Well, now most are waiting for new Volvo VNL, but the next truck to appear in the game may be the one that is least expected. For example Kenworth W990. Which will also be good, since any new truck in the game it's good.

I expect either the VNL or the 5700 to be next, but any other truck on the vote list could come and I would be very happy.
I own 1 of every model in the game, and more trucks will allow me to fill more garages and drive around with plates from a greater variety of states.

With the VC dlc being the Volvo construction cargo dlc it could be possible that we may get the current vnl gen though it's more likely that just the cargo dlc is coming
Take it with a grain of salt nothing is 100% sure

Well, the main issue with the VNL showing up alongside the Volvo Construction DLC is that they're representing two different subsidiaries. While they are owned by the same parent company, AB Volvo, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Construction Equipment may be treated as two different companies when it comes to getting the rights to use their equipment. Of course, I don't know the legal situation and how this would be approached, so I might be talking out of my rear.

Hey I was thinking and what if when pavel said that there were outstanding accounts with the players he meant the tunning dlcs???? remember that it has been a long time since you are on ets2 and not ats

I don’t think so. The focus of the conversation was trucks and later shifted to dealing with companies.

Trucks make the most sense too. If not for the latest truck launches we would have got totally different trucks. They have to release them at some point. So trucks might be added at a very consistent rate. We’ve been getting truck updates every 2-3 months and this trend would continue at least for another year I believe.

Also about the VNL … the VC DLC is under testing anyway so I don’t see a chance along with it. But among the next three trucks there might be a good possibility. I’d still say Western Star 5700XE or maybe even the Pinnacle has a better chance.

What if they throw us a complete curveball and we get the VNX instead of the VNL, as that's the model that's being marketed by Volvo for hauling heavy machinery? :) I for sure would not mind...

I agree with harishw8r. Tuning pack is not what Pavel was hinting when the topic was trucks. His wording would have been different.

The VNX is possible in my opinion. That idea was tossed around a month ago though so its not a new thought. Chances are a 2 truck pack too. The VNL and VNX are pretty much the same body/ chassis by the looks of things.

Well, also they can do a big Volvo event. This year is the 25th anniversary of the VNL, so that means we can get a special livery and flood social media with posts about it.

From a marketing perspective, it's free trending and content generation. In a very competitive digital marketing world, it's a win. And cheap.
