric truck models in production, and more than 5,000 electric trucks have been sold worldwide.
