Wow, looks nice so far! Glad to see more utility vehicle mods being developed for BeamNG. My suggestion is PLEASE do not include the real life companies liveries in the repo version. Separate pack in this very forum thread would be better, and die-hard lore fans would rest safely About lore liveries, there aren't much to choose from, but something styled for West and East coasts, as well as Italy and maybe even New Zealand (or where is the Automation test track located) would be nice! Vanilla Wentward bus also has advertisement shields, those can be made with big commericals in mind such as Tasty Cola or Yield cab co... Imagine a taxi ad on a bus, peak marketing --- Post updated --- Oh, and perhaps some non-service liveries such as crash testing, driving school, Apex metrics (if crazy enough) as well as "hero"-styled outfit for Jato config if there'll be one.
west midlands travel seat skin skins for bus ireland if you need more lmk --- Post updated --- also as wentward is american why not call it the elizbeth alexander based on alexander dennis --- Post updated --- also copanysb show this at bus shows
I wasn't sure weather to include them in a seperate mod or with the vehicle. Thanks for your information though! I am going to hopefully port the metro and transit skins from the stock DT40L to the endeavour for WCUSA, and try to design my own for ECUSA and Automation testing They will hopefully be included too, with a few different customisable ads too, such as ads for Belasco city etc I never thought of this, but I'll go with this too. Adding a demonstrator bus too with a custom livery and custom advertisement boards showing its features, especially for the "electric" version Thanks, I'll try to make do with what I have got already!
I want to try to make it very detailed with lots of different configuration options. It'll take a lot of time though
The reason that I named it the endeavour is because the body in real life is the "Endeavour" by Custom Coaches

It was a company that took root in the cold, rugged landscapes of Västra Svea and grew alongside the people it served. From heavy-duty trucks to luxury cars, the company forged a legacy that would eventually branch out into cutting-edge performance vehicles and electric systems—all while staying true to its Nordic heritage. The Early Years: Crafting a Legacy Skandek’s history began humbly in 1927, when a group of visionary engineers and craftsmen set out to create a better kind of car—one that would handle the harsh winters of northern Svea and withstand the rough roads of the countryside. In the early days, Skandek focused on reliable sedans and durable trucks, vehicles designed with practical considerations at their core. The first true success came with the SV40 "Fjell", a compact sedan that quickly became a symbol of resilience. It wasn’t the most luxurious, but it was a car you could trust to get you through even the most brutal of winters. As the company grew, so did its ambitions. The SV60 "Bergsta" of the early 1960s marked the first serious step toward becoming an internationally recognized brand. Known for its solid construction and legendary safety features, the Bergsta gained traction not only in the harsh Scandinavian climates but across Europe. Families from the quiet streets of Skandköping to the bustling avenues of Berlin were soon driving Bergstas. The 1970s and 1980s saw Skandek take a leap into the more boxy designs that would come to define the company. The SV100 "Klint" was a no-nonsense sedan with a robust, square body that became a household name. In a time when competitors were trying to outdo each other with flashy designs, Skandek stuck to what worked: simplicity, reliability, and safety. The Klint was a car you could rely on to protect your family, whether on icy roads or under the beating sun of southern Europe. The Commercial Division: Built to Last Skandek’s commercial trucks had always been part of the company’s DNA. Early models like the LV30, released in the 1930s, were built for heavy-duty work—ideal for timber haulers, farmers, and military transport. Over the years, Skandek would refine these trucks, increasing their power, reliability, and efficiency. The R500 “Starke” of the 1990s was a true testament to the company’s dedication to quality. Built to endure long-haul journeys across Europe, it was Skandek’s flagship truck for nearly 15 years. It wasn’t just a workhorse; it was a statement. Skandek trucks became synonymous with toughness and endurance—traits that made the brand an international name in heavy-duty vehicles. The Next Chapter: Ætheron – A New Horizon By the mid-2000s, the world was changing, and Skandek knew it had to adapt. The rise of electric vehicles was no longer a distant dream but a fast-approaching reality. It wasn’t just about creating a new line of cars—it was about reinventing what Skandek could be. In 2019, Skandek took the bold step of forming Ætheron, its performance and electric vehicle division. The idea behind Ætheron was simple yet ambitious: to combine Skandek’s rich history of quality engineering with the future of sustainable performance. Ætheron’s first offering, the A1 Halo, was nothing short of revolutionary. A sleek, dual-motor grand tourer with a range that could challenge the best electric vehicles on the market. The A1 wasn’t just a car; it was a bold declaration that Skandek was ready to lead the future of automotive innovation. Ætheron’s success wasn’t just about speed or efficiency—it was about design. The cars were built not only to perform but to inspire. Their minimalistic approach to design, coupled with their ultra-modern features like Aura Blade lighting and halo wing doors, turned heads wherever they went. In the world of BeamNG, Ætheron vehicles became symbols of luxury and sustainability. The Ætheron Evolution After the success of the A1 Halo, Ætheron expanded its lineup to include models like the Væra X, a performance crossover that showed the world that electric SUVs could be powerful and refined. These vehicles weren’t just for the everyday consumer—they were aimed at enthusiasts who appreciated performance, design, and cutting-edge technology. Ætheron didn’t stop there, though. The company’s engineers pushed boundaries with hypercar concepts like the AXS 7, a track-focused beast with solid-state batteries and a top speed that rivaled the world’s best. But Ætheron wasn’t just about performance—it was about the future. The division's SomaDrive autonomous driving system would eventually redefine how people traveled. Ætheron’s vision was clear: a world where driving was no longer a task but an experience. Skandek in the Present: A Seamless Future In 2025, Skandek and Ætheron were no longer just names—they were institutions in the world of transportation. The partnership between Skandek’s commercial lines and Ætheron’s electric vehicles had led to a seamless integration of technology. Skandek’s long-haul trucks were now fully electric, and their buses featured next-gen electric drivetrains. Skandek had successfully bridged the gap between its heritage of heavy-duty vehicles and the modern demands of the electric age. The future for Skandek and Ætheron was bright, and together, they were paving the way for an era where performance, safety, and sustainability all went hand-in-hand. --- Post updated --- yes its by ai but i chaged a biy
Afaik Lore Friendly would use a brand that's already established in the BeamNG community. Using a custom brand, while is it unique, it doesn't tie in with the rest of the game's story, if that makes sense
That OR doing your best to come up with a new imaginary brand that has slight, unobtrusive references to the IRL counterpart, including a good-sounding name + logo that would both work the same way, a little lore story that may intertwine with already established brands and, if you want that, some additional promo materials teasing the vehicle itself --- Post updated --- There are plenty examples: from Procyon and Segra to even TAZ. (Despite only one letter being changed, it is a very precise decision and the brand overall is still an example of a nicely built lore.)
