VOLVO FL

If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
Engines: 22-litre 6cyl, 237hp/920Nm,276hp/1,050Nm Transmissions: 7: 12spd automatic, ZF 9spd manual (optional) Chassis: 4x2,6x2 GVWs: 13.ot, aot, Rot, 25.0t Wheelbases: 3,525-5,475mm The Volvo organisation is normally pretty efficient at keeping its product line-up fresh, but its representative in the lightweight sector, the FL, definitely passed its sell-by date. The middle of 2006, though, saw Volvo not only bring the FL into the 21st Century, but add a new middleweight range, the FE (see below), at the same time.
Look beyond the traditional Volvo diagonal grille bar and you may notice a certain familiarity about the new models.
They mark the first major flow of technology back from fellow group member Renault. Put in a slightly over-simplified manner, the FL is a Volvo-badged version of the latest Renault Midlum from 12t to 18t GVW.
All the Midlum's features, including the dash-mounted gearshift and the Deutz-based engine range, are included. One Volvo first is the CitiPro, an offthe-shelf 12-tanner with a standard box body and tail-lift.
