American Truck Simulator News

Over the past weekend, we put out a teaser video hinting at a new and upcoming truck that will arrive for American Truck Simulator. Many of our avid fans have immediately identified the make and model of the truck. The hype is real; with the awesome support from Daimler Trucks North America, you will soon get to drive the most popular truck on US' roads!

[h3]Introducing the Freightliner Cascadia® for American Truck Simulator[/h3]



To quote Freightliner's sales literature, "The Cascadia® is the most advanced on-highway truck Freightliner has ever offered. With more than one million hours of R&D and millions of miles of real-world testing, the Cascadia® is the result of sustained, concentrated investment in the future of trucking. Advanced aerodynamics help it slice through the air and boost fuel efficiency. Freightliner reimagined the Cascadia® interior, starting with the dashboard, which features an all-new instrument cluster and automotive-style steering wheel controls and switch placement, to meet driver needs. The Cascadia® is offered with the Integrated Detroit™ Powertrain, which integrates the most fuel-efficient DD15® and DD13® engines ever designed with the technologically advanced DT12™ On-Highway Series transmissions and specifically engineered Detroit™ steer and high-speed ratio tandem axles for optimal, efficient performance."


You will soon be able to experience the Freightliner Cascadia® for yourself from one of your local in-game dealerships!

Some of our hyper-perceptive fans have also noticed the DD15® engine note in our teaser too. If you were curious about how we managed to find a Cascadia® for a sound-recording session, despite the ongoing COVID restrictions, wonder no more! On the tightest of deadlines, our Licensing Manager was able to find and contact Transportbotschafter in Germany, who provided us with the opportunity to rent an imported Freightliner Cascadia® for a day. Have a look at some of the photos they took of the session 3 weeks ago!


If a picture speaks a thousand words, how about a video too?

With the release of the Colorado DLC, which happened just a few days back, a whole new state is now available and ready to be explored. Plus there is a special World of Trucks online event - the #CruisingColorado, in which you can earn some unique rewards for all trucks in your fleet. Could it be any better?

Well, we bet we still can pour some fuel into the engine of the hype train with this video teasing a new whip coming to ATS soon. The question is - are you ready for it?

So what exactly does our Colorado DLC have to offer for truckers? These are just a few of the things we think you will love!

• Drive from the great plains, through the Rocky Mountains to bustling cities and historical towns.
  
• Haul cargo on the Million Dollar Highway
  
• Discover Colorado's important industries like wind power factories or gold mines
  
• Deliver freight to and from the inside of a large cargo aircraft in Denver International Airport
  
• Admire representation of cities like Denver, Colorado Springs and many others
  
• Visit landmarks like the Four Corners Monument and get a bird's-eye view on it with the viewpoint feature
  
• Unlock Colorado-specific Steam achievements
  
• and Much More!
  

And that shouldn't be the only reason to explore Colorado for yourself! As an added bonus we will also have a World of Trucks event for all new visitors to Colorado with unique rewards to be earned as you visit each city and deliver jobs. Learn more about the rules in our yesterday blog post and take part in #CruisingColorado at WorldofTrucks.com. We'd love to see your photos across our Social Media channels using the hashtag!

We expect to have this event available to players for an extended period of time, probably way beyond the point of reaching the 60 million miles which is the current community goal. We don't want to motivate you to rush through the DLC in a hurry to make sure you manage to obtain the personal achievement. We simply want to reward early adopters of the DLC for spending quality time with the new content.



We will also be hosting a special Colorado release live-stream across official Steam & Twitch channels starting at 16:00 CET.

Don't miss out on this broadcast as we talk with members of the map and research teams involved in the creation of Colorado and a special guest appearance from Pavel Šebor CEO of SCS Software! We will be answering questions from the community, talking in-depth about the DLC and of course, releasing Colorado LIVE on stream!

We hope you enjoy exploring what Colorado has to offer, we will see you on the roads!
