BeamNG.drive players may soon have a new European-style truck to throw around, with developer BeamNG teasing the vehicle just shy of two weeks after the game’s substantial V0.39 update landed.
Details are scarce at this stage — the studio has shown off the truck as a teaser rather than a full reveal, so there’s no confirmed name, release date, or spec sheet to pore over yet. What we do know is the design direction: a cab-over-style hauler in the European tradition, rather than the long-nosed American rigs that have featured in the game before.
The timing is worth noting. V0.39 was a big release for the soft-body physics sandbox, and following it up almost immediately with a fresh vehicle tease suggests the team isn’t slowing down after shipping a major update. BeamNG has a long track record of steady, free content drops, and this looks like more of the same pipeline at work.
Why should sim racers care about a truck in a game that isn’t strictly a racing sim? Because BeamNG’s soft-body physics make every new vehicle class interesting in a way most titles can’t match. A large European truck means new weight, dimensions, and crash behaviour to explore — and the game’s community has a habit of turning every addition into racing content anyway, from truck racing scenarios to mods built on top of official vehicles. Anyone who has spent time in Euro Truck Simulator 2 will also appreciate having a cab-over hauler that deforms convincingly when things go wrong.
For now, treat this as an early heads-up rather than an imminent release. BeamNG teasers typically precede inclusion in a future update, so expect fuller details when the next version’s development notes start rolling out. We’ll keep it honest: it’s a teaser, nothing more — but for physics nerds, it’s a promising one.
