Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Have you been looking to freshen up your trucks paint job with an original and modern livery? Look no further! Introducing the Super Stripes Paint Jobs Pack DLC, now available for Euro Truck Simulator 2.



These new unique and colourful designs have been hand-crafted by the talented artists here at SCS Software and chosen for their stylish look. This new pack includes six new paint jobs, which will be available for all current truck models and standard chassis options in ETS2. So how do they look? Here's your first preview of these new designs:


This will also be the very first paint job pack to feature predefined colour presets alongside a fully customizable colour palette, giving you, the driver, a wider array of options when customising your truck in the upgrade shop. Each of these colour presets have been created by our artists to suggest several alternate color combinations in addition to the default one upon choosing the paint job. 


We've been working on the colour presets feature for some time and we thought that there is no better way to introduce it than with the release of this new paint jobs pack. These new designs are among the first that can benefit from this new feature, offering having multiple predefined variations.



Since we didn't want to make this new feature exclusive to DLC owners, we have also created a few more colour presets for some of our existing base game paint jobs as well. We plan to add more of these colour presets to upcoming or already released paint jobs in the future.

We can't wait for you to get on the road and get creative with these new paint jobs. Be sure to share with us your first ride on the road, with the Super Stripes Paint Job Pack in ETS2, on our social media channels with the hashtag #SuperStripesDLC .

Sound plays an incredibly important role in our simulator titles, especially in making the in-game world feel alive. With the implementation of  F-MOD, we have been adding new sounds to ETS2 & ATS with each new update to make the most of this powerful sound engine. However, some of the ambient sounds we have previously implemented in-game have become a bit dated.


So how do we bring new sounds to our games? By sending out our sound experts out into real-world of course! Recently two members of our team, Matej & Irenej, travelled to Spain & Portugal for the main purpose of recording new sounds for the upcoming ETS2 DLC release of Iberia. These new sound recordings will also be used in some areas to refresh older sounds used currently in our sim and used for upcoming future DLCs too.


So where exactly have they been and what have they recorded? We won't spoil everything in this update, but here is just a small glimpse of what our team of two have been upto.


Some of the locations visited include busy sea ports, cities, highways and rest stops to bring new and fresh sounds to their virtual in-game counterparts. They also visited near some of the more commonly found industries to capture some of the ambiances and sounds that these workplaces produce, some of these locations included power plants and local farms.


Just as important as capturing the sounds of the cities and industries are the sounds of nature. From the suttle sound of wind through the valleys to the tweeting of birds, these sounds play an important role in immersing players in their virtual surroundings.


The little details all make a difference and we cannot wait to implement these newly recorded sounds into our simulators in the future. We hope you enjoyed this brief update on the development of our current trucking titles and we look forward to sharing more with you in the near future! And don't worry, both Matej & Irenej have returned healthy, safe, and went through negative covid19 tests!

Iberia is enormous, measuring at over 580,000 square kilometers, truckers have a seemingly endless amount of road to drive on. Through mountains, cities, and forests, drivers often seek refuge from the sun and take the time to rest for the journey ahead at suitable rest areas and designated gas stations designed for truck drivers.



With Iberia being one of the leading logistic capitals of Europe, truck stops have become commonplace across the countries of Spain and Portugal. Our map and assets teams have paid special attention to the creation of gas stations and truck stops in our upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2.


A large majority of these gas stations have been handmade with new prefabs and assets which can be placed by our map team manually. This allows our teams to create a variety of designs that can be crafted to match their real-life counterparts as closely as possible. These rest stops also will feature other AI drivers who will pull up for fuel and for a much-needed rest in the parking area.


From small country gas stations to large highway truck stops, drivers can relax knowing the next stop isn't too far away. While you are filling up, be sure to take a moment to add Iberia to your Steam Wishlist! It really helps support us and notifies you of its release in the future, thank you.

Lisbon is a historical city where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15°C. Featuring coastal views, great food, and more, it's no wonder millions of tourists visit the capital of Portugal each year.





Today, we are excited to share with you a gallery of work in progress screenshots from this important city which will be featured in our upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. As one of the few European capitals with a river and coastline, the city has a rich history of industrial maritime history.



Lisbon also holds the title of one of the oldest cities in Western Europe; in fact, only Athens is the only other city in Europe that is estimated to be older. So what can truckers expect to see when driving in Lisbon?



Well, we don't want to spoil it too much, but with a variety of industries such as shipyards and factories, there will be plenty of outgoing and incoming deliveries to be made. Drivers will also drive near some of the well-known landmarks, including 2 bridges that will connect travelers across the Tagus River.



So with sunshine, stunning views, and deliveries to be made, we are sure Lisbon will be one of the top of destinations on your list to visit when Iberia releases.

If you haven't already, be sure to add Iberia to Steam Wishlist! It really helps supports us and notifies you of its release in the future. You can also find a few exclusive content not found on this blog across our social media channels, so be sure to look out for them on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The Iberian Peninsula is the second largest European peninsula by area; with an estimated 53 million residents, the demand for electricity is more than ever before. So what are Spain and Portugal doing to make sure that there is enough energy for everyone? One of the many ways they are achieving this is by using modern energy sources instead of using traditional ones such as coal to generate electricity.



One of the more popular modern energy sources are solar panels, which uses the sun's energy (which Iberia has plenty of) as way of creating electricity. Today, solar panels have become common place across a lot of towns and cities, but are most effective when large amounts of them are used together on a solar farm. These areas covered by thousands of solar panels provide a sizeable chunk of Spain and Portugal electricity.



Another source of energy typical for the Iberian Peninsula is from wind captured at turbine farms found on hilltops, in valleys, and even offshore. These powerful wind turbines can produce enough electricity to power around 1,500 homes each!



There are of course also other sources generating electricity to meet all of Iberia's demand and we are working hard to represent this important industry in the upcoming Iberia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, which will include new prefabs such as the abovementioned solar power plants found across the peninsula.



If you are a big fan of what you see, please consider adding Iberia to your Steam Wishlist! It really does help us and we thank you for your on-going support.
