Nordic Horizons: Tornio and Haparanda

by London

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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/45b8e3320db464c5df51ea0f8339bbdeb3ffbcda.jpg 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/1965e169fcacd4e04ae50f51da1044b70b5fa4ab.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/dc0dadab8a707d9f3305d087689b2e1e589d9525.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/20c3f15b3671aa2008df1687a02196fa9555cecf.jpg When travelling through these cities, you’ll be able to drive a...

SCS On The Road: Bauma 2025 Vlog

by London

Today, we're excited to release a new episode of our SCS On The Road series! This time, we’re taking you along on our recent trip to Bauma 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles, and construction equipment, held at the Munich Exhibition Center! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/ff91d56a44a46a0031d2e18a9efbe902bff84a46.jpg This event is renowned as the largest trade fair in the construction industry, attracting over 3,200 exhibitors from more than 60 countries. In addition to exploring the impressive range of vocational vehicles, advanced machinery, and cutting-edge technology on display, our famous 4D motion simulator also made an appearance at Schwarzmüller's booth, while Scania hosted Euro Truck Simulator 2 with their own unique simulator, and Schmitz Cargobull gave away ETS2 Steam Keys to visitors. It was great to see ETS2 having a precense across the show floor! Join Oscar, Nemiro, and Petr as the...

1.55: FH Tuning Pack Update

by Tiktak

We have some exciting news for the upcoming 1.55 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Alongside this base game update, new content will be released for owners of the FH Tuning Pack DLC. This includes an upgrade to some current parts as well as the addition of new customization parts for your Volvo FH trucks! The current parts will also be available for the newest Volvo FH Series 6. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/42db57ba264e2c2288c8599e7c474642acbd3bda.jpg This tuning pack was last updated alongside the rework of the Volvo FH Series 4 last year. When the Volvo FH Series 5 and 6 were introduced to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in December, we updated the DLC to support the FH Series 5 at launch. Now, we're bringing full compatibility to the Volvo FH Series 6 as well, so you'll be able to customize every Volvo FH truck with a wide range of tuning parts! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/21d692c1db53e7af98cafd0868976684ab9e9b05.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/8c7901f4404ad99faa8a4fe20dd16a4905355aa2.jpg But t...

Project Benelux Rework: Port of Rotterdam

by Tiktak

Looking forward to trucking in the reworked Benelux in ETS2? Although it is a little early for that, as this project is still a work in progress, we are happy to show you a glimpse of the work our map designers have done so far. Today, we would like to share our work on the Port of Rotterdam! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/7d4a52d1a7d9b59f90b590811efc9b2fde0904fc.jpg The port is located in the second-largest city of the Netherlands, and from its beginnings as a fishing port in the 15th century, it turned into the biggest seaport in Europe! The area it covers is impressive in itself - over 40 kilometres long and 10 kilometres wide. The port accommodates around 130,000 river ships and approximately 30,000 oceangoing ships every year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/f894fc1a52a0cbb894b40a4edf32e83c6d2f8d41.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/b76f8f619ef255dc32dab3554af900a9e3ac5373.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/4cae2b579a1c15cd38884863d1054c9924758e37.jpg In 2022, the port handled 467 million tons of ...

Project Scandinavia Refresh: Road Network

by Tiktak

Earlier this year, we announced our Scandinavia Refresh project for Euro Truck Simulator 2, aiming to bring major improvements to one of our earliest DLCs. Since then, we’ve shared a Meet the Team blog to introduce the workforce behind the project, but today, we’re excited to share with you a look at some of the road networks we’ve been working on! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/43a299e816c48b174aee476d5712cfa2e447c730.jpg Before we get into the details, please keep in mind that everything you see here is still very much a work in progress and are subject to change. That said, let’s have a closer look at some of the refreshed road networks, shall we? When the original Scandinavia DLC was first created, most of its junctions were built using the same prefabs, meaning that many of the intersections players drove through felt very similar. For the Refresh, we decided to take a much more detailed approach; all the old prefabs have been removed, and in their place, we’ve built custom-made junct...

Nordic Horizons: Andenes

by Tiktak

Ready for a trip up north? Today, we take you to Norway for a brief visit to the picturesque town of Andenes, which will be included in our upcoming Nordic Horizons map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Let's see what's in store! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/52dff818bd7da800f3c12311d434ed01e2882925.jpg This beautiful town is located on the northernmost part of the Andøya island and boasts a population of around 2,500 people. Once an important fishing hub, Andenes has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years, thanks to its breathtaking landscape - green mountains and rolling hills on one side, and the vast, beautiful sea dotted with dozens of small islands on the other. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/5620e7af645ff95c5ebd9cf881058373cde7136c.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/9f5a64ee1fb0036b1915dc31bb29ff5ab63cf8af.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/dbced87c24f4e07dcdc8595cafb21cc15792541f.jpg Andenes is also home to the large Andøya Air Station, which first opened in the 1950s a...

SCS On The Road: World of Volvo

by London

Today, we're excited to release a new episode of our SCS On The Road series! Join us in Gothenburg, Sweden, as we take a guided tour of World of Volvo, a brand-new automotive museum and experience centre that highlights the legacy of both Volvo Cars and the Volvo Group. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/96381a432d0a16a3e78c515504ffa2f871888373.jpg Join Oscar, our Director of Global Partnerships, along with Povel, a guide at World of Volvo, to explore the museum’s spaces and exhibitions. Spanning 236,000 square feet, World of Volvo embraces Scandinavian design, from its use of natural wood to expansive windows that flood the space with daylight, the experience centre is seamlessly integrated with the natural world. The exhibition features iconic vehicles, interactive art installations, and hands-on experiences, including the chance to operate a real electric excavator, test your balance on a moving bus, or dock a boat in virtual reality. There’s something for everyone to discover. We are incre...

