: Introduced to support specialised hauling and lower-profile setups.
In the evolving landscape of truck simulation, the 1.46 update for SCS Software titles marks a significant leap in technical realism and customization. Central to this update is the refined interaction between a truck's chassis and its powertrain, most notably through the introduction of . This feature fundamentally changes how players perceive vehicle physics, as high-torque acceleration now causes a visible "twist" or "rocking" of the truck's frame, adding a layer of mechanical authenticity previously missing from the core experience.

: Transforming standard tractor units into fixed-bed trucks. This effect is particularly pronounced on the longer
The update's primary technical achievement is the optional driveshaft torque setting , which simulates the spinning forces acting upon the chassis during acceleration. This effect is particularly pronounced on the longer frames typical of American trucks, where the front left wheel may slightly lift under heavy load. Beyond physics, version 1.46 expanded official chassis options to include: CHASSIS FOR SCS TRUCKS 1.46
