Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Since April, drivers across the world have been taking part in the #CruisingIberia World of Trucks event. This special event was to celebrate the release of the Iberia DLC in Euro Truck Simulator 2, where drivers had the opportunity to earn rewards by completing personal and community goals whilst discovering cities across this giant Peninsula.



In just over a week, you smashed the community goal of 250,000,000km! Wow! We couldn't believe how fast the goal was met; it just goes to show the amazing power of our #BestCommunityEver. Whilst the community goal was completed, there were still many truckers who did not have the time to complete their personal goal to deliver cargo to or from 20 cities in Iberia. So we decided to extend the event, just to make sure everyone got a chance to gain their rewards.

However, with new events on the horizon, #CruisingIberia must, unfortunately, come to end, but let us take a moment to take a look at some of the stats that you achieved whilst exploring our newest addition to ETS2!



Incredible work truckers! We cannot thank you enough for your support during the release of Iberia. It really does bring a lot of joy to our team to see how much you enjoy participating in these events. We hope you ride with pride with your newly acquired Iberian-themed paint jobs & cabin accessories which you have earned.



Iberia wasn't the only place where our community made themselves known! You also took to our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages with the hashtag #CruisingIberia and shared photos and videos of your journeys across Iberia. We absolutely loved seeing all of your reactions to the many unique locations, landmarks, and industries this part of the world has to offer.

We cannot wait to get trucking again with you soon in a future World of Trucks event, which may be arriving sooner than you think.

An interesting couple of weeks full of testing is behind us and we have been making great improvements largely thanks to your feedback, our #BestCommunityEver. The time to switch gears and drive forward into the future is almost here and we believe now is the right time for another teaser!

In case you have missed our coverage of experimental and open betas and want to learn more about our upcoming Convoy gameplay mode, you can read more about it in the 1.41 Update Open Beta blog articles (ETS2, ATS). Apart from celebrating your fellow truckers on International Friendship Day, which is this month (how convenient, right?), you will also have a chance to join them on the road, taking the same job and delivering cargo together, navigating through synchronized traffic, braving the weather along the route and much more!

But before all this will come with the 1.41 release, let us put you in the right mood with this video:

The full release of the 1.41 update is coming soon, hopefully in a matter of days. So now is the best time to let your friends know what’s happening so everyone is ready for its arrival. We hope to see you doing some deliveries on the roads of ETS2 and ATS together!

In April, we teamed up with Renault Trucks and Thrustmaster to introduce the new Renault Trucks T Evolution truck through Euro Truck Simulator 2. With it, we also launched the #RenaultTrucksEvolution Design Contest to give you the exciting opportunity to create a paint job design for the newly-released vehicle. In this competition, for the first time in the history of the synergy between virtual truckers and the real automotive industry, the ultimate winner would see their design featured in-game and on a REAL truck!



During the contest, we received hundreds of unique design entries from around the world. To everyone who entered, we cannot thank you enough, we loved seeing all your original and creative liveries! However, the team over at Renault Trucks had to make the tough decision to choose just 5 finalists to progress to the final round.



And this is where we left the decision in your hands, our #BestCommunityEver! We asked you to vote for your favorite design, which would ultimately appear in Euro Truck Simulator 2 as a paint job and on an actual Renault Trucks T High!



Well, today we are incredibly excited to reveal the final winning design which you voted for! Please welcome the Diamond Evolution!



A HUGE congratulations to Bolat Enes who is our Ultimate Renault Trucks Evolution Winner! Your design has been chosen by the community to be featured in-game on a virtual Renault Truck T Evolution as well as on a real production truck which the team at Renault Trucks have sent us some amazing photos of!



As of now, this design (slightly adjusted by the Renault Trucks' team of designers) is now available as part of a free update for all owners of Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam, so make sure you take a moment to check it out for yourselves. We think it looks great! Renault Trucks' team also managed to do a very nice interview with Bolat Enes about his design and other topics. Make sure to watch it in the video below.

We'd like to once again thank the team over at Renault Trucks for making this contest a reality! It really has been been an amazing ride and it wouldn't have been possible without them. Please make sure to follow their social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and share with them your Renault trucking adventures in ETS2!

For all of us in SCS Software, the automotive industry, and for the #BestCommunityEver, this project has been a huge and very important milestone; and a first of its kind as well! We hope that we will be able to bring more cool cooperations and projects like this in the future.

Hello there! If you are closely following our social media profiles, you may have already noticed us sharing Renault Trucks' announcement regarding the new Evolution model range reveal event that is taking place on July 8th. We are very excited to let you know that our colleagues Nemiro and mr.cenda will be personally present at the event in Lyon, France, and that they'll do their best to join our special live stream from there and bring some exclusive footage, info, giveaway and content to our #BestCommunityEver! 



So be sure to tune in to our broadcast when it goes live on Twitch, Steam, and YouTube on the 8th of July from 18:30 CEST! Aside from covering the show and the reveal event, you can also look forward to a studio session with Alex, Raven, and Pavel Sebor. Plus - if everything goes according to a plan, we'll release the winning design for ETS2 together at the end of our stream!



We hope you are as thrilled as we are for this extraordinary evening and that you are prepared to have a good time not only with us but with your fellow community members as well! Keep a close eye on our or Renault Trucks' social media channels, or watch the countdown HERE. You can also register for the event on the same page if you want.

The sheer size of Russia means that it hosts a vast array of nature and wildlife. The country is home to various landscapes and almost every habitat imaginable including forest, rivers, seas and more. In our upcoming Heart of Russia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you will be able to journey through some of these beautiful but sometimes tricky country roads. 



Russia contains the largest expanse of forest in the world with some 8 million square kilometers of mixed woodlands, including larch, pine, spruce, oak and the country's national tree birch, which is an important part of Russia's folklore and history; but more about that in a future blogpost!  



As Russia is so huge, it’s no surprise that this incredible country is also home to a large number of ecosystems and habitats. From remote rugged wilderness to picturesque countryside, Russia is bound to surprise you at every turn with its rich history and abundance in natural beauty.


We look forward to sharing more development news about Heart of Russia in the future, and the beautiful landscapes and new road networks that will arrive with it. Until then, however, be sure to check out the official Heart of Russia Steam store page with early-development screenshots, and if you wish to support us, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist!