ETS2: Async Loading Experimental Beta

by London

As we continue to evolve and expand the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2, we're constantly looking for ways to improve performance, stability, and the overall driving experience. One step we’re taking in this direction is a major change happening under the hood, something that affects how the game loads and handles data in real time. To make sure we get it right, we need your help! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/c5460949443b6e78bf05545b249dedf9a62bafe6.jpg Recently, we have been hard at work implementing a major overhaul in the way our game loads and processes data, a new experimental system we call Asynchronous Loading. This system is designed to improve the loading process by ensuring that the game and loading screens remain uninterrupted while assets are loaded in the background. The primary benefit here is the mitigation of stuttering, resulting in a smoother experience overall. However, due to the complexity and wide-reaching impact of this system on many parts of the game, we need to ...

Happy Easter Egg Hunt!

by Tiktak

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating! This holiday is widely celebrated around the world and is often connected to an Easter egg hunt. Since we wanted to celebrate with you, we prepared a little egg hunt for you as well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/b554402a13da71ceb7ebacbc3e4182246b938d38.jpg In a traditional Easter egg hunt, which is a popular celebration during Easter, people typically hide eggs for others to find. When it comes to games, Easter eggs can encompass a wide range of elements, from hidden jokes and references to movies, celebrities, memes, and other clever surprises. These are usually hidden so not everyone discovers them too easily and feels rewarded if they stumble upon one of them. Our game is not any different - our map designers also add Easter eggs to our maps both in ETS2 and ATS with various references. As a small gift to you this Easter, we wanted to spread a little joy by sharing some of the Easter eggs hidden in our games. When you take a look at the photos, yo...

Nordic Horizons: Roadside Landmarks

by Tiktak

Warning: The Nordic Horizons map expansion contains dangerously beautiful landmarks along the roads! Prolonged staring while driving may result in unintended off-road adventures! In today's blog, we're taking you on a tour of the statues, sculptures, and other roadside wonders you can spot while cruising through the northernmost part of Europe in Euro Truck Simulator 2! We previously showed you some of our city landmarks and now it's time for more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/95ff90b6b65a9f3f3f0d9781be969b1127cb3799.jpg A pretty common occurrence in this part of Europe are various sculptures in the middle of roundabouts. That is why our map designers have recreated many of them, and you are sure to see them on your travels. One that is particularly interesting is a stunning sculpture called Lysfontene, or Light Fountain which is located in Norway. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/2cc79ea5d336b3d72ccf6f1eeba89460af455b9d.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/aa220a94cfca18f56a7f220d868d92e5dec0d43b.j...

SCS On The Road: FORVIA HELLA: Let there be light!

by London

Today, we're excited to release a new episode in our SCS On The Road series, and this time, we're on home turf! Join us in both Mohelnice in Czechia and Bočovce in Slovakia as we are given the special opportunity to shine a light on the work of the international automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA, one of the world's biggest producers of headlamps and other light-related products and technology. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/3e26eb5b6989ee4e59f994423b9688f2c3b4d60e.jpg The team at FORVIA HELLA invited us to have a tour of their facilities and to learn about the process of designing headlamps for various vehicles, including trucks. This was such an interesting insight for us that we knew we had to create an SCS On The Road episode for our community to enjoy and learn about. We thank the team at FORVIA HELLA for their kind hospitality and for giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the process of designing light technology products for their clients. We had the opportunity to speak with multiple...

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.54 Update Release

by Tiktak

Today, we are excited to release the 1.54 Update for Euro Truck Simulator 2! After the Open Beta, you can now try out all the features that this update has to offer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/03e88fe2b422fe37f959aa6fa18b019143d04c97.jpg Before we take a look at what's new, we would first like to thank everyone who took part in the Open Beta in the past few weeks. Your feedback really helped us fine-tune everything that was added in this version and made it possible to give you a polished set of features in this update. Now, let's take a look at what's in store! Cargo System Redefined Until now, what seemed like the game combining a trailer with cargo, such as a piece of machinery, was actually a manually created model, with each trailer-cargo pair stored separately on disk. This approach required an enormous number of unique models, making it harder to add new content efficiently and taking up disk space. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/cc381eea01586735c978c0b1c27e4f9eb422badc.jpg {STEAM_C...

Benelux Rework: Meet the Team

This will consist of reworking the countries of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg completely from the ground up. Today, we're happy to introduce to you the team behind this Project, and a little bit about themselves. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4419325/8cd4d5f904b53cfc99936286082849c213a560a2.jpg The team currently consists of eight people, who have been working hard behind the scenes on this task, which is still in its very early stages. If you missed out on the announcement of this project, you can check out the original blogpost here. We figured it would be best to let them introduce themselves in their own words. We hope you enjoy these words for you, our #BestCommunityEver!

Nordic Horizons: Land of Thousand Lakes

by Peter

In today's blog, we're taking you to Finland - often called the Land of a Thousand Lakes, as it has around 187,000 of them! So let us showcase some of the areas we're recreating for the Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/3439f4c5de7f8670a57517d8357cc4740a2a35cf.jpg Finland is a truly beautiful country, with unique and breathtaking landscapes that our map designers are meticulously recreating for ETS2. Did you know that 10% of Finland's landscape is covered by water, while nearly two-thirds is blanketed by forests? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/d1f4125f95e9408c7fdff8ad5a8d5d023146062a.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/47cc950db7f051738aacc971b3e9535fcb9d7d13.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/d32e7fe8ac4d916c51f5f9fe14b7e59991333b1e.jpg Now let's move on to specific locations. The first one we would like to show you today is Lake Inari (Inarijärvi in Finnish) which is nestled in the Finnish Lapland in the northernmost part of the country. It is the third la...
