Oklahoma - New Industries

The state of Oklahoma is home to a variety of industries, and today we are happy to share with you previews and information on some of the new and unique depots that you'll be able to deliver to in our upcoming Oklahoma DLC for American Truck Simulator. Please mind, due to the development still being in the early stages, the following screenshots are not from a completed map as the areas are still a work-in-progress.

Tire Factory



One of the wheely unique industries in Oklahoma is the presence of two of the most famous tire manufacturers in the world. Based in the cities of Lawton and Ardmore, the state's history of tire-making stretches back nearly a century. At full capacity, both factories combined can produce up to 108,000 tires a day, providing drivers around the world with safe rubber on their vehicles and truckers busy all year round!

Gas & Chemical Distribution



Oklahoma is among the top oil and natural gas-producing states in the country. With a lot smaller towns and industries depending on the distribution of gas and chemicals for a number of uses; Truckers in Oklahoma will be able to take on jobs from larger depots to deliver across the state and beyond. Be sure to have your tanker trailers clean and ready!

Bus Factory



Did you know Oklahoma is also known as 'The School Bus Capital of the World'? In the city of Tulsa, up to 11,000 of the iconic yellow American school buses are constructed and rolled out every year. From engine parts to paint, the factory has a rolling assembly line that requires constant delivery of essential materials to keep production moving and on target.

Municipal Depots



Public and Emergency service vehicles require a high amount of maintenance and upkeep to make sure they are safe on the road. Everything from public buses to ambulances have their own depots, garages and warehouses where they are maintained for safe usage on the road. Truckers will be able to contribute in delivering parts among other materials to these important vehicles on the road.

Electrical Appliance Factory



Everything from air conditioners to transformers (no, not the robots in disguise) are produced here. While these factories are quite generic, truckers will be able to haul an array of different electrical appliances to deliver across the state of Oklahoma and beyond!

River Port



Based on a real port located along the river in Tulsa, this hub serves as an important transshipment point for all imports and exports transported by boat to continue their journey forward by a range of transport including Truck! Its public and private terminals serve grain, dry bulk, breakbulk, and bulk liquids. And large volume is no problem. In fact, customers send and receive over 2.2 million tons of cargo each year by barge, rail, and truck.

Furniture Store
From tables to bed frames, these stores provide locally sourced and built furniture. This depot specifically compliments the many woodworking industries that can be found across American Truck Simulator. From the source to the product, you can be a part of the process in this unique industry.

Tulsa Airport



From Oklahoma to the world, Tulsa airport serves as an important hub for both visitors and cargo alike. Home to a handful of logistic operations, with daily cargo flights departing for larger hubs across the states, it is a vital part of the freight network which can deliver cargo across the world quickly and with precision. You may even find yourself delivering or picking up some unique cargo at the airport, which is a round-the-clock operation.

There is always plenty of options when it comes to haulin' in our upcoming Oklahoma DLC. Whether your company specializes in tankers or refrigerated trailers, there will always be a job waiting for you in 'The Sooner State'. We look forward to sharing more previews in the future. Until then, if you like what you see, be sure to add Oklahoma to your Steam Wishlist!

Christmas Reflections and Cruising Texas Events Conclusion

Since November, truck simulation fans around the world have been celebrating the release of the Texas DLC for American Truck Simulator by taking part in our #CruisingTexas World of Trucks event. During this special event, truckers could earn Texas themed in-game rewards by completing personal and community goals whilst delivering to and from multiple cities across the Lone Star State.



It didn't take our #BestCommunityEver long to smash through the set community goal of 125,000,000 miles (201,168,000 km); in just over 2 weeks, the goal was met! We are always blown away by the work and effort put in by our players to complete these events. We really ought to up the ante in the future. To all those who took part and even contributed past the set goal, we really do appreciate you.

As always, we've put together a small infographic which shows some of the statistics from this event. That's a lot of driving (and we don't even want to imagine the money spent on fuel!), awesome work! We hope you enjoyed #CruisingTexas over the past few months.



But that wasn't the only event running. In December, we also hosted our annual Christmas World of Trucks event. This year's theme focused on Love, Peace, Hope, Care and the positivity that comes from sharing them with others. Over the holiday period we asked you to deliver Gifts to and from all cities in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, challenging the community to get 400 Gifts awarded to cities across all trucking territories for each of the five tiers.



In a true holiday spirit, you completed our #ChristmasReflections event on Xmas Day (25th December), Santa would be proud! Once again, the collective strength of the #BestCommunityEver has produced incredible final numbers, so let’s take a look at how you all faired throughout the duration of this special event.



Absolutely amazing work truckers! You really did deliver this Christmas and we hope you enjoy the unique Xmas themed accessories and paint jobs which you earned during this event. We thank you all for participating, you really did help in sharing Love, Peace, Hope and Care across the world.



No matter how much or little you delivered during these events, we hope you enjoyed them and the unique cargo and rewards that came with them. We also appreciate all those who took to our social media channels to share photos, videos and content alike during them. It really does bring a lot of joy to our teams to see how much you enjoy participating in these events.



We especially loved the positive feedback which you expressed in regards to the Xmas Desktop Theme, as this was a new edition to the event. We hope to make this a more regular feature in the future when it comes to seasonal events.



As we continue on into 2023, we look forward to bringing new events to the trucking calendar. Until then, we wish you many miles of safe and happy driving!

Looking back at 2022

How time flies! The year 2022 is behind us and, as always, we would like to take a brief look back at everything that we went through over the last twelve months.



When we glance at the combined development and progression of American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, we can say that there are certainly a lot of positives that are worth bringing up. We have managed to release several projects, such as map expansions, new vehicles and parts, in-game features, and general improvements in numerous updates. But to top it all off, we are glad that we could further strengthen some of the partnerships with real-life brands, which, as well as this being reflected in our games last year, leaves us excited for what the future holds. We hope all of these elements helped to raise the bar once again and successfully improved the gaming experience of every player.

Check out this awesome video that showcases everything that our games and we as a company went through in 2022!
