there is a bundle to purchase both Volvo pack for ETS 2 and ATS 5.48$ (CAD)

Thanks to Volvo and SCS for this cooperation!

I love having licensed vehicles / items in my favorite game!

If not, I am still looking forward to getting that DLC for both ATS and ETS2. I could use more lowboy payloads.
Well the L350H is quite big :

Good stuff! And the machines all look pretty good from my standpoint. Five new construction vehicles, plus the bucket and the tires. I'm pretty happy with that.
Check out my Michigan research map!
Check out my ATS IRL map! -> Leave any feedback in my thread!
Kansas added! Up-to-date blog photo locations for upcoming states also included.

Nice to see three different loads for just the loader itself. Hopefully, that opens up the possibility of greater diversity in flatbed cargoes.

Ohhhh yeah. I'm content with this dlc. I'll be buying it for both games for sure. Looks great and I'm super pumped to see the much larger wheel loader. I definitely hope to see more of this size. I want the much larger excavator and hopefully someday, ATS can get a drill press.

Is it just me or is this game becoming nothing but a large-scale commercial?
To me, this DLC is counteractive to the immersion, as these machines are almost non-existant in the US. I have never seen this kind of equipment from Volvo before. I have obviously seen their VNLs (one of the most common trucks in the US), but have only seen 3 Volvo cars, and no such equipment. Maybe SCS should be looking after licensing with Deere and Caterpillar instead of trying to force this Eurocrap into ATS.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

Maybe these do exist in the US, probably in certain regions. However, Caterpillar would be an infinitely better, more immersive DLC.

then start driving where they operate, this same models are listed on the US site of Volvo CE as they are on the Euopean site, the "Eurocarp" is worldwide the same, there is no difference

Just because it is listed in their US site doesn't mean they are the "leading manufacturer...", or even that they sell very well. That is why I said "ALMOST non-existant".
Go find any contruction site, quarry, or lumber yard and you will almost certainly find Caterpillar and Deere equipment, but very few, if any, Volvo machines.

I have seen Volvo heavy equipment in the US. They may not be as common as Caterpillar or Komatsu, but they are not rare either, at least not in the Northeast.

That being said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Ingersoll Rand, Grove, Manitowoc, Kalmar, and other brands of heavy machinery in the game, but I will take what I can get.
