A great way to begin the presentation of some electric truck with delivering it on a spot by a diesel truck .

I've got a feeling a blog post is coming soon.   Oh what do you know, there is!

Do you like trailers a lot?  Like.... A LOT?  You might enjoy this blog post.

SCS On The Road: TIRSAN SKS Tipper Walk-Around

[MasterXtreme]

SCS also recently changed the blog post banner to this.

Czech and Turkish languages are becoming more common in later SCS videos.
Actually, it’s remarkable how many attention they give to the trailers which are more complicated by design, but carry less profitable cargo. The dryvan doesn’t need any of removing tarp or dynamic loading animation (and doesn’t require to model a cargo at all ), and allows you to haul more expensive stuff, so you need to give the log trailer or the grain hopper some additional attractiveness to raise the interest to hauling the low-profitable cargoes .

[RainySunshine]

I feel bad because I usually don't take these smaller, more detailed loads.  I take the big heavy cargo.

[timmelon]

One more example of preferring the look over efficiency: due to only one 20' container capacity in its 48' length, this trailer is less profitable than «normal» container carriers, which take 2×20' in 40' length.

But I love the curves of its thicc frame . I am sure it’s designed for some small and heavy containers (nuclear waste?), but they just don’t exist in the game. However, even a half-size container of TVs brings more money than logs or wood chips.

This man is loving the curves and thiccness of a trailer. ^

[timmelon]

Well, are you agree that normal container carrier has more simple-looking frame (and no fenders over its wheels)?

[Rainberry]

The curved trailer up top looks better.

Rumors are swirling for the Scania S BEV, the eventual reveal of a new IVECO, the Mack Pinnacle, the complete Kenworth T680, but also a Peterbilt truck... Hmmm.

A small and quick beta

Something tells me the beta test will be short — the size of a new 1.51 patch is much smaller than previous patch had. As you can see from this comparison shot
(BTW, the pale yellow from older patches returns!), the new part of I-44 is really small, and replacement of the trees in Texas seems to be a bigger update of the map. Anyway, there are a lot of small parts from the upcoming states (so, those YouTubers who like to show new hidden areas will know where to search ):

The new aerodynamic kits (for the trucks which didn’t have them before) and dynamic loading for chip vans are too small vehicle updates, but I still believe we will not be left without a new truck before the next patch .

[FoxTail]

So this means it might be just a few more weeks before 1.51 released and the new DLC?

[timmelon]

I doubt we will see a new map expansion before October .
But some new truck or an unexpected DLC (a tuning pack, a cargo pack etc.) may be coming somewhere in the middle before 1.51 and 1.52 release.

[RainySunshine]

So this means it might be just a few more weeks before 1.51 released and the new DLC?

1.51 may release at the end of this month or next month.   State DLC is close behind.

[Graymist]

It's nice to see this.  One step closer for another DLC.

I wonder if they will reveal the 1.51 beta for ETS tomorrow or will they wait a bit as they have been doing recently?
