i can only find the electric transmission no motor is it a level unlock item or only for some model of trucks the engine/motor can not be found just the transmission

ONLY thing i see needs too change is the selector from D to drive, You have it set for D low range or craw...l D for normal driving Change D to C for crawl and D for drive So you can tell the difference between Crawl and Drive Other than that LIKE your MOD works great !!!

Hello, can you make this for the new 2024 Freightliner Cascadia?
makdayzcorporation Sep 24, 2024 @ 7:12am 
scs made a electric truck for ETS2 so why not for ATS?
VJ GAMZ 04 Sep 24, 2024 @ 5:36am 
@Escanor nevermind, I found it, thanks!

I'm currently digging more infos on the rise of electric trucks, interestingly there are electric trucks that only has 2 gears, some are using a traditional transmission (i.e volvo's 12 speed), i may incorporate this transmission options soon
ハゲ | Escanor  [author] Jun 29, 2024 @ 10:08am 
I can raise the speed limit a bit, but i'll try updating that on major changes
ryanclark1995 Jun 14, 2024 @ 8:47pm 
Anyway to increase the reverse speed limit? 4 mph seems more like a crawl when backing up.

Alright i managed to get the files of their electric trucks, there were added tags on the file itself, however, the biggest caveat is their electric implementation has gears, normally where electric truck has ♥♥♥♥ ton of torque and normally has crawl and drive gear and that's it, which is what this mod do, and due to that nature, its common to burn the wheels when pressed heavily (this mod does it too). so this mod most likely will not change until SCS Developers actually do something about it

OKAY Guys, while i was working on this mod, there were some cases here and there and ETS2 finally announced that they'll have an Electric Truck for the first time

We could have a new configuration for electric motors and i'm thinking of implementing the new electric implementation of ETS2 and hoping be implemented here also in ATS.

If all else works, then the latest Electric motor should be more polished

I am gonna push the promised electric motors but it is still widely not optimized and needs extensive testing, however if people wants to test this, new iteration, then i'll push the new update in a few hours or so
EuroGuy May 23, 2024 @ 9:13am 
update 1.50 please.
ryanclark1995 Mar 26, 2024 @ 3:57am 
I definitely will look forward to this update when you finish it and release it!

Hello, i have been very inactive and busy, but i am currently experimenting with a new line of electric engines, we'd have 4 options

500 HP
1000 HP
1500 HP
2000 HP

and a new transmission, it was pretty tough to find solution if towing something heavy, calculating wheel torque and referencing combustion engine.

i don't know the current ETA for this, but this should be a better and more fleshed out electric motor than this one, for the sound design, I could probably release it earlier as beta, as other people mentioned they want a sound, with the new implementation i made, i need to figure out how to make a proper electric sound with the way it is currently configured
saturnopiter Mar 8, 2024 @ 9:14pm 
can you create electric engine with 500 hp
SimDriver Apr 22, 2023 @ 11:39am 
Nice, but reversing is ridiculous too fast, keep damaging the trailer, so its not really an electric truck.

Hey! I have feedback for you.
Beginning with difficulty with throttling, Slight pressure = lots of acceleration Result: Difficulty in careful manoeuvring.
It also accelerates when I'm not even applying pressure, might be a me problem, I do not know.
Fuel consumption, I correlate to the RPM as mentioned above but it consumes more stationary than accelerating
One other thing,
Sounds! Mentioned by others, lack of sound which makes sense since it's electric, however the motors irl do produce a bit of noise.
So.. I'm gonna go ahead and see if this is something you could possibly do because honest to god, I have zero experience with sound design and modding, not a clue.
But anyways, if it would be possible for you to perhaps nab the sounds from here and stick them onto the motor, it'd be damn cool:

Aside from all that, thanks for reading and considering.

@Pizzaguy, well most electric engine are silent so i will probably not add anything but thanks for the feedback

@ryanclark1995 I'll try once i have free time, since my time is mostly getting occupied by my college

@EuroGuy I'll try too look at it once i have time
EuroGuy Jan 8, 2023 @ 9:18am 
I can't find electric 500 trans on the Work shop
EuroGuy Jan 8, 2023 @ 8:43am 
Version 1.46 please
EuroGuy Jan 8, 2023 @ 8:42am 
Je ne trouve pas dans les moteurs
I can't find in engines
Pizzaguy Jan 6, 2023 @ 9:01pm 
and mabye with sound too. still a great mod
ryanclark1995 Jan 2, 2023 @ 1:21am 
I think it would be nice to see another Electric Engine with a little less power
Pizzaguy Dec 31, 2022 @ 8:02pm 
neat mod
ハゲ | Escanor  [author] Dec 7, 2022 @ 10:24pm 
@Knight80495 thank you for letting me know, going to update it right away
JonnySilverhand@2077! Dec 5, 2022 @ 11:33pm 
when is the Cascadia going to get this?
makdayzcorporation Nov 9, 2022 @ 3:07pm 
It coast me over $1,000.00 for a full charge , until you can got to a charge station this will not work for me . and needs to work with all Trucks.
ハゲ | Escanor  [author] Nov 8, 2022 @ 10:53pm 
@makdayzcorporation should be available on all vanilla trucks yeah?
makdayzcorporation Nov 8, 2022 @ 7:07am 
Why did it cost me over 1,000.00 to charger the battery , this is ridiculous , how can this be changed?
makdayzcorporation Nov 7, 2022 @ 5:21pm 
When will the rest of the trucks get the motor
ComanderKerman Nov 4, 2022 @ 2:50pm 
Just some numbers: With a 6x8 drive train and a 125 ton vehicle weight, you can reliably maintain 80mph and get up to 85mph.
ComanderKerman Nov 3, 2022 @ 8:09pm 
Checked out the price balance and it feels really good.
ハゲ | Escanor  [author] Oct 30, 2022 @ 3:45am 
(10/30/2022) Changes

Should be available on all vanilla trucks and price adjustments, let me know if the price is too high or too low as i'm not good at balancing prices lmao
ComanderKerman Sep 20, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
Needs a price adjustment. Swapping a standard drive train for electric motors is a significant change to the vehicle.
jeeperz Sep 18, 2022 @ 4:01pm 
You need an option to remove the exhaust and air cleaners. Don't think an electric motor needs them.

@Casting Couch no it does not, they are usually quiet, incase you wanna send a better sound for the motor, you may message me in discord "᲼ ᲼ ᲼#6969"
Casting Couch Aug 19, 2022 @ 6:40pm 
Does the mod have motor sound? Can't really hear anything when I'm driving.
ryanclark1995 Aug 17, 2022 @ 6:19pm 
I like this and would like to see it update to add more of the trucks.
