Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread

Unfortunately that's actually illegal, they call it "cabotage". So once an American comes into Canada as a trucker, he can deliver his load from the US, and pick up a load going back to the US, but he isn't allowed to haul Canadian freight from a Canadian pick-up to a Canadian drop-off. S...

Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread

No, I understood your reply. It's just that I was reading it as "we don't need big engines in the US, why is Europe making silly big engines?" when the answer is "you don't *have* big engines in the US because it's way too expensive to get them certified for the volume of projected s...

Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread

Well actually that's not entirely true as they created their own brand afterwards using International Prostar cabs & chassis while still using their Accert engine. I'm not sure if they were in NA but since Australia's emissions laws are far more lenient then Europe & NA they continued in th...

Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread

And of course Caterpillar explicitly stated back in 2008 that tightening EPA regulations and low sales volumes were why they would be getting out of the truck engine market by 2010, which they did. Well actually that's not entirely true as they created their own brand afterwards using International...

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread

I mean... you could just tell me what you want to see Now that you say it with the recent Germany blog 27 Ton payload containers on 20 and 40 footers on a single at least would be nice in ETS 2 :D And having 20 footers placed like this on standard skels would be great too. https://imgur.com/eCD0nTz...

Re: Kenworth Trucks Discussion Thread

I must be one of the rare ones that doesn't like the in game W900. The way too long WB flat out deters me from even considering driving it. I really hope they don't do the same thing with the 389 if it does get reworked. Not every one wants stupid long chassis on classics. The Pinnacle on the other ...

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread

Awhile back there where people on here talking about a potential JCB cargo pack coming into the game. If that is the case I think it should be a ETS 2 pack. Even though i'm more into ATS then ETS 2 these days big thing I have notice in the last 3-4yrs is the shift in cargo variety between the two. E...

Re: Next In-Production ATS truck speculation

If Rigids do eventually come definitely won't be surprised if Scania were the first brand to bring them in. As as a the M2 why would it have to be a rigid. There is nothing stopping them being in prime mover form but just be more focused on regional work since that's what there role is intended to m...

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread

The S-Way is actually quite a nice truck tbh. One of the nicer looking models to come out of their stable. Hands down the POS award for modern truck design is the Anthem. Always be the Mattel Lego brick to me as Mack must of went to them for advice on designing that thing. The VNL though just anothe...

Re: Mack Trucks Discussion Thread

Yeah I could see it releasing between the 1.50 PR and Nebraska launch most likely but wouldn't be surprised if it did come earlier. Just one truck I'm not sure about is if the rest of the NG T680 comes in or after Nebraska though since I believe it too would be making it's appearance in the next 2-3...
