[h2]Spur Almaty’s mining industry back to action! ⛏️[/h2]

Authorities in southeast Kazakhstan need expert manpower for a bold new mining venture and are ready to invest and set up cutting-edge infrastructure. That’s where you come in. Help the region’s quarries kickstart their operations by bringing essential equipment and rebuilding their conveyor belts and haulage systems. Once production is up and running, restore the region’s cargo airport and conduct geological surveys to complete the job. Almaty needs a saviour. Be their silver lining!



To help you in this endeavour, Season 13 comes with two powerhouse vehicles to help you navigate Almaty’s rugged terrain, from the depth of its mineral deposits to the top of its mountain ranges.

• First is the PLAD 450, an 8x8 juggernaut equipped to handle even the toughest challenges that is sure to become a staple of any heavy duty fleet!
  
• It comes in addition to the AAC-58DW, a versatile scouting SUV with exceptional geometry and weight distribution allowing it to take on mountainous terrain like never before.

[h3]The Atom DLC is right around the corner![/h3]
You’ve been waiting for it, and it’s nearly time! The brand new heavy-class truck will be coming to you on April 2 on all platforms!
Yes, you’ve heard me right: the massive Azov 67096 “Atom” will be yours in just one week!



Little reminder: This heavy-class truck comes with two unique add-ons fitted exclusively for its unique long frame: a huge 3-slot flatbed platform and a unique maintenance module that comes with a repair module and an extra fuel tank. In addition, the Atom is built to let you take on any terrain as its stock version is equipped with always-on differential lock and all-wheel drive from the get-go. Though it will not beat any speed or torque records, its versatility is where it will truly shine.



Please note that this DLC will be available as a standalone DLC and is not included in any Year Pass.
