Adds a 16.4-liter V8 diesel engine to the Cherrier Percheron, as well as assembly options for motorsports, electric vehicle, expedition, racing transporter, garbage truck and waste truck. All models are based on real data (truck specifications, coachbuilders' data, motorsport and traffic regulations) and use only original designs, as well as official BeamNG resources.
NOTE:
The Percheron is a European truck from the early 2000s. The V8 engine, automatic transmission (on the market since 1997), traction control system, assembly options for motorsports, garbage truck and waste truck correspond to that era. The E-Trait system (electric car), the expedition's LED beam and solar panels, electric running boards and cassette awnings, and the garbage truck's contour markings (mandatory since 2011) — are intentional state-of-the-art elements that reflect the situation «what if».
