For the actual company name with regards to transportation well you got me

Apologies for the wrong info what I mean is Sanbuilders replaced with MacAlpine ,Cubbitts etc. , suspect that these are no longer functional there might not be a backlash of copyright etc.
I realize that most of the companies I remember are probably some that were around before most the people here were born

Here is a list of our initial ideas for companies to make it easier to understand:

[tkk7406]

I;m thinking maybe a food producer could be Nestle (as mentioned by someone else previously). Ika can be IKEA (although that's starting to get common), Polaris Lines can be Stena Lines (I think that was also mentioned somewhere), Norrfood could be REMA 1000 or Coop Norden (and generally if you want supermarkets, this might come in handy.

[KubaJAM]

IKA will not turn into IKEA because it would be too common.

[Ostpuff]

IRL there's an IKEA in every city represented in the DLC except for Karlskrona.
I really think it should be IKEA even though there are a lot of those stores on the map. It was meant to be IKEA and I think it should be that way.
I understand what you are saying but it isn't unrealistic. Those IKEA stores do actually exist, and most of them are even placed geographically accurate.

Just my opinion but you can't just skip IKEA in a map that covers Sweden.

All the other companies sound good, Norrfood could be something like Coop or ICA, and Sag & Tre could be Stora Enso.

+1 on that. Ikea is basically Sweden's trademark for a lot of people. And the prefab really looks like an Ikea store. In fact, I was thinking you would say that you would turn IKA into IKEA and try to see if it could replace the other Ikeas already available in Promods. Plus, that model is amazing and I think it can be used as Ikea in most of the areas currently in development. It is way more common than Bauhaus stores in most of European countries, after all.

And as for the car rental service: Sixt? I think you have more than enough German companies in that mod. Europcar is the first car rental service in Europe, FYI.

Or Avis
In the Nordic I have always used Avis for car rental

- Furthermore, still regarding transportation, you said you didn't want to add UPS or Fedex because it's EURO Truck Simulator 2. I agree with you on that point: you want to replace the default companies by the ones we find in Europe. So in that case, you have to admit that we find these two everywhere in Europe - maybe with a small advantage to UPS. Deciding to boycott UPS because it's an American company is like not wanting to implement McDonald's restaurants in a "Euro Fast Food Simulator" game. This doesn't make any sense. If the main transport company in Europe was Chinese or Brazilian, would you do the same thing? However, as I said, there are many transportation companies in Europe so it's not really a big deal. The reason you gave was just a little weird to me, that's all.

Im not sure, but UPS is for me a transportation service which delivers smaller packages directly to the persons, and not a Transportation Company which transports bigger Stuff to other Companys.
At least for me that would be a main reason for not using UPS.

[plykkegaard]

UPS transport parcels across borders to their own logistic centers
Like eg FedEx, GLS, DHL, Postnord etc
