SCS Software has revealed a new content addition to American Truck Simulator and a continuation of its tie-in with US-based truck manufacturer Kenworth. To celebrate Kenworth’s 100th anniversary, a special Anniversary Edition of its W900 truck has been added to the sim.
Featuring a slick black and red retro-inspired livery, the standard Kenworth W900 is a conventional cab truck that costs around $220,000 to buy in the real world.
Kenworth originally began life as a car and truck dealership Gerlinger Motors, formed by brothers George and Lewis Gerlinger. It moved into truck manufacturing soon after, building the popular Gersix truck, which prompted the business’s name change to Gersix Motor Company.
The business was sold in 1917 and bought by E.K. Worthington and Captain Frederick Kent, who renamed the operation Kenworth in 1923 based on an amalgamation of their surnames. Expansion followed, and the brand remains strong today, diversifying into electric-powered trucks in recent years.

As well as adding a new limited-edition truck, SCS has also updated and upgraded the standard W900 in-game, adding new options, parts and accessories.
