Switzerland Rework Discussion

[Some newbie driver]

It's just me or the first picture depicts a new company? (Charmey group)

The yard appears in the background and in the front of the image aa sign pointing in its direction is shown.

I don't remember that company from anywhere else but I've still not navigated all the recent reworked areas, so not completely sure.

That is the new chocolate factory company that's been mentioned. It was first seen in the Christmas stream.

The real world company I think it's possibly based on is Cadbury. Hopefully when Birmingham gets its remake we can get the Cadbury Bournville factory as a depot!

That would also be important if they are extending the A5 Autobahn south of Karlsruhe (which is not impossible, as implied by the hint of the A40 in France being included). That Autobahn would meet the existing Swiss A2 in Basel.

Indeed, that would be great. I did not think of that since I never crossed be the border from Germany. The A5 would be complete that way.

I´m interested if they do the Geneva airport too - located beside the motorway 1 to the right hand side - as for example in Frankfurt/Main they did it + refresh too, in ATS they are doing the airports too (Dallas, Houston) + the new DLC Tulsa in Oklahoma. On the other side they didnt do the airport in Vienna - the refinery beside it is added but the airport behind is missing - as they did the Austria rework. Same question in the other cities like Bern or Zürich.

That would be interesting. I'm not sure they can put it because they have shown many new areas in Geneva and didn't show the airport.

IRL this is an interesting place since the runways are built along the french border. There is a tunnel under the runway and when you're out the tunnel, country has changed :https://www.google.fr/maps/@46.2435254,6.1154403,14.42z

@Some newbie driver @Janaff I think Charmey Group is the cosmetics company, while GonDelez is the chocolate factory. But maybe I'm getting those confused.

Looking at it, you are correct that Charmey should be a cosmetics company. I notice that the Geneva blog said this however:

Due to this, the overall layout had to be expanded, and it will include an industrial zone, agricultural area, railway terminal, chocolate factory, and shopping mall.

I wonder if "chocolate factory" was a typo and they actually meant "cosmetics factory"; after all a chocolate factory was something they also pointed out in the Bern blog. There is a chocolate factory at the spot where the Charmey sign is pointing to in the screenshot (the actual cosmetics factory's entrance is slightly further up the road), but that could just be map compression.

Mondelez is the real name of the chocolate company which runs some different chocolate brands

I think GonDelez is just there for the signs and Charmey would be a deliverable chocolate factory. Not to mention the Charmey building in Bern is Mondelez IRL.

No cosmetic factory so far.

If you look the image, although background factory name isn't completely readable, the same capital C seems to be there and in the sign on the front of the image. So I was guessing both are the same; I doubt they had made two companies with so much similar brand image.
