12 years after teasing buses were coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2, they finally arrive

You know how it is: you rush to the bus stop because you think you're going to miss it, then it arrives 12 years late. Typical. The makers of Euro Truck Simulator 2 have shown off a short trailer with a big shiny European coach in it. It confirms that the sim will add driveable buses in some form soon, fulfilling a long-forgotten tease that was first made by the developers back in the cloudy days of 2013.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 teases a new way to play that could change the game

It's easy to forget just how much of a Steam megahit Euro Truck Simulator 2 actually is. With tens of thousands of people playing it at any given time, and a 97% rating from over 650,000 user reviews, SCS Software's in-depth cargo hauling sim is still going strong. I for one love turning my brain off and driving across the continent to deliver some precious cargo, and others tend to agree. The future of ETS2 is also looking incredibly bright, as SCS has finally teased a mechanic we've been waiting for.

Next Stop: ETS2

Nordic Horizons: Tornio and Haparanda

One border, two countries, and a seamless connection! In our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you’ll experience one of Europe’s most successful examples of cross-border cooperation. Join us as we take a closer look at this unique area!


Welcome to Tornio, a Finnish city located directly on the Swedish border and closely tied to its twin town, Haparanda. While in the real world these are two distinct municipalities, in ETS2 they will appear together under the single in-game name of Tornio due to scale limitations. However, players can expect to see and experience defining elements from both sides of this shared region.


When travelling through these cities, you’ll be able to drive across a bridge that connects Finland and Sweden, which also offers views of the river and the town plaza. Not far from this bridge, players will also encounter a special landmark, appropriately named the “Engagement Rings”, a sculpture positioned on a small roundabout. This artwork symbolizes the unity between the two towns and stands as a tribute to their ongoing cooperation and shared identity. It is one of three small roundabouts in the area that we’ve recreated to reflect the local road network.


Looking for work? Tornio will feature a logistics hub with a depot, fuel station, and service station for truck maintenance. To the south, drivers can travel to a large industrial zone that includes a steelworks facility, a river port depot, and a wind farm! Across the border in the Haparanda-inspired part of town, players will find a large Ika depot to deliver to and from. So no matter which city you're in, there'll be no shortage of job contracts.


Beyond the roads and depots, this part of the map also comes with a bit of charm and trivia. Tornio and Haparanda sit in different time zones, with Finland an hour ahead of Sweden. This has led to fun cultural quirks, such as people crossing the border on New Year’s Eve to celebrate midnight twice, once in Finland, then again an hour later in Sweden, just a short walk away.


We hope you enjoyed this look at Tornio and Haparanda, an we look forward to you exploring them both for yourself in the future. If you're excited for the Nordic Horizons DLC, then be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist.

Until next time, keep on truckin'.
