Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

[p]We’re back with a new episode of our SCS On The Road series, and this time we’re taking you behind the scenes at the Renault Trucks Engine Plant in Lyon, France!
[/p][p][/p][p]During our visit to SOLUTRANS last year (a major transport and logistics expo), our friends at Renault Trucks kindly invited us on a special tour of their Engine Plant, which we’re excited to share with you today! Join Nemiro, our PR & Marketing Manager, and Patrice Berger-Perrin from Renault Trucks' Corporate Communications team as we begin with a visit to their historic museum, located in one of the company’s oldest buildings, designed and constructed in 1916. The museum showcases the rich timeline of Renault, highlighting the vehicles and innovations that have shaped the brand for over a century.

Following the museum visit, the tour continues into the heart of the production line, where we explore how Renault Truck engines (and others) are built, from the initial stages of assembly to the final quality checks. Along the way, Patrice shares valuable insights into the workforce, the assembly process, the structure of the production lines, and the technology used to create each and every engine.

[p]When we released our teaser titled “Next Stop: ETS2,” the community instantly understood what it signalled, and today we’re excited to confirm it. Project Coaches is now officially in development, marking the start of a brand-new driving experience within Euro Truck Simulator 2.


This new addition will offer players a whole new way to explore and work in the ETS2 world. Instead of hauling cargo, you’ll be stepping into the role of a coach driver. While we’re still early in the development process, many elements are still evolving behind the scenes.
[/p][p] [/p][p]We've already begun laying the foundation, from creating several coach models with characteristic handling to developing a network of bus terminals across the map (which many of you have noticed for a long time now). We're even reworking some older coach station prefabs from the ground up to better fit this new gameplay.
[/p][p][/p][p]If you're interested in learning more about how this idea came to life and where it's headed, we highly recommend watching our latest vidcast, featuring Pavel, Nemiro, Dominik, and Jarda as they discuss the project in more detail.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
And don’t worry, our work on trucks, map expansions, and the core ETS2 content isn’t going anywhere. A dedicated team is handling Project Coaches, allowing our ongoing development plans for the game to continue at full speed.
[/p][p][/p][p]
We’re really looking forward to showing you more as this project takes shape. It’s something we’ve wanted to explore for quite some time, and we hope it opens the door to new kinds of experiences within the ETS2 universe. [/p][p][/p][p]

[p]We know you might have been wondering where our next steps will lead to in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and now we are ready to reveal our plans! We are very excited to announce an upcoming map expansion, as our teams have already started to work on...[/p][h3]Iceland for Euro Truck Simulator 2[/h3][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Explore the Land of Fire and Ice! Iceland stands apart as one of the most extraordinary countries on Earth, an incredibly unique landscape with completely unmatched rugged nature. Despite covering just 103,000 km², this island nation offers an astonishing variety of natural wonders: towering volcanoes, vast glaciers, black sand beaches, thundering waterfalls, dramatic craters, and more, making it a dream location for visitors around the world. Now, you have the chance to experience it all from behind the wheel of your truck.[/p][p]Due to Iceland's unique geography, don't expect a dense web of highways or a bustling cluster of cities. Instead, prepare for an unforgettable journey through one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth.[/p][p][/p][p]This map expansion offers a scenic loop around Iceland, connecting a handful of charming cities and remote settlements, all nestled within a world shaped by fire and ice. Majestic mountains, endless plains, dramatic cliffs, volcanic fields, roaring rivers, and cascading waterfalls are all stunningly recreated by our map designers.[/p][p][/p][p]With its sweeping vistas and untouched natural beauty, this is a DLC like no other. Every kilometer captures the grandeur and authenticity of Iceland's raw, untamed environment. If you've ever wanted to feel the magnificence of nature from behind the wheel, this is your chance.[/p][p][/p][p]You can look forward to hauling cargo across the Hringvegur (“Ring Road”), which stretches for about 1,400 kilometres, forming a circle around the island. Besides other cities and settlements, one of this map expansion's highlights is the capital of Reykjavík, a city full of life, beaming with creativity, and surrounded by incredible nature.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope we have got you excited for another trucking adventure in ETS2! Remember to support us by adding the Iceland DLC to your Steam wishlist. Just keep in mind that everything you see here is still a work in progress.

You know how it is: you rush to the bus stop because you think you're going to miss it, then it arrives 12 years late. Typical. The makers of Euro Truck Simulator 2 have shown off a short trailer with a big shiny European coach in it. It confirms that the sim will add driveable buses in some form soon, fulfilling a long-forgotten tease that was first made by the developers back in the cloudy days of 2013.
