Built with all your needs in mind, this truck delivers on both style and performance. It begins under the hood with the high horsepower Cummins ISX, providing the brute power needed to haul the heaviest of loads with fuel economy that your bottom line will appreciate.



And comfort will never be an issue with features like the iconic Eagle interior, extra-wide bunk, and easy-to-read gauges and switches. Whether you're barreling down the highway or polishing up the chrome, one thing's for certain - the International® 9900i will make heads turn.



Its virtual implementation in American Truck Simulator includes an array of configurations including classic day cabins, sleeper options, air filters configurations, exhaust options, interior cab options and a variety of exterior and interior accessories.



The International® 9900i arrives as a free DLC add-on for every owner of American Truck Simulator. Find the latest update on your Steam Client (which may require a restart for some users) to receive this new addition to your library.

It feels like it has been a while since a team from SCS has set out on the road with the purpose of pursuing greater technical improvements for our games and chatting a bit with real truckers in person. That is, however, about to change in April, because some of our developers will journey to Toronto, Canada!



As already hinted by the paragraph above, there are two primary reasons for this trip. First of all, our team will be part of the Daimler Truck North America's Western Star booth at the Truck World Canada expo, which will feature one of our motion seats that we have sent over the ocean to the US a few days ago. Therefore we encourage anyone who would like to meet with us to come check out the motion seat, or simply pay us a visit to say hi to us and the Western Star crew. We'll be more than happy to meet with you at this event!

Secondly, we've been in touch with some amazing guys from the #BestCommunityEver who are also professional truck drivers in Canada, and they are very gracious and generous to allow us to spend a few days with them, so we can do some sound recording sessions with their mighty trucks. We are extremely grateful to all of those who agreed to this and we can't wait to meet you all in person!

We'd also like to mention that if there are more truckers who will be driving around Toronto between the 18th and 25th of April and who would love to meet with us or let us use their trucks to record accurate engine sounds for American Truck Simulator, then feel free to get in touch with us in any way possible. You can send an email to nemiro[at]scssoft[dot]com, or message us either on Instagram or Twitter. Just please keep in mind that we can't guarantee meeting with every single one of you due to our schedule already being almost 100% full, but it's always nice to have some sort of a backup in case things will not go as planned.

We are incredibly eager to take this opportunity since it always brings us joy to be able to advance the technical aspects of our games and meet members of the #BestCommunityEver at the same time. We hope we will manage to chat with as many of you as possible and, at the same time, ensure that we will do the sounds of trucks justice once we will bring them to ATS.

Are you ready to explore the Treasure State? From majestic mountains to crystal clear lakes, Montana will take your breath away with its unspoiled, natural beauty. While deer, antelope and elk outnumber people here, truckers will discover plenty of gems whilst delivering to the many cities & settlements located across the State. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Bozeman

Nicknamed "Boz Angeles", the city of Bozeman has become a popular moving destination for people from California, thus earning it the nickname, and its easy to see why! Locals and tourists alike can enjoy a range of outdoor activities including winter sports, hiking, fishing and more, all on their doorstep. This mountain town is anything but sleepy, and drivers will be sure to enjoy the range of local industries they can deliver to and from.



Kalispell

Another city you can find in our upcoming DLC is Kalispell, which sits among towering mountain ranges in a valley filled with crystal clear lakes. It is also the gateway to the Glacier National Park, which ranks with Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon among the United States' most astounding natural wonders. This city has a rich history of native tribes, who still live in the reservation area to this day.



Laurel

The city of Laurel, is truly the 'Hub of Montana'. From here, all roads lead to the exciting, historical and recreational attractions of Montana; including an entrance to the world famous Yellowstone National Park. Drivers will also be able to deliver to and from the large refinery, among other smaller industries that are located there.



Sidney

Known as Montana's 'Sunrise City' Sidney lies not far from North Dakota border along the Yellowstone River. It is also the centre of trade for the area. This city features a range of industries, but one unique local product drivers can help deliver is sugar; how sweet is that! So no matter your reason for visiting, we are sure Sidney will offer something for everyone.



The cities of Glasgow and Havre will also be featured in the Montana DLC, both which are located along the US-2 in an area rich for its agriculture industries, especially when it comes to grain. Help load up and deliver products from the towering grain elevators.



We'd love to go into detail about every city & settlement that you will be able to discover in Montana, but we think it will be best to leave the exploring to you. We look forward to sharing more development updates in the future. Can't wait to visit? Be sure to add Montana to your Steam Wishlist!

Howdy, truckers! We have some interesting news for those who fancy hauling heavy loads in the American Truck Simulator. In addition to the hidden roads feature mentioned on our blog a couple of weeks ago, in the 1.44 update, you can look forward to a brand new ownable trailer type as well the drop deck trailer!



What makes this trailer special is the fact that it has a lower center of gravity, and it combines the advantages of flatbed and lowboy, which results in a flat surface and a high weight-bearing capacity. It is perfect for hauling items and materials such as aircraft engines, backhoe loaders, forklifts, hay, lumber, metal coils, mooring buoys, pressure tanks, road rollers, and ventilation shafts. Also, because drop decks are low, we had to design new small tires, rims, nuts, and hubs, specifically for this trailer type.



In addition to having 3 customizable body types (wood floor, aluminum floor, sliding tarp) and 2 different chassis lengths (48ft or 53ft) with a choice of two, three, or four axles, here is a detailed list of everything you will be able to customize:

• Front walls
  
• Wind deflector
  
• Warning flags
  
• Aluminum boxes
  
• Chrome boxes
  
• Side markers
  
• Rear banners (long load, oversize load, wide load)
  
• Rear bumpers
  
• Mudflaps
  

Let us know if you are looking forward to this sturdy, reliable, and practical trailer type coming with the 1.44 update for American Truck Simulator. Once you will head out on the road, make sure to take a screenshot with your new drop deck trailer and share it with us on social media by tagging our official accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).
