Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Yesterday we released the 1.45 Open Beta for American Truck Simulator and you have probably noticed that among numerous other changes, there is a massive and long-awaited addition coming to the selection of purchasable trailers - ownable cisterns! Let’s take a more detailed look at this trailer type, which will also be arriving in the 1.45 update for ETS2 as well.



For now, we will be adding two different types of cistern trailers into our games - Fuel Cisterns and Silos (Dry Bulk trailer). Both types will have different customizations and use. And don’t worry, we plan on bringing more versions of this trailer to you in the future!

The fuel cisterns in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be used for the transportation of combustible liquids. The ATS version will offer 6 connection types (Single, Double, B-double, Rocky Mountain Double, Turnpike Double, Triple) and 2 different customizable body types (Single drain pipe, 4-way drain pipes), while ETS2 side will have a single connection and single body type (Classic). Here is a detailed combined list of available customizations

• Chassis type
  
• Paint jobs
  
• Front Mudflaps
  
• Markers
  
• Left, right, rear, front body
  
• Rear fenders
  
• Rear bumper
  
• Rear mudflaps
  

In regards to silos, in ATS and ETS2 you will be able to deliver a number of bulk materials with them, for example, sand, concrete, or grain. ATS will have 5 connection types (Single, Double, B-double, Rocky mountain double, turnpike double) and a single body type (Classic), while ETS2 will include a selection of 4 connection types (Single, Double, B-double, HCT) and a single body type (Default). The combined list of customizations:

• Chassis type
  
• Paint jobs

We are incredibly excited to see you hauling these new cistern trailers in your company and how you will customize them!

Since the release of the reworked Austria and California, many of you have been wondering what the next step will be for the teams responsible for bringing in-game areas up to the current, and more realistic, standards. Today, we can reveal that we are working on giving the city of Hannover a fresh look, which we are planning on adding to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in the 1.45 update!



Similar to Austria, we have more-or-less deleted the entire city and started from scratch. The city circle has been moved, although we have also done our best to keep as much from it as possible. That’s not the case with the city center and southern part, however, as these areas now feature a completely different layout with a new economy, which actually consists of some unique depots in the world of ETS2.



One of the most unique areas arriving in this rework will be the very famous Hannover Messe - one of the world’s largest trade halls and also one of our biggest challenges due to the fact that the part that we are adding is almost in a 1:1 scale. Dedicated to the topic of industry development, trucks and trailers always take the spotlight during the IAA event, which is an exhibition for commercial vehicles and a chance for brands to showcase their constant technological advancements and evolution. Perhaps this area might come in handy later this year, who knows?



Finally, while only the city of Hannover will receive a fresh coat of paint at the moment, more is to come in the future. For now, we also have several other features and changes arriving in the 1.45 update for ETS2, so make sure to follow our social media profiles (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) to stay in touch with all the latest news!

Today, we are excited to share with you some of the new content our teams have been cooking up for version 1.45 of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. This time we are delighted to showcase an update for the Krone Trailer Pack plus a special addition for owners of this DLC.



You may remember that a while ago, our teams had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Krone production plant in Werlte, Germany. We took scans and references of multiple trailers and even of the factory itself using a drone, which has resulted in this exciting collaboration and update! So, what exactly does this free update hold?



Owners of the Krone Trailer Pack will receive two new trailers, the new Profi Liner Building trailer, and the Paper Liner trailer. These new three-axle trailers will both come with retractable axles. So what can be hauled with these new trailers?

The Krone Paper Liner curtainsider trailer and Krone's updated Profi Liner Building Material drop side trailer allows drivers to transport goods such as seed bags, fertilizer, plant substrate, outdoor floor tiles, roof tiles, and bricks. You will also find a new freight market cargo for the Boxliner, which consists of two stacked boxliner chassis for hauling!



Both trailers also come with optional accessories including original Krone paint jobs, side skirts, pallet boxes, tire stores, and bumpers. This update also includes five new Krone accessories for your cabin including cute bear and truck toys. but that's not all!



