    For a period all motors were painted how the truck manufacturer wanted.

    American truck simulator is a popular game that was modeled after the Euro Truck Simulator. The main distinguishing feature between these two trucking games is the design of the vehicles. It is apparent that there is a significant difference between the styling of the trucks between the two subcontinents. One thing you will notice however is that American buses are very similar to European trucks in the sense that the driver sits up front close to the windshield.
