    This would take months and months of work, as the MAN TGS mod showed. That mod is really high quality, but the thread has existed since 2018 and the public version of the mod was uploaded in mid-2020?

    And, no, you couldn't just "Tak the jbeam of the T-series and slap it on a Volvo model."
    It would take months to do the jbeam/modelling/torqueCurve right.
    There are literally 5 CABS, and all of them would have to be modelled, jbeamed and so on.
    Plus tons of parts (engines, gearboxes, differentials, fog lights, fairings, etc, etc) and safety features which modern trucks like these feature. ABS, different types of traction control and automatic braking systems.
    So no, probably no one is making a Volvo VNL anytime soon.
    Where I got my info from: https://www.volvotrucks.us/trucks/build/
    BUT, this dead thread exists: https://www.beamng.com/threads/2017-volvo-vnl-pack.13332/#post-208773

    Sorry, this is not meant to be offensive in any way. As an ATS and ETS player (ATS has a Volvo VNR btw) I would love to see this kind of a mod.

    No. You don’t just hit a button and it’s done.

    That thing is long since abandoned.
