#ImTheBoss Contest Wrap Up

We asked you to get creative and get snapping with THE BOSS Edition paint job for the Renault Range Truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and disappoint you did not! 



With 4 cool scaled models up for grabs from our friends over at Renault Trucks, you flooded both our and Renault Trucks' social media channels with photos of THE BOSS Edition paint job in action. From pulling heavy loads to taking a leisurely cruise down a country lane, you showed off your new paint job in style; just take a look at the amount of hype you generated on social media! 



With over 2500 submissions made using the hashtag #ImTheBoss across our social media profiles (Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook combined), it would be extremely hard to pick just 4 winners, as from what we've seen so far, pretty much all of the entries are amazing! Hence, we've decided to pick the 4 lucky winners randomly from the list of all by using this special website.

A BIG congratulations to our 4 chosen winners, each of whom will receive a scale model of the Renault Range T High with THE BOSS Edition paint job! And as a small surprise from our side, we've decided to spice-up the reward a little bit by adding a promise of a Steam key for Iberia DLC after it's released! We hope that you will feel like a real boss now.



To everyone who took part in this creative contest, thank you! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We look forward to potentially bringing you some more exclusive contests and content in the future with Renault Trucks, as they too were amazed by the effort our #BestCommunityEver provided, and the attention you guys and gals brought/will bring to their vehicles and brand. Watch this space ;) 



We'd love to host similar competitions in the future, so if you happen to brainstorm any ideas for a future contest, let us know in the blog comments below, we'd love to hear it!

Iberia: Fruit, Crops & Farms

The growing of fresh fruit and vegetables is an important industry for Spain and Portugal, so much so that both countries are among some of the largest producers and exporters in Europe. From oranges to avocados, Iberia provides the ideal growing conditions and space for farms to grow a wide variety of crops, fruits, and vegetables. 



In our upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, drivers will have the opportunity to transport and deliver a variety of equipment and produce within this important industry sector across Spain and Portugal. 



Iberia will also feature newly created prefabs to represent the wide variety of different farms that can be found in Iberia including large commercial farms and vineyards. However, there is one type of farm that may catch your eye on your travels.



Found largely concentrated in the south-east of Spain, are areas of farmland largely covered by white plastic greenhouses. This type of intensive farming has become increasingly popular across Iberia, as farmers can create ideal growing conditions in otherwise very dry and hot areas of the peninsula to grow vegetables and fruit.



We hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at this important industry in Iberia and we look forward to sharing even more images and development updates in the near future. ¿Estás emocionado por Iberia?

#ImTheBoss Contest

Today we're happy to bring you something new, cool, fun, rewarding, and entertaining together in cooperation with our friends over at Renault Trucks! After a very successful and impressive Trucks World Cup 2020 contest, we've been thinking if we can create something similar and reward our #BestCommunityEver once again!

You might have noticed that a few moments ago, your Steam client started downloading a small update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. And with it comes something special and new; a brand new paint job for the Renault Range T truck - THE BOSS Edition



It's beautiful, right? Initially, Renault Trucks planned to use this paint job as a special and exclusive 2020 paint for their trucks in the real world, but due to all the difficulties that covid19 has brought they were not able to make this idea happen. So together we decided to honor this piece of amazing art at least in the way of adding it for the community of Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Consider it a nice gift from Renault Trucks. It's also a small proof that when our fanbase shows some love and attention to a big brand like Renault Trucks on social media, they usually like it a lot! There are real fruits of labor for your passion for our games. It always helps us a lot in communications/negotiations when companies in the automotive industry see the strength of our games' community.



But getting this amazing piece of art for free is not all! Our friends from Renault Trucks are also ready to send 4 cool scaled models to four lucky winners, who will be randomly picked on various social media platforms. What do you have to do to get a chance to be one of them?



It's super easy. Just get this new paint job, and apply it to your mighty Renault Trucks Range T in ETS2, and take a nice screenshot of it. Then, upload it to at least one of the social media platforms we use (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) under the #ImTheBoss hashtag, alongside tagging our
(Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and Renault Trucks' profiles (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).



Screenshots can be taken from anywhere in the game you want, it can be with or without a trailer, tuned up or not. There are no limits or requirements, except for those written above. Plus make sure you do so by the 12th of October 2020, 23:59 CEST as we will pick the winners shortly after! We can't wait to see all your amazing entries! Be creative!

Euro Truck Simulator 2: City of Calais Reskin

We are always excited to show our community what changes and updates we are currently working on. Today we are focusing on one of the more noticeable changes that drivers in Europe can expect to see in the next 1.39 update.



Introducing the port of Calais, the fourth-largest port in France and the busiest for passenger traffic. Its industry accounts for more than a third of economic activity in the local area. From transporting goods to holidaymakers seeking sunshine, it serves as an important gateway between the United Kingdom and France.



As many of you may know, Calais is one of our base game cities which was released with Euro Truck Simulator 2. As such, a dedicated part of our map team has taken time to give the city and port a major reskin, giving it a fresh and up-to-date look for the next update. So what exactly has been changed? Let's take a closer look!



The biggest change you will notice is how the port is now represented in-game. In reality, Calais port is huge and so our map team has worked hard to best reflect that reality within the confines of our map scale. This newly recreated port will feature new assets including gates, terminals, ramps for ferries, and fences.



The entrance to the port has also received a major change; as well as the road leading to the port where previously a simple roundabout was located, it has now been updated to a larger custom-made roundabout with an overhead road crossing. This isn't the only change to the road networks, however.



Surrounding roads and highways that connect the port and the city will correspond more correctly to reality now, which includes more realistic highway exits. While the actual city of Calais will have a similar layout, it will be given a new look with updated terrain textures, road textures, new vegetation, and more. You will also find that quite a few of the industrial buildings have also been replaced with newer assets.



While many of the major changes are quite obvious from these pictures, we will leave the rest for you to explore and find what other smaller changes have been made. We look forward to sharing more with you on what is to come in 1.39. Watch this blog and keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest news and announcements.

Iberia: Barcelona

With mountains on one side, the sea on the other, and an exciting urban hub in between, Barcelona offers so much to experience for tourists and residents alike; and the same goes for truckers too! Offering drivers sunshine, scenic views, and a large variety of industries to deliver to and from, this city seems to have it all. 



Attracting around 9.5 millions visitors in 2019, Barcelona never fails to impress with its rich history, which is visible in the surrounding architecture and culture. Truckers heading in to the city, in our upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, can expect a wide array of industries to accept job contracts from; including car factories, glass factories, truck dealerships, and even the local airport. 


We are sure that you will find yourself returning to the city of Barcelona frequently as you explore and discover its famous landmarks and hidden gems around the city. For the most authentic experience, we highly recommend cooking up a fresh plate of paella before your journey across Iberia. 


We hope you enjoyed taking your first look at Barcelona and we look forward to sharing even more images and development updates from this beautiful part of the world. ¿Estás emocionado por Iberia? You can help support the release of this upcoming DLC by adding it to your Steam Wishlist!
