For more than 60 years, Bobcat[www.bobcat.com] has been building compact equipment used by individuals, workers, and businesses across countless industries. Today, we’re excited to announce that drivers in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 can now deliver Bobcat equipment across our virtual worlds, supplying in-game industries with the Bobcat Cargo Pack.

Since the late 1950s, they’ve been building compact, hardworking machines designed to get the job done in tight spaces, on tough terrain, and in demanding conditions. They are best known for creating the world's first skid-steer loader, a machine that has become an absolute icon on construction sites worldwide. 

It’s only fitting that this legendary piece of equipment takes centre stage in this cargo pack, representing Bobcat’s spirit of versatility, power, and practicality.
Alongside the iconic skid-steer loader, the Bobcat Cargo Pack also brings a selection of machines commonly seen across a range of industrial areas and businesses. From excavators and wheel loaders used on construction sites to forklifts, telehandlers, and support equipment found in depots and farms, these cargoes reflect the everyday work Bobcat machines are trusted to handle.
Every cargo included in this DLC has been created using detailed reference materials and technical information collected and provided during our collaboration, making sure each machine looks and feels right when loaded up on your trailer. The Bobcat Cargo Pack DLC features a variety of equipment from Bobcat's product lineup, giving drivers plenty of new job contracts on the road. This includes:

• Agricultural Telehandler - Bobcat TL30.70 

• Compressor - Bobcat PA12.7v 

• Excavator - Bobcat E60 

• Forklift - Bobcat D30

• Mini Excavator (Electric) - Bobcat E10e 

• Skid-Steer Loader - Bobcat S86

• Wheel Loader - Bobcat L95

In addition to these new cargoes, this DLC also includes a set of Bobcat branded cabin accessories. These include work gloves, a black hard cap, a hard hat, a polo shirt, and a reflective safety vest. Inspired by real world workwear featuring the Bobcat logo, they are the perfect addition to any hardworking trucker’s cabin, and a great reminder that safety always comes first on the job!

Fresh news from the Prairie State just got delivered! In today's blog, we would like to show you how we are progressing with the Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator by showcasing a selection of settlements you will discover in this state, so let's dive in.

Apart from the big cities where you will often deliver cargo to and from, you will also encounter these smaller towns on the road. Our map designers are putting together a total of 11 settlements for Illinois, and today, we are showing you a selection of them.

Monmouth is one of the first towns you will discover when driving from Iowa into Illinois, located near the state line in western Illinois, northwest of Peoria[blog.scssoft.com]. Established in 1831, it serves as the county seat of Warren County. The local economy is rooted in agriculture, and the town is well known for hosting annual maple and beef festivals that celebrate its rural heritage. In the game, Monmouth will be easy to recognize thanks to its beautiful historic landmarks, including the Warren County Courthouse and Monmouth City Hall.

Continuing south along Route 67, you'll arrive in Macomb, the county seat of McDonough County, established in 1829. The town is perhaps best known for "Macombopoly", the world's largest game of its kind, featuring oversized game pieces displayed around the lawn of the McDonough County Courthouse. The installation pays tribute to the classic board game and its inspiration, which was created by one of the town's residents. To reflect this unique piece of local history, a recreation of the courthouse, along with one of the statues that commemorates this connection, has been included in the map.

At the junction of Interstate 39 and Route 24 lies the small town of El Paso, home to just over 2,000 residents. In the past, El Paso served as an important railroad hub. Its local freight depot became historically significant and, following the decline of rail transport, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In later years, the depot was transformed into an archbishop center, which is now a distinctive local landmark that has also been recreated in the game.

Chenoa, located in McLean County, is one of the towns along the historic Route 66. In recognition of this iconic highway, the game features a roadside attraction inspired by its real-world counterpart in Chenoa, paying tribute to the legendary route. Farther along the road, you'll also spot a recreation of a small historic red wooden house, which today operates as a gift shop.

Continuing on Route 24 from Chenoa, you will arrive in the town of Gilman. Being located on the intersection of Interstate 57, Route 24, and Route 45, it has been nicknamed "The City of the Crossroads", which is also reflected on its welcome sign in the real world and our game as well.

In the western part of the state lies the city of Beardstown, historically known as the "Belle of the Bend" because of its prominent location on a curve of the Illinois River. The town's characteristic name comes from its founder, Thomas Beard, who settled there in 1819, when he built a log cabin at the edge of the river, from which he traded with the local native Americans and ran a ferry.
