SCS On The Road: Renault Trucks Engine Plant
by London
We’re back with a new episode of our SCS On The Road series, and this time we’re taking you behind the scenes at the Renault Trucks Engine Plant in Lyon, France! During our visit to SOLUTRANS last year (a major transport and logistics expo), our friends at Renault Trucks kindly invited us on a special tour of their Engine Plant, which we’re excited to share with you today! Join Nemiro, our PR & Marketing Manager, and Patrice Berger-Perrin from Renault Trucks' Corporate Communications team as we begin with a visit to their historic museum, located in one of the company’s oldest buildings, designed and constructed in 1916. The museum showcases the rich timeline of Renault, highlighting the vehicles and innovations that have shaped the brand for over a century. Following the museum visit, the tour continues into the heart of the production line, where we explore how Renault Truck engines (and others) are built, from the initial stages of assembly to the final quality checks. Along the way...
Euro Truck Simulator 2 dev confirms coaches as an entirely new way to play
When we released our teaser titled “Next Stop: ETS2,” the community instantly understood what it signalled, and today we’re excited to confirm it. Project Coaches is now officially in development, marking the start of a brand-new driving experience within Euro Truck Simulator 2. This new addition will offer players a whole new way to explore and work in the ETS2 world. Instead of hauling cargo, you’ll be stepping into the role of a coach driver. While we’re still early in the development process, many elements are still evolving behind the scenes. We've already begun laying the foundation, from creating several coach models with characteristic handling to developing a network of bus terminals across the map (which many of you have noticed for a long time now). We're even reworking some older coach station prefabs from the ground up to better fit this new gameplay. If you're interested in learning more about how this idea came to life and where it's headed, we highly recommend watching ...

12 years after teasing buses were coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2, they finally arrive
by
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. Read more
Euro Truck Simulator 2 teases a new way to play that could change the game
by editor@pcgamesn.com
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. Read the rest of the story...

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...

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...

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...
