If it has the same internal name for both games, is something that are tied and will work for both games.

If it is related to accessories, well, the list goes short. Alcoa Wheels or Hella lights maybe. Two brands are on those two markets. The other one can be another tire company.
If it is related to skins, well, that can be anything.

If it's a tuning company it'll have to be for both games or it could be tyres or paint jobs since a trailer from the same brand for both games is impossible though if it's a truck then it'll have to be Volvo but its probably impossible despite the fact that the daf xg is a dlc but that's the most unlikely

I'll just say that the fact it has the same internal name doesn't mean the DLC will have the same content for both games ;)

it's obviously Rigid trucks DLC for both games :D

Im thinking about a new cargo DLC, paint DLC or something related with a future WOT event.

Rigid Trucks DLC is absolutely unlikely.
In ATS, all flagship truck models present in the game are purely semi-truck chassis based. Rigids in these truck models are focused in Austraila and New Zealand.
For the case of ETS2, rigids are a big possibility, but not this time, and SCS will tell when the rigids come out for the use of purely cargo, or attached with BDF Trailers, and compatible with Krone and Schwarzmuller DLCs, and not the rigid trucks DLC itself. When SCS confirms the scheme, first, they might probably bring in mid-duty truck models, excluding the following:
- Scania L
- Volvo FL
- Mercedes-Benz Atego
- MAN TGL and TGM
- DAF LF

One more thing, VC DLC is still unknown what DLC is.
It might be a:
- Map DLC
- Cargo Pack
- Trailer DLC
- Tuning Pack
- Accessory Pack
- Tire Pack
- Paint Job.

Only SCS will know what it is.

While these trucks are certainly more common as semi tractors, it's not uncommon to see them as straight truck in real-life. It's more common that most people think, especially in states that allow longer combination trucks. It is very much possible for SCS to add rigids to ATS with the current truck lineup if they wanted to.

To be honest, I don't care at all about rigids the way people wants them (line haulers). They are more or less the same we are playing now with a different chassis. If they come I will welcome them of course; but if I would had to chose between rigid bodies for current trucks or new different trucks models; I've a clear winner.

But rigids with vocational bodies and related jobs... that would be way much appreciated as it will add way more variety to the game.

Of course, that would require way more work. So, the chances are that the day rigids come, they will be line haulers almost at the beginning.

I have to agree with Some newbie driver, rigids won't bring anything new gameplay-wise. The only difference to the current semi truck, is the fact that you are limited to certain loads due to the body type of the truck.
Anyways, as stated above, rigids won't be a separate DLC. So VC is something else.
I still think it's a generic troll name and indeed the DLC will have different stuff for each game. I highly doubt it's a truck though.

Could be a truck as well but ATS has the Volat DLC, I’d rather giver the truck status to it.

VC would be either some cargo pack or a paint job pack. Tire/Wheel rim DLC is also a possibility.
