Volvo FL614-L – a chassis range with the 5.48-litre six-cylinder engine of the FL6 family: 153 to 160.5 kW, 14-tonne gross weight, a lighter alternative to the FL618
The FL614-L shares its engine and basic construction with the FL618 but sits one class below, with a 14-tonne gross vehicle weight – the number appended to FL6 denotes the gross vehicle weight in tonnes in each case. The L suffix denotes a chassis variant of the range, built at Volvo's Gothenburg-Tuve plant.

The register lists 7 versions with 153 to 160.5 kW from 5,480 cm³ displacement and six cylinders, kerb weights of 6,550 to 8,200 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 14,000 kg, lengths of 6,800 to 11,300 mm and widths of 2,370 to 2,600 mm.
At 14 tonnes, the FL614-L positioned itself as a lighter alternative to the FL618 in medium-duty distribution transport, competing with the Mercedes-Benz LK/LN2 14t and MAN's 14.225; its narrower kerb-weight range compared with the FL618 points to a focus on box and flatbed bodies with medium payloads; hauliers running mixed fleets valued the shared cab and driveline with the FL618.
When buying used, check the condition of the 5.48-litre six-cylinder engine, rust on the frame and axles, and brakes and suspension relative to load history. Clutch and gearbox should be checked for wear on trucks with frequent stop-and-go distribution work; parts are supplied through the Volvo Trucks dealer workshop network, and for older model years also through independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.
