The Volvo Construction Equipment ATS expansion introduces authentic Volvo construction machinery to American Truck Simulator, providing players with specialized heavy equipment for construction site operations and infrastructure development projects across the United States.

Construction Machinery Portfolio

This comprehensive DLC features six authentic Volvo construction machines including excavators, wheel loaders, articulated haulers, and compactors. Each machine replicates real-world Volvo models with accurate specifications, dimensions, and performance characteristics matching their industrial counterparts.

Heavy Equipment Specifications

The construction equipment maintains precise technical specifications with Volvo EC750E excavators featuring 75-ton operating weights, Volvo L350H wheel loaders with 5.5 cubic meter bucket capacities, and Volvo A60H articulated haulers capable of transporting 55-ton payloads. All machines display authentic Volvo branding, safety markings, and manufacturer color schemes.

Construction Site Operations

Players engage in specialized construction logistics contracts transporting heavy equipment between construction sites, equipment rental yards, and infrastructure projects. New cargo types include complete excavators, wheel loaders, and other construction machinery requiring specialized trailers and careful handling during transport.

Infrastructure Development Projects

The equipment supports major infrastructure development including highway construction, bridge building, and commercial development projects. Time-sensitive contracts require precise delivery schedules to maintain construction timelines and avoid project delays.

Technical Implementation Details

This construction expansion requires 1.5GB storage space and maintains full compatibility with all heavy-duty trucks in the game. Advanced physics simulation ensures realistic weight distribution, center of gravity calculations, and securement requirements for each type of construction equipment during transport.

Visual Authenticity and Details

All Volvo machines feature high-resolution textures showing realistic wear patterns, operational controls, and safety features. Detailed models include functional hydraulic systems, movable components, and authentic operator cabins with Volvo-specific instrumentation and control layouts.

Economic and Career Integration

Construction equipment transport contracts offer premium payment rates reflecting the specialized nature of heavy machinery logistics. Players can establish dedicated heavy equipment transport companies, building relationships with construction firms to secure lucrative long-term contracts and exclusive transport agreements.

Geographical Operation Areas

The Volvo Construction Equipment ATS content operates across all construction-intensive regions in the game. Primary operations focus on urban development areas, highway construction zones, and major infrastructure projects in states like California, Texas, Colorado, and Washington.

Multiplayer and Community Features

All construction equipment transports function seamlessly in convoy mode, enabling players to coordinate large-scale construction equipment deliveries. Special community events focus on major infrastructure projects where multiple players collaborate to transport complete equipment sets for virtual construction sites.

Real-World Brand Collaboration

This expansion represents an official collaboration with Volvo Construction Equipment, ensuring authentic machine designs, accurate specifications, and brand-approved visual representation. All equipment models underwent review and approval by Volvo’s brand and engineering teams.

Future Expansion Capabilities

The framework supports additional Volvo construction equipment models in future updates, with potential for new machine types like compact excavators, soil compactors, and material handlers as the game continues to expand its construction logistics features.

The Volvo Construction Equipment ATS expansion significantly enhances the heavy equipment transport aspect of American Truck Simulator, providing authentic Volvo machinery for players interested in construction industry logistics.
