Good afternoon, we are here again to continue the research and information about the cork sector in Portugal.
I hope that this information can be useful for building the Iberia DLC idea.
This image shows some location on a cork production farm that has the function of storing production waiting for trucks to transport to processing factories.
1
Here we can see a truck leaving with a load of cork from some company.
2
Some angles of trucks with cork load.
3

4
Some angles of trucks with cork load.
5
Here we can see a truck with a trailer loaded with cork unloading in Spain. I am going to make a speculation:
This trailer has some rolling bottom that can cause the load of bales of cork to be unloaded automatically in the unloading yard. It is personal speculation.
6
Here we can see a Spanish truck carrying cork. You can see what has a protective mesh at the top of the load.
So A the cargo is fixed by conveyor belts, something that until now in the images of trucks transporting cork in Portugal, I have not found in images.

below some images of patios in the cork processing industries with the areas for unloading and external storage of cork for industrial processing

We can now move on to a slightly more noble cork load: cut cork.
(The loads shown above are those that leave the cork extraction farms, for the factories. Raw cork loads between industrial units in an industry for processing into more noble products such as wine corks and stoppers for sparkling drinks).
Here is an example of cork carving and stored on pallets in a processing industry this product (can be transported to some specific processing unit for the production of wine and sparkling corks, in the case of large companies). In Portugal there are also specialized companies that work transforming the cork purchased in the extraction farms and processing classifying and storing to sell the stopper and stopper manufacturing industry for wine and sparkling drinks.
In this image it is possible to see a palletized load of cut and standardized cork, being loaded in a truck trailer (to be used in some processing factory for the manufacture of wine corks and sparkling seals).
The following images are of loads of noble cork (best classification in sorting), already processed in being cut. This is; cork undergoes the process of trimming leaving it standardized as if "boards" were.

The cut cork is transported in blocks of small bundles, which are tied by small plastic or metal straps (probably), in a reasonably uniform quantity. As you can see, the cargo in the trailer is fixed by steel cables to which everything allows to perceive. Is another way of transporting the product cork.
video shows in an accelerated camera the unloading process tu of a cart with bales of cork to be processed and transformed into wine or sparkling corks.

We arrived ... Then finally the load of corks. that will be used in wine and sparkling wine factories.
The truck below is from the processing company called "Lafitte".

My personal suggestion; for SCS Software is: "that this type of rigid chassis truck, pulling a trailer trailer (and transporting loads of corks for wine and sparkling wine factories)
to be included in the road traffic I.A of the game ETS2, DLC Iberia.
The objective would be to allow advertising by cork-making companies and cork processing in the DLC Iberia.
In addition to the curtains of the trailers which we would be using for transporting players, also of stoppers and seals.
So we could drive on the Portuguese and Spanish highways, and suddenly come across a truck of this type advertising some company licensed in this economic sector.
Here we can see an example of a trailer and truck carrying a load of wine corks and sparkling wine stoppers, to some beverage processing factory (wines and sparkling wines).
The truck is leaving a cork processing plant directly for the industrial customer.
Some important references that may be useful for SCS Software on the subject of cork in Portugal:
1 Reference: This blog is extremely complete about the information regarding cork being written in the Portuguese language of Portugal. Has a lot of interesting information for the SCS Software team on the map of Portugal and the game mechanism for the theme of cork is advice and exploration of this blog.

it is important to highlight here some topics that I will put in the title in Portuguese to facilitate localization:
1.1 empilhamento e comercialização de cortiça no montado, 1.2 transporte de cortiça , 1.3 empilhamento de cortiça no estaleiro.
Os processos industriais: 1.4 cozedura, 1.5 seleção da cortiça(It is very important because there are cork gauges and they are related to the quality of cork. And this has repercussions on the loading of cork in natural bales to be taken from the commercial companies to the factories of corks and sparkling seals), 1.6 enfardamento da cortiça, 1.7 escolha das rolhas, 1.8 rolhas capsuladas, 1.9 a rolha de champanhe ((Currently in the world of Portuguese-speaking countries, the expression champagne is being replaced by sparkling wines, due to the international product regional identification label, where "champagne" is one of the types of sparkling wines and specific to France. And other places in the world produce drinks with the same characteristic, but not with the same peculiarities of "terroir", and therefore; the most appropriate term to be called sparkling wine; "stoppers for sparkling wine"), 1.10 granulados de cortiça, 1.11 aglomerado negro.
2 Reference: the company "Correia Cork" is
located industrial unit in Azaruja, Évora, transforms cork and sells cork in bales already prepared for the wine stopper and sparkling wine stopper industry. the research tip in this reference is to explore the different types of burden, and the different types of products cork, with quality from level 1 to level 5, also the image gallery and the transformation of cork in its various phases is interesting, to take a look there are photos there it has translation into spanish german and french this site.

http://www.correiacork.com/galeria.html There are many pictures of truck and loads of cork.

3 Reference: the search tip Browse this website of the Portuguese company that produce specific packaging for the wine and sparkling wine stopper industry so here is my search tip on this link:
https://www.dssmith.com/tecnicarton/kno ... wine-corks
the sparkling wine stopper industry basically uses two types of packaging the most common packaging is raffia or plastic bags however it also uses large corrugated cardboard boxes capable of holding 75,000 to 90,000 units of corks and having a front opening.

Just for information title (which can be useful for licensing purposes, and everything else, in the packaging area). The company has 7 industrial units in the Iberian Peninsula, as the map shows, it has its headquarters in Spain, located in the center of development and research in the city of Almussafes.
The other locations are industrial production units. Reference:
