We've just received a cryptic letter with some very disturbing news: Santa Claus might not be able to deliver all gifts in time on his own! We were told that Father Christmas is looking for logistic professionals who want to help out with Santa's substantial delivery backlog.

Here's more details for elves truckers who want to help out to make sure that all gifts are delivered in time: The task at hand is delivering a unique kind of cargo over the distance equal to that of SCS Software office and the North Pole. Note that this distance can be covered across multiple deliveries. Progress of the deliveries can be tracked from your World of Trucks profile.





You may ask - where do these cool truck & trailer combos come from? The Christmas Gifts trailers have just appeared today in the game for all players after 1.15 update, so anyone can deliver them. As for the truck paintjobs, they are a part of Christmas Paintjobs DLC. Thousands of people have received this DLC from us for free during a recent World of Trucks campaign. It is available for purchase on Steam now.

Santa always makes sure that everyone gets the gifts they deserve, and indeed, there is something special waiting for everyone who contributes his or her due to the effort to transport all the gift packages in our Polar Express 2014 Event. Succeed and you will be rewarded with a special Raven Truck Design DLC. This original tuning set cannot be purchased, the only way to obtain is to earn a Steam key for it during this limited-time event.

• New Exclusive interior for DAF Euro 6

With public beta test in full swing, the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2 ver. 1.15 "Holiday Update" is getting really close. But we have heard your voices that American Truck Simulator is getting very little attention on the blog lately, indeed our recent posts were heavily concentrated on ETS2 content.

So we have at least a few screenshots for you today, taken from the latest build of American Truck Simulator. There might not be much news to share right now, the design team is hard at work on the map and the vehicles, while we are still striving to obtain the truck licenses that we need. Rest assured that everyone on our ATS team is working hard to bring the American highways and more to your computers as soon as possible.













Alternate title for this announcement was The American Truck Crew.

We have a couple of new screenshots from Scandinavia DLC, continuing where our last announcement left off: new special places based on real industry locations. This time around we would like to share a preview of Swedish Volvo Trucks factory in Tuve, Gothenburg.

When designing the area we relied on photos kindly provided to us by Volvo Trucks to ensure accuracy and good presentation.

Drivers in Scandinavia DLC will have the unique opportunity of becoming a vital chain of truck industry logistics by delivering new vehicles directly from manufacturing plants to showrooms and dealerships where they are sold!
