From the deserts of Arizona to the streets of Chicago, American Truck Simulator players can now experience Volvo Trucks’ latest models. Developed by SCS Software, the game has sold more than seven million copies worldwide and allows players to build a trucking business while hauling freight across the United States.
Introducing Volvo diesel and electric models to trucking enthusiasts
American Truck Simulator has become a phenomenon among gamers, trucking enthusiasts, and professional drivers. Players start as independent owner-operators hauling cargo, earning money, buying trucks, and expanding their fleets into full transport companies. Rather than racing, the game focuses on the challenge of driving safely, managing operations, and growing a successful business.
“This is a very exciting way to introduce our trucks — both the diesel and the battery-electric version — to millions of truck enthusiasts around the world,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “American Truck Simulator has built an incredibly passionate community that appreciates great trucks and authentic driving experiences. We’re proud that the most modern trucks on North American roads are now part of that experience.”
Players can now take the virtual wheel of the all-new Volvo VNL truck in a free update to American Truck Simulator.

Players are not simply driving a digital truck; they are experiencing the same design vision and attention to detail that shaped the real vehicle.”
