And about the digital instrument cluster, I’m eagerly waiting to see the first of that in the game. There are three in ETS2 and one (maybe 2) in ATS. Let’s see!

Paccar seriously on the Cascadia bandwagon, lol. Both their lines mimic the Cascadia's filter intake.

So Nikola has a new truck, the Nikola Tre BEV. It looks like they've taken an Iveco S-Way and slapped Nikola branding on it. At 0:15 in this Twitter video, you can even see that the seats in the cab still say Iveco. :lol:

I always thought it looked more like an actros but it looks more like the s way but the question is "Is it legal?"

Interesting video for Nikola. I can see electric cabovers making it for local service in the US. Beyond that is anyone's guess.

North America already uses cabovers for local applications, mostly on straight trucks and box trucks. If the manufacturers start electrifying them, I agree that it would work well in that application.

As for the Nikola truck, I don't see that working here at all. You can tell by looking at it that it isn't built to the standards of the North American trucking industry, and probably isn't even road legal in its current state. All they did was bring an Iveco S-Way to the US, stick it on a lowboy trailer, and drive around with it trying to impress people who don't know any better. I wasn't impressed by that one bit.

I hope they got rights from Fiat(Iveco) to use an S-way like that or that could be the 2nd foot in the grave for Nikola after the fallout from their original creation.
