Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

[p]Today, we’re excited to share one of the projects we’ve been working on for the upcoming 1.57 update. A small part of our Vehicles team has been reworking the selectable company logos that you can choose when first creating your driver profile, along with the matching company paint jobs available for your truck and trailer. Let’s take a closer look at the designs and the work involved![/p][p][/p][p]

Matej and Tomáš from our Vehicles Team have been at the forefront of this project, bringing new designs to life. We asked them a few questions to learn about this project. Matej explained how the idea first came about “The idea basically came from our shared vision of reworking the UI and various elements that we’ve been updating over the last few patches. So, we decided to get involved and created more modern company logos, which will be available in both ATS and ETS2, as well as matching company paintjobs for trucks and trailers, which are coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in this update.”[/p][p]



Once the concept was agreed upon, work began on reimagining the logos and the corresponding paint jobs. This was no small task, and required careful collaboration between different members of the team. “We’ve been working on the new logos and the paintjobs for several months, mainly as a duo with my good colleague and friend, Tomáš V” Matej continues. “Together with our whole paintjob department, we wanted to make sure every single paintjob fits as best as possible with the specific shapes of different truck cabins, paintable accessories and box trailers, doubles, tankers, or dumpers.”

The design vision behind this refresh was rooted in both modernisation and preservation. Tomáš shared more about their approach: “Since the existing paintjobs have been available to our players since 2016, our main goal was definitely to make them more modern and realistic. At the same time, we felt it was important not to change the overall look of the paintjobs and logos too much from the originals. We really wanted players to still feel a sense of nostalgia and connection in our modern reinterpretation.”[/p][p][/p][p]
Alongside the visual improvements, the update also introduces more flexibility for player customisation. “We also wanted to give players more customization options, so all our new paintjobs now come with the option to use the RGB colour picker” Matej adds. “This gives every player the choice to either set their own preferred colours or choose from our pre-selected preset combinations.”

We’re excited for you to experience the refreshed company logos and paintjobs when version 1.57 rolls out. Whether you’re starting a brand-new profile or giving your current company a fresh new look, we think you’ll enjoy the modernised designs while still recognising their classic charm.


Matej leaves us with one last hint for our community “Our American Truck Simulator players haven’t been forgotten, they can look forward to an update in the future too!” We hope you enjoy the design of these reworked company logos and paint jobs, planned to arrive with the 1.57 update.

Ideal podcast game and source of all my lorry knowledge Euro Truck Simulator 2 is expanding its map to Ireland in the future, devs SCS Software have revealed. The DLC, dubbed Isle of Ireland, will include both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as fresh trucking locales.

It's another entry in the list of add-ons in the works for Euro Truck Sim 2, which also includes a Nordic map expansion, coaches, and a number of reworks to existing areas. The latter includes a UK revamp announced just the other week, which should ensure that driving from Birmingham to Belfast shouldn't resemble a voyage from 2013 to 5.

[p]Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new upcoming map expansion coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2! May the road rise up to meet you as our teams set out to bring this long-awaited expansion to life behind the wheel. From lively cities to winding country lanes, we are thrilled to announce... [/p][h2]The Isle Ireland for Euro Truck Simulator 2
[/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Carved by rugged coastlines, endless green pastures, and a history that stretches back thousands of years, Ireland is a place where every road feels like a story waiting to be told. In this upcoming expansion, you will be able to explore both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, each offering its own distinct landscapes and atmosphere.


Drivers will be able to tackle narrow routes lined with stone walls and hedgerows, travel on untamed coastal stretches battered by the Atlantic winds, and roll through small villages and towns steeped in charm and tradition. From the energetic streets of Dublin and Belfast to the peaceful rhythm of the countryside, making a delivery without pausing to admire the view will be a challenge in itself!


Along the way, you’ll encounter some of Ireland’s most recognisable landmarks including the Rock of Cashel rising proudly above the Golden Vale, the dramatic slopes of Ben Bulben overlooking Sligo, the unmistakable Samson and Goliath cranes dominating Belfast’s skyline, and of course the world-famous basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Haul through farmland, cross windswept landscapes where folklore feels close at hand, and navigate into vibrant city centres where modern life and centuries of history stand side by side. Ferry ports such as Rosslare will also play an important role, opening the way to connections across the Irish Sea and beyond.[/p][p]We can't wait to show you more as development continues, but please keep in mind, that everything shown so far is still very much a work in progress, with more details and previews to come as development continues.[/p][p][/p][p]
We hope this first glimpse of Ireland has sparked your excitement! Don’t forget to add the expansion to your Steam Wishlist, it really helps us along the way and ensures you won’t miss the release. Until then, we look forward to sharing more from the roads where céad míle fáilte, awaits every driver.

[p]We have some exciting news for our European truckers! The dynamic loading and unloading feature is coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 for the very first time with the upcoming 1.57 update. Let's take a closer look at what's in store for you![/p][p][/p][p]We first introduced this feature for American Truck Simulator, and now we're excited to bring it to ETS2 as well. It will debut at selected custom and prefab depots in the upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, and will also be added to all suitable prefab depots across the base map and map DLCs, plus one custom depot in Greece - so everyone can experience it![/p][p][/p][p]For now, this feature will be available for logger trailers. Drivers using an ownable logger trailer, delivering Logs, Large Tubes, or Iron Pipes, will be able to experience loading and unloading their cargo with the help of a material handler equipped with various attachments or a crawler excavator. Once you arrive at the designated area and position your trailer correctly, the loading process will begin automatically with the cargo you're hauling.[/p][p][/p][p]Once loading is complete, your GPS will automatically update with your destination. When you arrive at the depot, simply select the "Where do you need it?" option and head to the unloading point, where your trailer will be emptied. [/p][p][/p][p]Across prefab depots in the base map and in currently released map expansions, you'll be able to experience this feature at several sawmills, construction sites, material stores, steelworks factories, and more. For custom-made depots, it will be available at a number of timber harvest depots in the upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, as well as at one custom shipyard depot in Athens, Greece. We plan to expand this feature in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you will enjoy this new feature in ETS2 once it is released in the 1.57 update. Until then, stay tuned for more updates from this map expansion by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube, or by signing up for our newsletter. We will see you on the road![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
