What is the best truck not in game? And why is it the Scania T

[Gunbunny]

Just wondering if there is any word or chance of these iconic trucks being added, they are way cuter than cab-overs and with multiplayer coming up I can't use my mod to have a fleet of them ;-;

ETS 2 is about driving COE trucks. That Scania T is not a COE truck, therefore does not belong anywhere near ETS2.

Please show where that is stated. Scania T are European trucks used in Europe, of course it belongs in the game.

If it was about driving Cab over trucks, there would be Kenworths, Peterbilts, Macks and Freightliners of the past......And the Scania T would be in ATS... It's about driving European trucks and the reason the Scania T is not in the game is because it was not manufactured anymore at the lauch of the game back in 2014. SCS said in a blog sometimes ago, they only gonna get rights for new models of trucks. That said, there is a mod of a Scania T in the workshop if you want to. Don't get me wrong, I would like to have a kind of used or older models of trucks dealers in ATS and ETS2 too but mods are the only way to go for that.

European Trucks are all COE because their overall length is highly regulated throughout (Western) Europe, whereas a long nose would make you lose a lot of cargo space, therefore these trucks were abandonned a long time ago, all over (Western) Europe. Hence it do not belong in ETS2.

Same answer as above ... And OMG, videos ? Where else, trucks magazines from the 80s ?

I've seen 2 long noses trucks on the road in the past 5 years, one was a standalone, private transporter, not from a traditionnal fleet and the other was a circus truck, so again, not an actual transporter.

The Saania T chassis doesn't appeal to the average transport company as you must use shorter trailers for the maximum overall length of the vehicle. Shorter trailer is less goods moved on every trip and this costs money.

It has always been a niche model which originally sold very badly. A new version appears to be available, but it is still a tractor unit with limited a specialised appeal.

I think personally that they look awful, and I am not a fan - realise that isn't everyone's opinion.