We have also worked closely with the fantastic team at Krone to bring you a detailed representation of the Krone production plant virtually in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Producing approximately 30,000 vehicle units a year, this factory is a hub of activity and is in constant need of logistics. Drivers who own the Krone Trailers Pack DLC will have the opportunity to deliver parts to and from the factory as well as deliver brand new trailers from the Krone Trailer Point within the production plant where they are rolled off the line!



We can't wait for you to visit the Krone factory for yourself, virtually of course! Also, this special area may hold some surprises in the near future, which may require the help of our #BestCommunityEver! Keep an eye out in the future on our social media pages (Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram) for the latest 1.45 development updates and a teaser or two of what is to come.

Some of you have probably been wondering for the last couple of days what are the next steps on the journey through Euro Truck Simulator 2. All of that changes today, however, as we are excited to officially announce our upcoming DLC project. This time, the roads will take you to the West Balkans!



Perhaps the most observant of you already saw this coming, since you may remember we’ve created an "egg hunt" challenge with thematically colored eggs for this year’s Easter Holiday. We had a lot of fun watching you explore every corner of our social media channels and your collective effort has not come to naught, as you managed to find all the secret eggs successfully!

As it is with our big map expansions and overlapping development periods, planning and research for this work-in-progress DLC commenced well over a year ago. The project lead with a core group of veterans have already started prototyping specific locations last autumn. The same goes for 3D model creation; the work on all the various unique landmarks, buildings, bridges, etc. (we call them 3D assets) must start well over half a year before the map designers need them. But still, practically we are only in the early phase of development, with the majority of the map design team getting on board just a couple of months ago. We are now full speed in production, finally able to start showing you the interesting bits as they are finished. We'll be working hard to bring this expansion to you as soon as possible, while still making sure it will get released when it's fully ready and properly polished.



When it comes to the countries you will be able to see in this DLC, it will be quite a challenge for us, as we are bringing in several of them! Namely, they are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Phew, that is quite an exhaustive list indeed!



You can look forward to many new things that these countries have to offer. Whether in terms of the industry, nature, landmarks, road networks, or a lot of other interesting content!

If you want to show us how excited you are for this new addition to the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2, make sure to visit the Steam page and add it to your Steam Wishlist. It would help us a lot and we would greatly appreciate it! Also, be on the lookout for any news related to this upcoming DLC, whether it is here on the blog, on our social media profiles (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), or by subscribing to our newsletter. We have a lot of topics up our sleeves and we plan on bringing them to you as soon as we can. Until then, we’ll see you on the road!

It feels like the hype train for today’s announcement has been so loud it could probably be heard by astronauts in space. And while we’d like to say that sky is the limit for this new content, it will be much better to keep your wheels on the ground. After all, how else would you enjoy everything that is arriving in the Renault Trucks T Tuning Pack DLC?!

With a wide range of tuning options, this pack will make sure you will always stand out while on the roads of ETS2. Featuring paint jobs, cabin accessories, and many exterior tuning parts, such as sideskirts, chassis covers, bumpers, fenders, mudflaps, exhausts, sun visors, stoneguards, trims, deflectors, front masks and grilles, bull bars, light bars, headlight guards, and much more! But this is not all, since, in case you missed it, we have added a new interior variant into the game in the 1.44 update, which is a free update that does not require the DLC pack.



While this DLC consists of mostly aftermarket parts, we are also going to bring you some items officially licensed by Renault Trucks. In order for you to be able to tell which category an item belongs to, we have decided to add a unique in-game UI feature as well in the recent update, which shows you a special icon indicating whether the item of your choice is Licensed or Aftermarket. We have already introduced this change in the 1.44 update and you can learn more details in the dedicated blog post.



We can’t wait for you to show us all the combinations of customizations that this DLC pack is offering. The best way to do so is via social media by tagging our official account (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) under the hashtag #TuneMyT, and make sure to include Renault Trucks as well (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). We’re sure their social media profiles are also excited to see what the #BestCommunityEver will come up with!
