"We want even more people to discover the capabilities of Volvo FL. The new combination with lighter driveline and high load capacity is particularly suitable for those who have high demands on productivity and are looking for a cost effective transport solution," says Pernilla Sustovic, segment manager for distribution at Volvo Trucks.
Volvo's four-cylinder, five-litre Euro 6 engine is available as 240hp / 900Nm and 210hp / 800Nm. Both engines will be offered to a wider group of Volvo FL customers, including 14 and 16 tonnes. As the engine and gearbox together weigh 200 kg less than the six-cylinder Euro-6 option, the opportunity for corresponding extra payload is created.
"The five-litre motor may be a suitable option for those who would not normally use the maximum gross combination weight but at the same time value the flexibility of being able to drive with heavier loads if required," says Pernilla Sustovic.
