Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

[p]Exciting news! With the upcoming 1.56 update, we will introduce new cargoes from the company CZ LOKO, a renowned manufacturer of locomotives, both to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 base game and also as part of the Special Transport DLC![/p][p][/p][p]We are very excited that we can welcome CZ LOKO to the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2, and we'd like to thank them for allowing us to bring their impressive locomotives into the game, giving players the chance to haul them across Europe in true trucking style![/p][p]In the base game, we will be adding the locomotives MUV 75 and EffiShunter 300. While these aren't the largest or heaviest machines you'll encounter, don't underestimate them - make sure your truck is well-prepared to handle the load. The MUV 75 tips the scales at over 14 tonnes, while the EffiShunter 300 weighs in at a hefty 36 tonnes.[/p][p][/p][p]The Special Transport already features oversized cargoes such as the Articulated Hauler, Large Reservoir Tank, Giant Silo, and many more. Now, the roster is expanding with a true heavyweight - the EffiShunter 1000, a massive locomotive built by CZ LOKO.[/p][p][/p][p]Truckers will haul this behemoth on a lowbed trailer. Just how big is it? The total height (including the trailer) reaches an impressive 5.3 metres, with a length of 16 metres and a width of 3.1 metres. Navigating corners with the EffiShunter 1000 in tow will demand precision and nerves of steel.[/p][p]Your truck will need a powerful engine for this job - the locomotive alone weighs 80 tonnes, plus another 10 tonnes for the trailer. That's 90 tonnes of pure challenge rolling behind you.[/p][p]You'll be able to deliver the EffiShunter 1000 along three routes: Berlin to Szczecin, Kassel to Hamburg, and Bremen to Travemünde. Each journey will be escorted by two escort vehicles to help ensure a safe trip from departure to delivery. Still, it's up to you to avoid any mishaps - and to keep this stunning locomotive free from so much as a scratch.[/p][p][/p][p]Although the EffiShunter 300 and EffiShunter 1000 are inspired by real locomotive models, we recreated them based on CZ LOKO's design concept to reflect the company's vision for the future. This means you'll get to transport machines that haven’t even entered real-world production yet![/p][p]Remember that if you want to haul this beauty of a cargo, you will need to own the Special Transport DLC. Don't have it yet? You can grab it anytime on Steam and gain access to a whole range of oversized loads. And when the 1.56 update rolls out, the EffiShunter 1000 will be added to the DLC for free. [/p][p]Don't forget to give our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok a follow as you'll receive updates about our games straight to your feed, or subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed!

[p]With the release of update 1.56, we are pleased to reveal an exciting addition to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Schmitz Cargobull Trailer Pack. Our collaboration with Schmitz Cargobull continues to grow, and this update introduces new trailer types and features that expand your hauling experience.[/p][p][/p][p]The highlight of this update is the Schmitz S.CS High Capacity Transport (HCT). This configuration features two trailers connected with a dolly. Schmitz Cargobull now becomes the second brand in Euro Truck Simulator 2 to feature a 32 m HCT trailer setup.[/p][p][/p][p]Also arriving in this update is the Schmitz S.KO City chassis, equipped with a steering axle, which provides greater manoeuvrability in tighter spaces. While this feature is primarily aimed at navigating urban environments, in Euro Truck Simulator 2, you are free to take it anywhere you like. Whether threading through narrow streets or tackling longer journeys, this new option adds variety and flexibility to your trailer fleet.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to these trailer configurations, we’re also introducing new lighting options across Schmitz Cargobull S.CS, S.KO, S.BO, and S.KI trailers. These lights proudly display the Schmitz Cargobull logo, adding an extra layer of authenticity to your setup.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve got plenty more to share as update 1.56 gets closer, so keep an eye out for the latest reveals.

[p]Recently, we had the exciting opportunity to be a part of the Find Your Next Game online showcase, a digital event that runs alongside Gamescom which highlights upcoming titles and projects across the gaming industry. We imagine some of you may have caught our special feature there, but just in case you didn't, let us share with you more about it![/p][p]
This year, we are proud to have our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 selected to be part of this year’s FYNG lineup! One of the conditions on being part of this digital showcase is that all featured video content has to be exclusive to the show and not seen before on any other platforms. So, our talented video team got to work and created a fresh, extended trailer made especially for this showcase, offering viewers a glimpse of the stunning roads, cities, towns, landscapes, landmarks, and industries that await you in this upcoming expansion.[/p][p][/p][p]Now that the show has concluded, we are happy to release the trailer publicly, which you can now watch on our official SCS Software YouTube channel. Take a watch of it below, and if you enjoyed it, make sure to leave a like, and comment! It really helps support our channel and future releases.

We’d like to thank the Find Your Next Game team for featuring us in this year’s event and for providing a platform where we could share this new content with a wider audience. We’re looking forward to showing you even more from Nordic Horizons in the near future. If you like what you see, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist. We'd like to thank you all for your support so far, and until next time, keep on truckin'!
