In American Truck Simulator, Long Combination Vehicles (LCV), or simply Doubles, are configurations of trailers requiring two or more trailers to be added to the truck to lengthen the size of the load and challenge the driver's skills. These types of trailers were announced on May 5, 2017[1], and were added in update 1.28.[2][3]
