The 2014 Volvo VNL (also known as The Volvo VNL Classic) is a truck in American Truck Simulator manufactured by the Swedish truck manufacturer Volvo.

It was first shown in an SCS Software blog post about licensing issues already before the game released and was teased and confirmed when Oregon released. It was added to the game on November 5, 2018, along with the 1.32 update, but with the release of the new VNL in update 1.47, its name was changed in-game from the simple "VNL" to the more specific "VNL 2014", and with update 1.49, it is no longer available in the Volvo truck dealers, but instead, it's now only available in the Used Trucks market.

Trivia

• The Volvo VNL is the first (and currently only) truck in ATS to be made by a company based outside of the United States, as Volvo is a Swedish company.
• The German ATS retail edition features an image with a Volvo VNL on the lower left corner of its packaging.
• Along with the International 9900i Eagle, Peterbilt 389, and the Western Star 5700XE, the VNL 2014 is one of the few out-of-production trucks that was added to the game.
