The DLC promises to extend France’s broad streets, narrow boulevards and open outdoors. With 20,000 km of new roads and highways to explore, to say this expansion is expansive would be an understatement.
Alongside additional roads comes 15 new cities to explore, including numerous famous french landmarks and recognizable places. To compliment the city, rural french villages, lush new scenery – featuring enhanced vegetation and new forest ecosystems – and new industries, like Nuclear Power Plants, will also make up the new update.
New companies will be available to work for, with each specific companies containing new and unique cargos to haul. The French tollgate system will affect routes, as truckers either have to pay a toll to pass, or “get a ticket” such that a toll can be collected when they leave the tolled section. Tolls range from 3 to 234 Euros.
