In TruckSimulation 16 you will take true-to-life control of one of nine real trucks. Start out with a rickety old clunker and earn your first coins in a variety of supply contracts across a large road network in Western and Central Europe. Use the money you earn to purchase better trucks, such as five faithfully reproduced MAN tractor units! Diverse mission types, from standard orders to the transportation of hazardous goods, provide plenty of variety. Select the right trailer for one of eight different categories of goods – transport bulky goods using the wood semitrailer or groceries with the frozen trunk-semitrailer. The road network covers vast parts of Central and Western Europe and, with more than 20 cities complete with realistic landmarks, it provides unlimited driving pleasure along familiar highways. If you undertake your journeys carefully and punctually, you will receive bonuses that you can invest into your company – in the management menu you can employ new workers, who will be able to undertake journeys and bring in money for new vehicles and trailers. Have you amassed a small fortune? Then treat yourself to the faithfully-reproduced racing truck by Team Hahn, the several-time European champions, and hurtle along Europe's highways in a real racing truck. Will you become the biggest player in European logistics?
