Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tyre companies and well known for its premium brand. For over 120 years Goodyear has pushed the envelope with new innovations in tyres and ‘beyond tyres’ setting the standard in the industry. Building on over 120 years of innovation, Goodyear just launched a full advanced range of on-road truck tyres. With the latest technologies on-board, the new KMAX GEN-2 and FUELMAX GEN-2 tyres deliver enhanced mileage and fuel-efficiency performance, while being able to cope with all kinds of weather conditions.

However, distributing these new tyres to all of the garages and showrooms across Euro Truck Simulator 2 requires the help of our awesome community in our Goodyear Roll Out event on World of Trucks.

With this event, you will have the opportunity to receive a free activation key for the new Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC, if your own personal goal and the community goal is achieved.



Be advised that the deliveries might be of long-distance, and owning a variety of map DLCs will be a crucial factor in succeeding.



Using external contracts in Euro Truck Simulator 2 on a World of Trucks-connected profile, the community must reach 300,000 deliveries of Goodyear tyres using the provided Goodyear trailer.

To complete your personal goal, you must make 10 or more deliveries of Goodyear tyres using external contracts on a World of Trucks-connected profile on Euro Truck Simulator 2.

This in-game event will be available until Saturday 3rd of August 23:59 CEST (21:59 UTC).

One or more of the following map DLCs are required (DLCs are on sale during the first 2 days of the event):

• Vive la France!
• Scandinavia
• Italia
• Beyond the Baltic Sea

ːsummer2019tireː Personal goal: Individual player contributions of 10 or more deliveries of Goodyear tyres will be rewarded with a World of Trucks Achievement and a hanging Goodyear blimp cabin accessory.



ːhittheroadː Community goal: Once the community goal of 300,000 deliveries of Goodyear tyres is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal then they will receive a Steam code to unlock our new Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC, for free.

Get ready to roll-out with Goodyear! We would love to see your photos and videos from the event, so no matter how you are taking part, make sure to share your progress on our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) with the hashtag #GoodyearRollOut

With over 222,000 square kilometers of forest covering the Balkans region, drivers can expect to see a wide variety of landscapes and nature across our upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea.




Home to some of the most diverse vegetation found in Europe, these mixed forest regions are a beautiful sight for any driver passing through its various landscapes.



We are sure you will enjoy exploring what these beautiful countries have to offer, including the scenic backdrops you will find along your journey.



Make sure to add Road to the Black Sea to your wishlist on Steam!

One of the major features of the 1.35 update, for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, was the addition of the GPS Voice Navigation functionality and the welcome party was great! It felt like only minutes after we pushed the button, that almost every nation had one or more versions of their own language supported for the voice-over feature. This is thanks to the community who took full advantage of our games' mod support.

Yep, that's right, on Steam Workshop (ETS2, ATS) you can find different GPS voices, ranging from funny to serious, voiced by well-known actors, comedians, celebrities and of course our very own modders. That's because adding different voice packs or even recording your own is really easy! Check out our modding wiki to see how!

That said, as much as we love community-made mods, add-ons and reworks, we didn't slam on the brakes! There will soon be a total of 15 supported languages; this means that in the future update, you'll find 6 new language options in addition to the 9 that we already have. This mini-update will also bring some minor fixes and changes, which are mostly a result of your helpful feedback. Thank you for that!

Since the release of Vive la France !, you asked for more rural roads in every new map expansion. Understandably, as the sights there are much more charming than the highways views. And what completes the rural atmosphere, except nice countryside? Of course, villages!

So today we'd like to share some screenshots from a few mostly-completed villages throughout the countries of the upcoming Road to the Black Sea. And since so many of you wish for more ways to avoid highways, we plan to build a lot more of these!



While it's still a work-in-progress, the beauty of this region begins to show itself, wouldn't you say?

Across most of Europe, you will find that a majority of countries share open inter-state borders as part of the Schengen Agreement. This allows for a free flow of people and an easier flow of goods between nations, which makes those long-haul journeys a little bit easier; however entry for the Balkans region from Hungary into Romania is much stricter.



After our first iteration of border crossings outside of the EU's Schengen area in Beyond the Baltic Sea, our teams have made improvements to create a more functioning border for our players to experience.



In our upcoming map expansion, you will find two border crossings between Hungary & Romania, three between Romania & Bulgaria and two of the largest and most complicated crossings between Bulgaria & Turkey.



These borders represent our first implementation of creating a more realistic border experience, which has been created using unique assets, and with new procedures in place; with plans to improve them further with future development and expansions.



We look forward to sharing more information about this upcoming map expansion, just remember to have your truck in order before crossing the border... Glory to Arstotzka!
