Volvo FL614 – the 14-tonne class of the FL6 platform: 6-litre six-cylinder from 132 to 162 kW, gross weight up to 14,000 kg, body lengths from 6,550 to 10,820 mm
Volvo FL614 belongs to the FL6 platform from Volvo Trucks (AB Volvo, Gothenburg), whose roughly 6-litre six-cylinder diesel gives the series its 6; the appended 14 marks the weight class, since gross vehicle weights in the register reach exactly 14,000 kg. The model suffixes 3400, 370, 4000, 4600, 5000, 5800 and the 40-34 variant denote individual wheelbase and body versions within this type, letting hauliers tailor the chassis to a given job.

The register lists 8 versions here with 132 to 162 kW from the 5,480 to 6,000 cm³ six-cylinder, kerb weights from 5,750 to 10,830 kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,990 to 14,000 kg, and body lengths from 6,550 to 10,820 mm with widths from 2,350 to 2,600 mm.
With its 14-tonne rating the FL614 sat at the top of Volvo's medium-duty range, working mainly as a distribution truck with box, tipper or flatbed bodies in municipal and haulage service, and often as the base for refrigerated boxes and hook-lift bodies. In this weight class it met comparable Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Scania models across Scandinavia and central Europe.
For a used example, check the chassis and brake system, clutch and manual gearbox condition, the tightness of hydraulic rams on tipper bodies, the state of leaf springs and air-suspension bellows, and parts availability through the Volvo Trucks network.
