What this mod does

50 New Hazmat Cargo is a mod by ArcticBora that adds 50 hazardous loads to American Truck Simulator, spread across the existing classes. The base game has 24. It has over 22,000 subscribers.

Some of the new loads

  • Class 1: ammunition, black powder, explosives and liquid propellant.
  • Class 2: acetylene, helium, liquid hydrogen, cryogenic neon and xenon.
  • Class 3: acetone, benzene, kerosene and naphtha.
  • Class 4: lithium, sodium, white phosphorus and zinc powder.
  • Class 6: arsenic, potassium cyanide, vaccines and virus samples.
  • Class 8: lead-acid batteries, nitric acid, formaldehyde and hydrazine.

Details

The best-paying ones are vaccines, virus samples, hydrazine, neon, krypton and xenon. Each load has its own icon. Chemical plants accept all of them; airports, ports, mines, oil companies, gas stations and farms get the ones that fit their business. The mod removes non-hazardous cargo from the Chemso, Syntetico, Epro and Gastream chemical companies.

Installation and version

You need to reset the cargo market: briefly add or remove a map, sleep to skip time or use the console. The author tested it on 1.60 and updated it on September 2, 2026. Players are already asking for 1.61. One player says the lithium never made it to the container ship.
