Volvo Machines DLC
Re: Volvo Machines DLC
I have seen a good bit of Volvo equipment, too. Like someone else said, especially the articulated dump truck. Can't wait to haul this cargo later.

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
Volvo is gaining ground in the market but they are very far away from "owning" any segment of it....their biggest seller isn't even branded as theirs, it is the Champion line of graders which have been a rebranded Volvo for about the last 20 years or so.
The biggest area they are gaining is are the municipal and civil markets, you will see a lot more out there in the sewer and water segment than even a few years ago.
Disappointed a grader wasn't included, the other models (other than the wheeled excavator) already exist in vanilla variants in the game but bought it nonetheless.
And agree with @flight50 that there should have been a dealership included

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
There's a big Volvo dealership just off I-90 here in Billings that sells and services Volvo trucks, Mack trucks and Volvo heavy equipment. Would be make sense to me if we can pickup/deliver to Volvo dealerships and it would be a good workaround to having a dedicated Volvo CE prefab.
Also, I see Volvo equipment as much as any other brand in WY, MT, ID and the Dakotas; probably about even with CAT since there's a big CAT dealership network in the area too. It's probably a regional thing though like I never saw Western Stars when I lived in West Texas but now I see them daily.

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
I see Volvo dealers all over the place in the Midwest, but I rarely even see their heavy equipment in the dealerships. I imagine they will still service that equipment, but they don't seem to be selling them.
I've seen Volvo dealers out west as well, but never recall seeing such equipment. Maybe I just didn't notice it?

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
To be fair knowing the service contracts that Volvo sells compared to other brand, it make sense for municipal to actually like them.Robinicus wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021 17:44 Volvo is gaining ground in the market but they are very far away from "owning" any segment of it....their biggest seller isn't even branded as theirs, it is the Champion line of graders which have been a rebranded Volvo for about the last 20 years or so.

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
A grader would be great. But I think its due to manpower. I think they will add 1-2 more to it. I'd love to see the grader and the asphalt layer be 2 added. ATS should have a ton more construction prefabs made for it. There is always road works going on in the largest US cities.
My post are only thoughts and ideas. Don't assume it makes ATS.

Re: Volvo Machines DLC
Those deals are tendered....all comes down to price, I have partnered on many of them over the years and we swap GP around where needed....on the equipment side, these deals are considered "bought" business to get exposure, you will usually see the newest models introduced pop up with muni sales before any contractorsrookie_one wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021 17:50 To be fair knowing the service contracts that Volvo sells compared to other brand, it make sense for municipal to actually like them.
If you have heard the term "Roadside PINS" that is what they are talking about....you see these pieces much more than the typical piece of gear as they are always working around a town/city vs a remote construction site etc
