Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

We are excited to share with you that a new game module for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will be introduced with the 1.52 update - Driving Academy. This free update will include sets of scenarios which we hope will teach our players a thing or two about driving and maneuvering a truck in a fun and captivating way.


We are venturing into new territory, inspired by years of feedback from players who have told us that our games have helped them grasp the basics of truck driving. Many have used it to get a sense of handling a truck and trailer, learning how to maneuver and reverse. With this in mind, we thought we'd take it a step further by introducing a series of challenges specifically designed to improve and expand these skills.


Driving Academy will help players learn to drive a truck, from basic driving to navigating intricate courses and complex parking maneuvers with a detailed explanation via driving instructions including diagrams, pointers, and directions. This new game module will provide you with various scenarios of increasing difficulty inspired by instructions given to real-life students. We also wanted to enable drivers to analyze their drive so we have also implemented a new replay feature into this game module as well.


As we mentioned above, we are testing the waters with Driving Academy, but if we get positive feedback from our community, we would love to continue creating additional scenarios and special challenges in the future that real-life truck drivers may encounter on the road. Our dream is for this game module to offer a deeper understanding of both truck driving and the underlying systems, as well as when to use them. But that is still a long way to go.


We also plan to explore this new game module in our live streams, create a special explanatory video, and the topic may also be explored in an Under the Hood blog post, explaining our thought process and production challenges. So you will want to be on the lookout on our channels so you do not miss out on this exclusive content that will also take you behind the scenes - follow us on our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.


We hope you will appreciate this new feature, enjoy it when it is released and maybe even learn something new about trucking. Until then, happy travels!

Today, we're excited to bring innovation and modern technology to the world of virtual trucking. As you may remember, last year, KRONE Trailers invited us to be a part of their trailer technology revolution, giving us an insight into their work with Trailer Dynamics, and today we are excited to fulfill our promise by implementing it into the KRONE Trailer Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2.


Introducing the KRONE eTrailer! This collaboration between Krone Trailers and Trailer Dynamics has resulted in special electrified trailers that reduce the diesel consumption and CO2 emissions of a semitrailer tractor by 20 to 40 percent.

The core of this is a powerful electric drivetrain, which supports the drive of the semitrailer and tractor while also recovering braking energy through recuperation. The eAxis delivers 360 kW continuously and up to 580 kW at peak.


For now, the KRONE eTrailer will only be available on the Freight Market, for shorter jobs under 350km and when hauling certain cargoes only. Players who find these job contracts will have the choice of two of these revolutionary Krone eTrailers, the eDry Liner and the eCool Liner. We look forward to having you experience how big of an improvement this provides for your fuel economy, as well as how powerful these trailers are!


We cannot thank our partners at KRONE Trailer enough for allowing us to bring their revolutionary eTrailer into Euro Truck Simulator 2, and we praise them for delivering the future and for leading the way with more economical and cleaner technology on our roads.


We'd love to see you trucking in Euro Truck Simulator 2 with KRONE eTrailers! Be sure to tag KRONE Trailers and our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok with any screenshots & videos, as we'd love to repost them. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Krone Trailer Pack below!

Today, we're happy to share with you another blogpost focusing on one of the many cities which will be found in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today, we're headed to Norway to give you a first look at the city of Bodø!


Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Bodø is the second biggest city in Northern Norway after Tromsø. Originally established as a trading town, it has a rich history in fishing and mining, which gave the town prosperity. During World War II, much of the town was unfortunately destroyed, but it has been completely rebuilt and enlarged, with a few surviving structures preserved. These can be found in our virtual recreation of Bodø as custom built buildings.


During the 1940's, due to the lack of housing, the Swedish Government helped build 107 apartments. This small area now known as Svenskebyen can be found in the heart of the city.

Today, Bodø is a bustling and vibrant city, with plenty of roads, landmarks and industries for truckers in our upcoming DLC to explore and discover. From the Stormen Concert Hall to the Aviation Musuem, we are sure you'll enjoy the sightseeing opportunities!


But let's not forget that we have work to do! As a trucker, you'll be able to find job contracts and deliver to depots at the City Airport, supermarket, the Yacht builders' Shipyard and more. If you enjoy your stay in Bodø, consider purchasing a garage in the city as your new headquarters or as an expansion to your current company.


We hope you enjoyed checking out the city of Bodø in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you are excited to get trucking in this region, be sure to add to your Steam Wishlist. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
