Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

Today, we're excited to release a new episode in our SCS On The Road series. This time, we were given the special opportunity to get a close-up look at one of Scania's fully electric trucks at the Scania Demo Centre, located in Södertälje, Sweden.


Join Oscar, our Director of Global Partnerships, and Fredrik Sundén, Expert Engineer at Scania Group as they talk about the development of the Scania 45 R, the little sister to the Scania 40 & 45 S, and give you a guided walk-around and POV from the cabin as they drive it on the test track.

We are very grateful to the team at Scania for allowing us to film and share with you an inside look at the work that goes into creating Scania's electrified trucks. Whilst only the Scania 40 & 45 S are available in Euro Truck Simulator 2 as quick jobs, we were thrilled to be given the opportunity to test drive and learn more about its smaller counterpart, the Scania 45 R, which shares many similarities.

We hope you enjoy watching, and learning about the fully electric Scania 45 R. If you like the video, be sure to subscribe, like and leave a reply, as we'd love to hear your comments. We will see you soon for the next episode, until then, keep on truckin'!

We have another update from the Germany Rework project for our #BestCommunityEver! Today, we would like to show you how we completely revamped the cities of Osnabrück and Magdeburg for this upcoming rework phase in Euro Truck Simulator 2, so let's dive right in.


[h3]Osnabrück[/h3]
This city located in the northwestern part of Germany is also known as the City of Peace. While rebuilding Osnabrück and its surroundings, we managed to make the historic centre driveable for our players, who will now be able to admire the beautiful landmarks.


The economy has been adjusted to better reflect the real locations, so truckers will deliver to a honey factory and a scrapyard in the harbour. This change makes Osnabrück one of the most picturesque cities in Germany with a lot of smaller details making it look alive.


[h3]Magdeburg[/h3]
While rebuilding Magdeburg, we had a limited amount of space to work with. With that in mind, we decided to put our focus on the industrial part of the city which turned out really great. Truckers will come across a windmill factory and a food mill in the nearby harbour.


The area around the city was adjusted too and features several landmarks such as the Magdeburg Water Bridge and the Elbe River with its accompanying bridges. We have also specifically modified the highway exit so that truckers transporting wind turbines from the windmill factory can manoeuvre their way out.


And that's a wrap for now! We will keep you updated about other ETS2 news and the Germany Rework project as well on our social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok), so make sure to follow us there.

Today, we bring our #BestCommunityEver some exciting news! For the past few months, we have been hard at work preparing another trailer pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2, and now seems like a great time to reveal that Kässbohrer trailers will be coming to our game!


Established in 1893, Kässbohrer has been developing vehicles that have pushed the boundaries of vehicle engineering. Using the world's latest technology, Kässbohrer engineers their trailers to the highest standard and it makes them more flexible in finding the right transportation solution for customers' specific needs.


In these screenshots, you can see how much progress our vehicles team has made in bringing these beautiful trailers into the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2. And our teams are still working hard to bring this trailer pack to our #BestCommunityEver as soon as possible. We will, of course, tell you the release date once we are sure these trailers are fully ready to hit the virtual roads!

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our partners at Kässbohrer for providing support and data to enable us to recreate their amazing trailers virtually in ETS2!


We hope you are as excited as we are to try out this renowned European brand once it's in the game. Keep in mind, that these screenshots are still a work in progress, and the final product may change until the release. Until then, make sure to follow us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to catch all the latest information. We will see you on the virtual roads!

Get your documents ready; border control is here! In today's blog, we would like to show you some of the border crossings you will encounter on your way in and out of Greece, the upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2.


You will be able to get to Greece through six border crossings, but today we will show you three of those so we don't spoil it for you all at once!

[h3]Kakavia[/h3]
Kakavia is a major border crossing between Greece and Albania, meticulously modeled in our game to accurately reflect its real-world counterpart. Numerous smaller details are scattered throughout the area, capturing the true essence of the location, such as the customs regulations building situated in the middle of the crossings.


[h3]Níki - Medzhitlija[/h3]
Located on the E65 Route, the Níki-Medzhitlija border crossing connects Greece with North Macedonia. This crossing has also been custom-made to perfectly resemble its real-life counterpart, as you can see in the screenshots. Historically, it was the southernmost border of Yugoslavia.


[h3]Makaza - Nimphaia[/h3]
Makaza-Nimphaia is a border crossing between Greece and Bulgaria. This mountain pass stands out as one of the smallest border crossings in the game measuring only over 100 metres in length. The border and its surroundings are custom-made as well.


Keep in mind that this DLC is still a work in progress, but we hope this blog provides a peek into our ongoing efforts. If you're excited about this map expansion, add the Greece DLC to your Steam Wishlist. Don't forget to stay tuned and follow us on our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok for all the latest updates!

Today, we're happy to share with you some new images and information from our on-going Germany rework project for Euro Truck Simulator 2; specifically from the city of Kassel. Much like the previously highlighted areas in this rework, this city was completely rebuilt from scratch! Let's take a closer look shall we?


Located in the North of Germany, Kassel is a city steeped in history and cultural heritage. The rework team has recreated some of the more prominent historical buildings that can be found around Kassel, including the museum, gallery and theatre. Be sure to capture a photo of them for your gallery!


We have also recreated the road network to a more realistic standard. Drivers will be able to travel along Bundesautobahn 7, through the city, with an exit on B251. Truckers will also find a new secondary route available which will offer views of the Hercules monument located in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.


Of course, you'll also have the opportunity to travel on the Wilhelmshöher Allee, which is one of the most important streets in Kassel, connecting the city centre from east to west. Be sure to keep an eye out of your window for some views of the river Fulda, one of two headstreams of the Weser River.


Drivers looking for job contracts in the area will find a variety of industries large and small, including logistics centres, supermarkets and a car parts factory. We also recommend checking out the location of the garage in the city, especially if you're looking to base your operations in Kassel!


We look forward to highlighting more of the Germany Rework project in the near future, and we hope you like what you've seen here! If you do, be sure to let us know in the comments or on our Social Media Channels, as our team would love to hear your thoughts. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
