German Truck Simulator (GTS) is a truck simulator game developed and published by SCS Software that was released on January 13, 2010. It's a truck simulator game focusing in Germany (and, with a later expansion added in Austria).

Summary

In German Truck Simulator, the trucker must choose a "starting point" city to start his / her career (the choices are preset in-game, see "Cities" section below), and assumes the role of a virtual haulage company employee. By transporting cargo (up to 60 different types), the player can visit 18 major German cities. Ultimately, players have the option to purchase their own truck, and drive as an independent driver, choosing their cargo and delivery locations.

An expansion, Edition Austria, was released in August 2010. 4 cities in Austria were added to the game, with two of them available as starting points.
