Haha, maybe. I hear they sell wind turbines as well. 😅

In all seriousness, though, this is a definite positive: will be buying.

I saw a wide variety of construction equipment product ranges based on the Volvo CE website. Possible cargo masses of these equipments are not accurate, except for an excavator that weighs 22-24t of cargo in a lowbed/low loader.

On the other hand, asphalt compactors might belong to High Power Cargo Pack, since Volvo compactors belong to their own cargo pack. Standard asphalt compactors are not appeared in the game since the release of the High Power Cargo Pack.

I'm pretty hyped for this. I'm not the biggest fan of heavy loads, but it's always nice to see more variety of cargo options.

It's a shame Volvo CE ceased to manufacture graders and passed them to the Chinise subsidiary so many time ago. Grader is one piece of very nice construction machinery that i would had liked to be able to haul.

I was looking forward to finding graders, but from what you say, it will not be possible, however I am sure that the content will be very varied and faithful to reality.

Since 2014 they ceased to produce backhoe loaders and motor graders. They were selling not so many because they were premium models and we were in the middle of a global crisis with a focus on construction. So they ditched those markets and let a Chinese subsidiary to keep the construction of more affordable models to maintain a spot in those markets.

If the DLC would had be unbranded construction machinery; the odds to have graders would had been high (it's a model that it's interesting to place in construction sites all over the map, to improve realism, not just as a cargo). But as it ended being a branded DLC; I've no hopes Volvo has licensed something they doesn't produce since 7 years ago. The variety we can expect is that what actually shows the Volvo CE webpage; and even it could happen then that ATS receives one less cargo (Volvo doesn't manufacture tarmac pavers for US market). Or that both games didn't have that cargo to avoid create grudges between games (silly move if it happens IMHO, but so many people don't want to think in reasons before to complain in the net about anything...).
