Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

The nominations for the annual Steam Awards are opening, along with the start of the Steam Autumn Sale. Our games are once again featured in these special events. You may remember (we definitely do, thank you!) that our Euro Truck Simulator 2 managed to win in two categories during the first year of Steam Awards in 2016.



Since then, we have continuously supported our games with multiple updates that brought tons of new content and our developers are always passionately doing their best to bring our #BestCommunityEver all that it likes to see. Apart from having multiple big and smaller features in development, we are working on multiple map DLCs and several vehicles, and we are curious to see how happy the community will be once all of these features are released for ETS2 or ATS. 

Like years previous, you will be able to nominate us for the Labor of Love category, which is dedicated to games that constantly receive updates and new content even years after their initial launch. This category will be crowded and there will be some tough competition, but if you feel like either Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator deserves this award, you can cast your vote over on the Steam Awards Nominations Page.



No matter the result, we want to once again let you know that we appreciate your support, and your happiness will always be our measuring scale when developing new updates. Until we have some more news to share about that, we’ll see you on the road!

The history of Russia is incredibly rich. The largest country in the world used to be a land of tsars and colorful family sagas. And since the state stretches over an enormous landscape, the land is logically filled with numerous monuments referencing the rich past. Let’s take look at some of these historically important creations that you will be able to see in the upcoming Heart of Russia DLC for ETS2!



There are many monuments you will be able to see on your journey through this map expansion. Ranging from statues to unusual structures and locations, no shortage of history and art is guaranteed. After all, it’s difficult not to be in awe when seeing the Rzhev memorial statue.


The heritage of the past is also visible on a great amount of large memorial stones, which will be quite a common occurrence in the country.  However, the word "monument" reaches further, and the great art of the Veliky Novgorod airplane falls into this category as well. 


In addition to all that was mentioned, Russia is also very proud of its military history and it is no surprise that there will be numerous opportunities to notice some army vehicle monuments along the roads. 

Despite where your trucking story takes you, will you pay any of these a visit?


Whether your job will take you through city roads or country ones, you will most certainly be able to witness at least some of the unique Russian monuments. And if this blog has taught us anything, it is important to remember our past, therefore make sure to add the upcoming Heart of Russia DLC to your Steam Wishlist so you will always have it in mind until it will be available.

We are working hard on the 1.43 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, as it is shaping up to be a fairly big update. There are many additions that require further information and while we have already announced it in our previously released ETS2 and ATS Open Beta blog posts, today we’ll take a more detailed look at one of the new features arriving with this update - purchasable dumper trailers!



This type of trailer in ETS2 will be used for materials such as barley, coal, excavated soil, granite cubes, gravel, ore, rye, sand, metal scrap, stone dust, wheat, wood bark, and wood shavings. In addition to having 2 different customizable body types (aluminum and steel) and 2 different lengths (9m and 10m), here is a detailed list of everything you will be able to customize:

• Chassis type
  
• Paint jobs
  
• Front ladder
  
• Markers
  
• Side protection plates/boxes
  
• Rear fender
  
• Rear bumper
  
• Rear mudflaps
  
• Rear banners
  

In American Truck Simulator, these trailers will be used for soil, gravel, limestone, sand, metal scrap, stones, and wood shavings. You will be able to choose from 3 customizable body types - end dumpers, side dumpers, and bottom dumpers. 



Each of them is available in different lengths, and in two or three-axle configurations. Side dumpers are available as b-double, turnpike, or single trailers; bottom dumpers can be used in double, rocky mountain double, turnpike double, and single configurations, and all other body types come with just a single trailer configuration.  

Apart from the mentioned above, here comes an exact list of the customizable parts:

• Body type
  
• Chassis type
  
• Front fenders
  
• Front mudflaps
  
• Markers
  
• Trailer rear types
  
• Rear bumpers
  
• Rear mudflaps
  

We are extremely eager to see you hauling these new dumper trailers in your company and how you will customize them! Be sure to share with us your photos of your newly owned trailers on our Social Media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) once you will get your hands on them.

In 2017, we introduced a set of truck tyres and truck accessories, officially licensed from Michelin for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Michelin is one of the largest tyre manufacturers in the world and we are proud to be able to work with Michelin to bring recognizable real-world content to ETS2.

Today we are happy to share with you that the Michelin Fan Pack DLC has received a free update in version 1.43, which includes an addition much requested by the community - official Michelin tyres are now also applicable to trailers. So what will owners of the Michelin Fan Pack find in this update? 



If that list hasn't got you excited, here is a showcase of shots of the new content in action on the roads of Euro Truck Simulator 2! 



But this isn't the end, as our team are further revisiting the older content of the Michelin Fan Pack as well as creating new additions too! Keep an eye on our social media channels as we will be announcing these additions when they are ready. 

We can't wait to see what further customizations you will make to your truck and trailer with Michelin Tyres! Be sure to share your images with us on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!)
