The useable battery energy 145 kWh, while the electric motor delivers about 180 kW. Ground clearance is 240 mm for the 14-tonne truck. Production to start in the second half of 2026.
One of Volvo’s first models to be offered with an all-electric driveline, the Volvo FL medium-duty truck is now available also in a variant with a 14-tonne gross combination weight. The latter is indeed a new entry offer in terms of payload and installed battery capacity.
As pointed out by Volvo Trucks, the new version of Volvo FL Electric comes in several wheelbases, axle configurations, and battery configurations “so that each customer can tailor their truck to specific needs”. In fact, the shape and installation of the batteries ensure that they do not interfere with any bodybuilding installations on the frame. Further, the new Volvo FL Electric variant is also more agile thanks to the possibility of a vehicle width of down to 2.4 meters.
