1.49 Update - Used Truck Dealers

Among other changes coming for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator in the 1.49 update, there will be a fairly big feature that will bring a few tweaks that are important to the immersion of the virtual trucking experience. Today, we’ll showcase the Used Truck Dealers!


Used Trucks will be available immediately in the main menu taking you to a selection of trucks that are more budget-friendly compared to brand new vehicles. However, these used trucks come with some mileage and wear, which is indicated by their star rating and a separate window that provides a detailed breakdown of the damage to various parts.

This feature provides an excellent opportunity for players to own a truck without breaking the bank. It's particularly ideal for newcomers who want to hit the road without a hefty investment, while it also adds an extra layer of challenge for experienced players.


One of the most significant changes coming along with this feature is the enhanced damage and repair system. In the past, individual parts would accumulate damage, represented as a percentage, and you could repair them. However, with the 1.49 update, parts will be categorized into three types of damage:

Damage: This type of damage can be fixed by standard repairs, just as before.
Parts Wear: For components showing wear and tear, you'll need to replace them.
Permanent Wear: Parts with permanent wear can only be restored by Total Restoration of the entire vehicle. This is a more expensive procedure, but it's the only way to bring your truck and trailer back to pristine condition.

With the improved damage system comes enhanced control over vehicle maintenance. You can now make informed choices about which parts to repair or replace based on your judgment. Alternatively, you have the option to seek professional advice for the best repair strategy for your truck or trailer.

We can’t wait for you to get your hands on this new feature and provide us with your feedback. For more information regarding when this update will be available make sure to give our social media a follow (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and stay in touch with all the latest news.

1.49 Update: HDR Skyboxes, Moon and New Weather Effects

In the 1.49 update for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, we're excited to introduce a range of enhancements that will further improve your virtual trucking experience. Let’s take a look at the visual additions that await you on your journeys.


First and foremost, after many requests, we've added the Moon to our night sky! It's a subtle but remarkable touch that adds an extra layer of realism and wonder to your virtual trucking adventures. Curiously, it's worth mentioning that what might appear as a simple addition – the Moon – has posed some significant challenges for some time. Integrating the Moon into the night sky has required casting, rendering, and calculating lunar light, managing reflections in water bodies, dealing with wet roads, and addressing mirror effects, among other things. However, we're delighted that we've finally been able to incorporate something as fundamental as the Moon into our in-game night sky.


In addition to that, we've also reimagined the night sky, introducing dynamic stars that gently twinkle, enhancing the overall authenticity of the night-time experience.


Finally, the skyboxes will now be High Dynamic Range (HDR), which means there will be richer, more vibrant colours in the skies and our weather visual effects have also received an upgrade. Thunderstorms now include visible lightning, offering a more immersive experience. And make sure to keep an eye on the night sky in certain regions, you might be pleasantly surprised with what you will notice.


To sum it all up, we’ve also prepared a special video for you showcasing all of these changes. It’s definitely worth checking out!

New Truck Spotted in ETS2

We have some news for you, #BestCommunityEver! An exciting development is on the horizon. A new, yet-to-be-named truck, has been spotted navigating the tight city roads with remarkable ease.


What makes it stand out? Well, it's a perfect fit for regional deliveries, yet it can take on longer highway stretches - a unique combination that has piqued our interest. This versatile truck seems to effortlessly master the challenges of liveable cities, smoothly manoeuvring through narrow streets and busy intersections. However, its capabilities extend beyond the city limits. Reports suggest that the same truck excels on the open highway, defying expectations with its adaptability to different terrains.

One noteworthy feature is the cabin, which looks to be exceptionally spacious and provides astounding direct vision. It surely provides a surprisingly roomy and relaxing environment for those extended journeys.


The anticipation surrounding this new arrival is building, and for good reason. Stay tuned for further updates as we unravel the mysteries behind this city-savvy, highway-ready marvel. Follow us on our social media channels: X/TwitterInstagramFacebookTikTok.
