Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Today, we're excited to share our experience attending this year's International Automobile Exhibition (IAA), hosted at the Hannover Messe venue in Hannover, Germany. This event is one of the most important on the calendar for truck manufacturers worldwide and serves as the leading platform for logistics, commercial vehicles, and the transport sector to showcase their products, innovations and ideas to the world.


This year, we were honoured to have our simulation titles and 4D motion rigs featured across the exhibition floor, thanks to our amazing partners. This, of course, would not have been possible without the hard work of our colleagues at SCS Software, who transported all the necessary gear, including our 4D motion simulators (even the one usually kept in our office), from Prague to Hannover. Join Mark, Nemiro, and Oscar in this special On The Road Vlog as they travel to IAA and share their experiences from the show.

Naturally, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to speak with some of our hard-working partners, including Kögel Trailer, Wielton Group, and Trailer Dynamics, all of whom are featured in this special vlog. We even had the awesome opportunity to be invited to talk with Krone on the Denkfabrik stage. And, of course, we had to showcase some of the amazing trucks, trailers, and more found across the show floor.

Whilst this was an incredibly busy time for us all, we are very proud of how recognised our simulation titles have become in the real-world automotive industry. A huge thank you goes out to all of our partners for allowing us to be a part of their exhibits and booths, and we look forward to 2026 when IAA TRANSPORTATION returns to Hannover.

Hello, #BestCommunityEver! Fancy some Nordic Horizons news? Well, we have some right here for you. Today, we would like to show you the city of Skellefteå, which is currently being developed for this upcoming Euro Truck Simulator 2 map expansion.


Skellefteå is located near the northeastern coast of Sweden and is one of the highlights of Swedish Lapland. The city's population is more than 36,000 citizens. Its nickname is Guldstaden which means "gold town" because of Skellefteå's rich industrial and mining history, which was especially focused on gold.


As is always the case with cities we build for our map expansions, you will find plenty of landmark buildings inspired by their real-world counterparts in Skellefteå. These include several office buildings, a massive parking structure adorned with the Skellefteå logo, a unique hotel constructed entirely of wood, and alchemical signs symbolizing different materials displayed along a large gangway in the industrial area.


Naturally, you will also come across plenty of job opportunities in the local industries. We have mentioned the rich industrial history of the city, and that is why we just couldn't leave out the local steelworks company.

Other than that, truckers can pick up cargo in Skellefteå's logistics depot, building materials store, heavy machinery depot, and even a brand-new, yet-to-be-announced depot - but we won't spoil all the surprises for you now!


We hope you have enjoyed this little sneak peek into this upcoming map expansion for ETS2. If you are excited about the Nordic Horizons DLC, make sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist!

Today we're happy to share a new episode in our SCS On The Road series! In this video, we're taking you back to the summertime when we had the opportunity to attend Elmia Lastbil, an international trade fair for the transport and trucking industry hosted in Jönköping, Sweden. In collaboration with Scania Trucks, we were able to share the experience of our 4D Motion Simulator and offer a virtual test drive of their Scania S BEV at our virtual 1:1 recreation of the Scania Test Center located in Södertälje with attendees at the show.


Join Mark as he chats with James Cotino, Exhibit Unit Specialist at Scania Group and shows you around one of the largest haulage and transport events in the Nordic Region. The show was well attended with over 400 exhibitors plus an incredible array and variety of trucks and trailers from all over Europe. We were also lucky enough to check out the Nordic Trophy, which is an event where custom show trucks from all over the Nordic region come together to be judged in hopes of winning the title. If you love custom trucks, airbrushed paint jobs and more, you won't want to miss this!

We'd like to once again thank our partners at Scania for allowing us the opportunity to collaborate with them at their booth for this event. We really had a fantastic time and enjoyed giving attendees from across the world the opportunity to virtually test drive the Scania S BEV in Euro Truck Simulator 2. We also hope you enjoyed watching this recap! If you did, consider leaving a like or a comment under the video on YouTube. Until next time, keep on truckin'.

Dear #BestCommunityEver,

The holiday season is upon us! For many, this is a time to reflect on the past year and cherish moments with loved ones. Wherever you are and however you celebrate, we hope you’ll find the time to enjoy the holiday spirit this season brings. Like many of you, a majority of our team here at SCS Software will be taking a holiday away from the office to enjoy traditional festivities with friends and family. During this time, you can expect a bit of a quieter period from us across our official channels, but it won't be long before we're back on the road again in the New Year!

2024 has undoubtedly been a year of growth, change, and progress. With the release of Nebraska and Arkansas for American Truck Simulator and Greece for Euro Truck Simulator 2, many new miles have been added to the in-game world! From exciting firsts, such as the introduction of the first electric truck in ETS2, the Renault E-Tech T to the launch of the Driving Academy, we’re proud to have delivered new content and features to our #BestCommunityEver.

We also can’t overlook the major milestones we’ve achieved this year, including moving into new offices and expanding our team of over 360! None of this would have been possible without the hard work of our incredible team and partners and, of course, the unwavering support of you our community.


Looking to get some extra miles in over the festive period? Take part in our Return To Winterland World of Trucks event for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator! Experience the magical Winterland as you help deliver supplies and gift packs across the globe, which contribute to your personal and community goal to unlock tiers of in-game rewards! This year's event features a few special updates to make it even more magical than before. Read more on how you can take part here.


We also recently hosted our traditional Special Christmas Live Steam, which reflects on the past year and where we shared some teasers, glimpses of upcoming projects, and what is in store for the future of ETS2 and ATS. With Special guests including our CEO Pavel Šebor, don't miss out on what we shared! You can re-watch the entire stream at our official YouTube channel here!

We'd like to thank you all again for your support, and we can't wait to spend many more miles on the road with you in 2025. From all of us here at SCS Software, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last week, we released the IVECO S-Way for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Now, we bring you a fresh SCS On The Road episode where we show you this truck in real life!


We had the pleasure of visiting IVECO earlier this year where we filmed this episode for our #BestCommunityEver. The host of today's episode is Oscar, who interviewed Federico Giovanetti, Senior Product Manager, and Fabio Avidano, Product Manager at IVECO. Federico and Fabio shared everything there is to know about the stunning S-Way, and we're incredibly grateful to them and the entire IVECO team for their fantastic collaboration. Thanks to their support, we were able to bring this wonderful truck to our game and record this episode for you. Now, without further ado, let's watch it together!
