All vehicle upgrades

Seven regular upgrades and an Epic module permanently change a single vehicle for the running run, each installation consuming its only upgrade slot.

Include an upgrade

The target selection is part of the map decision, and an upgrade only affects the selected vehicle.

  • Select the offered upgrade card during preparation for the following day.
  • Choose a compatible fleet vehicle without an individual upgrade already installed.
  • Check price, effect and follow-up costs in the selection. A occupied space prevents the installation even with sufficient credits.
  • Confirm the decision. The vehicle profile will be updated immediately and the upgrade will be considered again on subsequent days.
  • Note the permanent binding: In the regular process, there is no exchange, removal or second installation on the same vehicle.

The five standard power upgrades can be reappeared in later offers and installed on other free vehicles. Refrigeration unit and Fragile fuse are each a one-time card choice per run. The Universal Transport Module is also unique and counts as an epic.

The earliest target day refers to the day for which the preparation is made: an upgrade from target day 2 can be offered after day 1.

Refrigeration units and Fragile fuses do not change normal parcel spaces, speed and ownership costs, and their additional revenue comes from special orders, not as a flat 20% bonus on all deliveries.

These values show the effect without additional starting or strategy capacity.

Motorcycle spaces carry only small one-packet orders in each line; for the other types, a large order occupies two seats each.

Active capacity rules can additionally change the available capacity for the day. The final vehicle display is relevant for the current planning.

Which upgrade is worthwhile?

Choose based on the bottleneck of your specific tour and the remaining days.

UpgradeApplies if...Check before installation
Additional luggage carrierRegularly two package places are missing, but the tour has enough time reserve.Two additional places are not enough for any number of stops; speed loss and daily additional costs remain.
Eco-tyresThe vehicle travels for many days.The 30% concerns the cost of kilometres, and the additional 5 CR per day of operation and 10% less speed have to be taken into account.
Express tuningTravel time is the decisive cause of endangered deadlines.Twenty per cent faster will mean about 16.7 per cent less travel time on the same route, but not 20 per cent less total tour time.
Service expansionMany stops or large loads generate a high percentage of service.Normal small stops then take 5.76–11.52 minutes, big 11.52–23.04; other effects can change that.
Motorcycle trailersMany small shipments exceed the four-way capacity of the motorcycle.Seven places, but only small orders; the basic speed value decreases from 75 to 63.75 km/h.
Refrigeration unit/Fragile fuseYou want to cover suitable special orders reliably from day 4.Choose a car with a reasonable load and range, and the ability increases your fleet’s demand options.
Universal transport moduleA single wagon should cover both special requirements.The two lost places and +15 CR daily possession value; no more epic in the run.

Example of eco-tyres: a standard transporter pays only 17.50 CR per kilometre instead of 25 without further effects. At 10 km, it saves 75 CR distance costs, but has 5 CR higher ownership costs on this day of use.

Without a different rule, for example, +10 CR daily possession base of a luggage carrier becomes a surcharge of +40 CR for a completely unused day.

Reserve special places in time

The two free special upgrades can become available from day 3 preparation; regular special demand starts from day 4.

Refrigeration unit and Fragile backup are specifically considered in the regular offer as long as you have not yet selected the respective card. A newly drawn offer does not follow the same fixed protection.

Don't prematurely install performance upgrades on all vehicles; you can't install a free special card without a free slot; if you want to cover refrigeration and fragility orders on two vehicles, keep two suitable seats.

The 20 % bonus is part of the remuneration of a special order marked accordingly; the vehicle with the universal module does not receive a double reward for an ordinary order and no additional flat-rate bonus on normal deliveries.

Can I combine the refrigeration unit with Eco-tyres?

Not as two individual upgrades on the same vehicle; there is a single permanent upgrade slot; fleet-wide launch and strategy effects can work alongside an individual upgrade.

Does Express Tuning also apply for service time?

It speeds up the journey but increases service time by 10%, increases mileage costs by 5% and increases daily ownership costs by 20 CR.

Does service expansion cost less and less time?

Its factor is 0.72 on the effective servicing calculation of the vehicle; it does not change the speed of the vehicle; other active effects may change the initial servicing time.

Can I install an upgrade on a newly purchased vehicle?

A vehicle in your fleet can become the target of a suitable upgrade decision at a later date if it has space available, and a single ticket choice does not buy a vehicle and another regular upgrade at the same time.

Why is the free upgrade blocked?

A compatible vehicle with free upgrade space and card availability are still required.

Can I choose another epic after the universal module?

No. The module is an epic card and consumes the only epic choice per run, although it is installed directly on a vehicle.
