Next ETS2 truck speculation

[ASDF]

The next truck is a Foton Auman EST! Why? Because Daimler owns Foton trucks and SCS seems to have a good relation with Daimler.

Foton Auman EST is a truck produced and sold in China by a joint venture between China Foton Motor Corporation and Daimler Corporation. At present, the interior and instrumentation of this truck are still the layout of the old Atros

@Some newbie driver ,Yes that's correct, Daimler owns 50% of the company, It was just a joke tho! about the truck coming next!

Foton it's a Chinese company (more strictly, a joint venture with a foreign company). If so, it means Daimler can't own Foton; the Chinese partner will always have at least 50% +1 votes on the board of that joint venture. That's how China government force business to be done in their country.

Yes, Foton Auman EST is a truck produced and sold in China by a joint venture between China Foton Motor Company and Daimler Company. At present, the interior and instrumentation of this truck are still the layout of the old Atros. I am Chinese. I am familiar with this truck.

Mercedes-Benz New Atros 2019, MAN New TGX2020, Iveco S-WAY these three trucks, I look forward to driving in Euro Truck Simulator 2 before 2024

I wish to see an 8th brand in the game next year. We have Ford, Kamaz and BMC. Kamaz would be a nice addition as HoR is also in the horizon.

Don't worry. I was just pointing out that before somebody else that could not catch it start to speculate too big.

@parasaurolophus67 It´s not similar, it´s same because daimler own cascadia and i think also mack, and of course, also mercedes, so it seems that licensing process with Daimler it´Good. Of course it´s not 100%, but it´s hint at all from my POV.
Edit: about mack I am probably wrong, but i don’t remember other brand which is owned by daimler and is already in ATS in nearly past.

Yeah, but on the other hand, they are hinting a lot that SCS should have the new MAN released, so I guess it's just a matter of time. Guess the new TGX may be the next truck after all. Fingers crossed. I would love to finally see a MAN truck that doesn't look boring. Don't get me wrong, I like the TGX, but the Euro 5 and 6 ones look rather... meh... (at least without a ton of tuning)

Shouldn't be a licensing issue i guess. MAN throws out licenses to pretty much every simulator game which has trucks, busses etc.

You get a license! And you get a license!

@Polarlicht haha so true, I suspect one day they gonna license their trucks to some irrelevant "simulator" game for example Hamburger Simulator lol
and that photo in twitter belongs to a former vtc I used to be in.
