Volvo FL610 – the 10-tonne class of the FL6 series: 5.5-litre six-cylinder with 152 to 180 hp, wheelbase variants from 3,700 to 4,600 mm, gross weight 9,800 kg
The Volvo FL610 belongs to the FL6 series and forms its 10-tonne version with the inline six-cylinder TD61 of 5.5 litres. The numbers after the slash in model designations such as FL610/4000 and FL610/4600 give the wheelbase in millimetres, and the double designation FL610/4600/3700 marks a chassis with two different axle spacings.

The register lists 6 versions with 112 to 132 kW from six-cylinder engines of 5,480 cc. Kerb weights range from 5,030 to 6,850 kg, the gross vehicle weight stands at 9,800 kg. Lengths run from 6,200 to 8,850 mm, widths from 2,250 to 2,500 mm.
In the 10-tonne class the FL610 competed with the Mercedes-Benz 814 and the MAN 10.163; as a chassis for box, refrigerated and drop-side bodies it was widespread in urban and regional distribution transport, and the FL6 series' short cab suited work in tight inner-city locations with frequent driver stops.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame and spring brackets, the condition of the clutch and five-speed gearbox, sealing of the turbocharger on the six-cylinder engine, and brakes and wheel bearings from frequent stop-and-go use; spare parts are readily available through Volvo's service network.
With a gross vehicle weight of 9,800 kg, the FL610 falls into EU class N2 (3.5 to 12 t); its commercial use requires a category C1 driving licence, a tachograph and compliance with driving and rest times. The FL6 range's short forward-control cab, without an engine hood, shortened the vehicle's overall length for a given wheelbase and improved visibility in dense city traffic compared with long-nosed designs.
