Euro Truck Simulator 2 News

The West Balkans region is experiencing a construction boom, with ambitious projects reshaping its urban landscapes. From revitalizing historic sites to constructing modern infrastructure, the region is embracing construction as a driver of economic growth.


With each building rising skyward, there is an ever-growing demand for more materials, tools and equipment to support these projects, and that's where you come in!


In our upcoming West Balkans DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you'll find new construction site depots across a few different cities. From various buildings to wind farms, there'll be no shortage of jobs for truckers in this part of the world.


Just as important as the active construction sites themselves are the depots which provide the necessary equipment and materials needed for the job. Players will be able to pick up loads from material store depots, such as warehouses and shops with the necessary cargo needed for the receiver.


Our asset team has also been hard at work constructing and creating new assets for these depots, to really bring them to life. We hope you enjoy the work and detail that has been put into this booming industry in the West Balkans.


Fancy reading up on some the newest infrastructure to be completed in the West Balkans? Why not check out our recent blog on Bridges, which contains the recently constructed Pelješac Bridge. While we're still hard at work completing this upcoming DLC, you can also help out by adding the West Balkans DLC to your Steam Wishlist. It really helps support our projects, so thank you if you already have. We'll see you on the roads until next time!

Among other changes in the upcoming rework of German cities in Euro Truck Simulator 2, you will also be able to set out on a captivating journey through the reimagined city of Kiel. In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of the extensive work of our map designers and show you how they managed to bring the city up to the current standards.


Kiel is a city rich in history and enchanting charm, situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northern Germany. With its origins dating back to the 13th century, Kiel has a fascinating past that has shaped its present-day character. Initially a small fishing village, it flourished into a bustling maritime hub renowned for shipbuilding, trade, and naval prowess.

The reworked Kiel has undergone a complete transformation after being rebuilt from the ground up. The surrounding roads and highways have been revamped, along with the layout of the city, which provides a new driving route through a residential area that leads to a bustling shopping zone and the heart of the city. The market zone features a service station and a supermarket depot, catering to all truckers' needs.


As you continue your journey, you will reach the central area of Kiel, where the Gablenzbrücke bridge offers a breathtaking view of Kiel Central Station and the panoramic beauty of the city with a number of landmarks. Just a short distance from the historic district, you can explore the newly designed port area, featuring a shipyard depot with landmark vessels and submarines. We hope the authenticity and charm of the port area will add to the overall experience of discovering Kiel's maritime heritage.


The garage in Kiel has been relocated close to the shore, providing not only a place to stay at a convenient location but also a mesmerizing view of Kiel Central Station and the opposite shore of the city. Additionally, strategically placed depots, including an IKA depot on the outskirts and the Load Unload Plaza in the city center, ensure efficient cargo operations.


The second phase of the rework of the German cities is arriving in the 1.48 update, and we hope you are really eager to get your chance of exploring a number of cities in a new way.

As you may know, a part of our map team have been busy reworking Germany, to bring it up to our current map standards. Today, we are happy to share with you an exciting project which we have worked closely with our friends at Feldbinder on. Let's take a closer look shall we?


Welcome to Winsen, a charming town located southeast of Hamburg, and home to the renowned Feldbinder factory; which we are happy to announce, will be available for owners of the Feldbinder DLC in the upcoming 1.48 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our map team have worked together with the team at Feldbinder to recreate this facility in-game with as accurately as possible.


Its real life counterpart, covers a massive 90000 m² area of industrial real estate, including a crane-accessible hall space, which hosts operations associated with the processing of aluminium for special silo trucks of any volume. Along with the vehicle production process, this facility is also home to all of the central functions associated with sales and administration of Feldbinder, as well as the central department associated with the global sales of spare parts.


Drivers in Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be able to deliver to and from 2 new depots within the factory area, one for dropping off much needed cargo, parts and more, and another area for picking up brand new trailers fresh off the factory line to deliver to businesses and customers around Europe.


A small part of the surrounding suburb of Winsen has also been recreated by our map team. Whilst this area is more a scenic pass through, we are sure you'll still find it pleasant to drive through.


We'd like to thank the wonderful team at Feldbinder for all their help on this project. Without them, it wouldn't of been possible! We can't wait for you to explore it all for yourselves. We'll be sure to let you know once its ready. Until then, keep on truckin'!

We really appreciate the positive feedback you provided us with after the last blog post dedicated to the Switzerland Rework project. We figured we could hype you up even more by showing you even more images from the local Alps and preparing the bravest among you for a challenging trip through the alpine roads.


Despite being surrounded by wonderful nature the alpine roads of Switzerland are not for the faint-hearted. Prepare yourself for a true adventure as you navigate the winding paths at dangerous heights. We don’t mean to scare you but you'll need nerves of steel and unparalleled skill to conquer these challenging routes. The hairpin turns, narrow passages, and potentially bad weather conditions will put your driving prowess to the test.


Well, will you be up to the challenge? If so, let us know in the comments here or on social media.
