Update Speculation thread

There is a chance that its an older cherrier logo, but it also just might be a new brand

 

It does look quite similar to the existing Wentward logo, at least from the little bit I can see in the center of the grille.

I mean, Volvo is a Swedish company that also makes US-market semi trucks, so it's not that far-fetched.

 

fluffy panda usually gives a heads up for the teaser in the beamng discord right before a teaser drops, so i just wait for the teaser to be posted then post it here immediately

 

What in the fever dream am I looking at here

 

I think it's similar to that art that was released of the Ardente before its release

Edit: It took me a bit to find this art, but I think it's similar to this

 

To me the logo looks like the edge of the wentward logo

Could be fpu though

 

Now that I think about it, that's not a bad guess, as it could be something similar to the Magnum.

 

And Ford has built the F-MAX for the european market.

 

Found a comment on reddit that the truck might be called the Percheron after a breed of draft horse.

If it's based on new renault trucks it would be cool for it to be the potents successor

 

It could be new brand owned by ETK. For example VW owns MAN.

 

Yeah I think its a Cherrier. The logos are too similar for it not to be and that theorised name on Reddit make way too much sense.

 

these two theories could be interconnected. “Koheron” apparently means “cohesion” in Esperanto, and a web search tells me the at there are amounts of Esperanto speakers in Europe, and more specifically in Germany (don’t quote me on that, Google is unreliable). Maybe an ETK, or a new brand owned by ETK? I’m also a fan of the Percheron theory, that could also point us in the direction of a German brand. I highly doubt it’s a Cherrier. We just got the Ardente, I’d say Cherrier is on a “cooldown” of sorts. Wentward is a possiblity, but I’d call having the games EUROPEAN truck be made by an American brand a little bit far fetched imo

 

Pretty sure the Wentward logo has the arrow on the right, this truck doesn't. Also, an American brand creating a Euro cabover would be both unrealistic (the Ford F-Max is an exception) and a wasted opportunity for a truly European truck.

 

I hope it gets a new engine sound

 

I doubt that - FPU's far too small of a company to be building semi trucks. In the 0.27 devblog, FPU is described as:

That sounds far more like a bunch of people in a shed, not a fully-fledged production facility.

A Wentward rebadge (or some other US-market rebadge) could happen - we've had the Peterbilt Midranger (a VW LT variant built in Brazil) and the Peterbilt Model 220 (a DAF XB/LF cab on top of a Peterbilt 320 chassis). And the Volvo VN-series used the same platform as the FH/FM until 2024. However, I doubt that this is a Wentward badge.

It could be a German brand, but I think the devs would want to have this new Euro truck come from a new nation (or at least, I hope - we haven't had a new European mass-market manufacturer or a new major nation in six years).

 

Is it just me or can you see engine internals on the wireframe?

 

No, it's not just you. I can definitely see stuff that appears to be belts and pulleys. I don't see stuff like the pistons, though. Then again, I'm way out of my element, I know basically nothing about European semis.

 

Just looks awfully detailed, but wireframe could be misleading
