I'm well aware of that, but when you said that the Devs mentioned a new truck, I wanted to ask them about it.
When I hear planned, I think about the secret car list. I won't post it here, as that would get this thread locked, but I didn't see any trucks on it...
@Ulrichou86 is right. If were thinking about the same thing then tdev mentioned that they have some more trucks planned for the future. It was a long time ago but i don't think it was in the update speculation thread(if were thinking about the same post). He just said that they'll make some trucks and he didn't specify(or possibly know) what kind of truck it would be based on at all. They could make an truck soon or after a year for all we know. As for the "secret car list" (more commonly known as the concept vehicle list: You don't know what vehicles the names are for. You just had names and nothing else. Also that list is old, even older than the message about trucks by tdev.
American, eh? Well technically this is American, just southern part of continent and it is European brand, but still kinda American, right? Newer and more uglier version too: However those are bit big. H-series flatnose could be actually quite close to those smaller trucks in Europe and Asia (probably also in US), just would need bit longer frame. Indian Tata for example here is kinda like bit stretched H-series with cab over front axle, very common for shorter deliveries, but totally missing almost in any game, I think that Hard Truck I had such, maybe, not sure if Hard Truck II had such anymore and don't really know which game would had such at least as drivable vehicle: I think that at some place in Europe it is known as bakery delivery truck or however that translates to english, 8-10 metric tons gross weight is kinda typical. Not sure if H-series is 6 tons or so? Well, some firetrucks in Europe are such, MAN brand has such. What I think is that it could be made so that same base vehicle could be American, Asian or European by changing bumpers, light mirrors, etc. I mean even T-series could be perfectly fine as European truck if you swap hood and cab, fuel tanks etc. not all trucks in Europe are cab overs either. Not sure how much it would save in development time, but kinda would think addition to H-series would be how those could be done easiest way. Also this needs to be made: Not a Photoshop, search for tunnel firetruck to find out more of those odd things, but I think that kinda is crazy enough thing that it is a must.
