SCS Software had a surprise in store for American Truck Simulator fans today, in the form of two trucks released at no additional cost.
As we learn from the official post, both trucks are from Volvo, but they’re very different, the first being the 2025 model of the Volvo VNL.
It comes with a variety of customization options like chassis configurations, paint jobs, accessories, and more, including a special paint job for the SCS box trailer.
You can also select among a variety of engine options.
The second truck is the Volvo VNR Electric, which is actually the first electric truck included in American Truck Simulator. The downside is that it’s available only in Quick Jobs, since the simulator doesn’t have a network of charging stations.
You can see them both below.
merican Truck Simulator is available for PC, and it’s the sister game to Euro Truck Simulator 2. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are also coming. American Truck Simulator Version 1.59 for PC has just been launched.
Illinois is the next DLC coming for the simulator on May 14, 2026. You can check out its truck stops, the city of Marion, Rockford, Quincy, even more truck stops, Moline, Peoria, Champaign, the prairies, Bloomington, water bodies, more settlements, the Murals, East St. Louis, and the custom depots. You can also take a look at the first extensive gameplay showcase and the second.
South Dakota should come afterward, and we already saw its Truck Stops, countryside, towns, cities, more Truck Stops, the road network, more settlements, and even more towns.
The game will soon cross the borders of the United States and go to Canada with the British Columbia DLC.
Another big project is the Road Trip feature, spearheaded by the Ford Car Pack (of which we also saw the Ford Crown Victoria, the Ford F-150, the Ford Mustang Fastback,and the Ford Bronco Badlands) and the Ram & Dodge Car Pack with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, which will expand the simulator’s experience from trucks to cars and pickup trucks, including pure exploration and the delivery of smaller packages.
