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.


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.








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!

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.




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.





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'!

We're excited to announce that Scania Trucks will be joining our electric line up in Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the Scania 40 S and 45 S Battery Electric Vehicle, which are now available to drive through the Quick Jobs section in-game. Ready for some new energy? Let's take a closer look at this new addition!


The Scania 40 S and 45 S featured in ETS2 are based on the Scania S‑series with a 4x2 Chassis and features a six-speed transmission combined with three electric motors with a continuous power output of 400/450 kW (540/610 hp). With a battery capacity of 624 kWh, it can achieve a distance of up to 520km in a single journey, depending on the Gross Weight of the Trailer.




The interior comes with a few specific changes for the electric variant. BEV-specific gauges are introduced alongside a refreshed interior that includes Blind Spot Indicators built into the A‑pillars, an electronic parking brake, as well as some smaller changes to the drivers dashboard.



We're also happy to share that our team have re-created a special paintjob which will be applied to the Scania S BEV. Drivers can enjoy trucking and making deliveries with the 'Take Charge' livery, which features a 'Glacier White' & Blue gradient and the texts '100% Electric' & 'Take Charge'.




We hope that you enjoy this special and unique addition to the Electric Trucks line-up in Euro Truck Simulator 2! We eagerly await our community's feedback on its quietness, acceleration, behaviour, and smoothness and hope you will enjoy experiencing a new energy in-game.

As previously talked about, transitioning to electric vehicles poses unique challenges in our virtual realm. While our team continues to work hard to support electric vehicles infrastructure, gas stations initially designed for traditional fuel vehicles, can't easily become electric charging stations without major modifications.



Currently, we're embarking on an experimental phase with our initial steps toward in-game electrification. That is why the Scania 40 S and 45 S BEV, along with a few other electric trucks planned for the future, will be introduced in a special mode and will be accessible only through the Quick Jobs section with delivery lengths limited to 350 km. In case you run out of power while on the road, we have implemented an emergency recharging service that can help you out for a fee. Our cautious approach ensures a smooth experience as we gradually integrate electric vehicles into our virtual world.


This update will not reset the in-game economy, so it may take some time for a quick job with the new electric Scania to appear in your game. Please be patient and allow some in-game time to pass if you don't see a quick job with this new truck right away.


We hope you enjoy trucking with the Scania S BEV in Euro Truck Simulator 2! Be sure to share your photos of your first journey with us and Scania Trucks on X/Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Until next time, keep on truckin'.

Welcome to the city of Mytilene, where a harmonious blend of natural beauty and urban charm awaits every visitor. Today we're excited to share with you more about this city, which truckers will be able to travel to in our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2.


As one of the oldest cities dating back to ancient times in Greece, you'll find plenty of history there, from its coastline to the architecture of the buildings, many of which reflects its diverse history, featuring a mix of neoclassical buildings, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman-era mansions.




Our team has replicated the city centre located by the waterfront with high accuracy, including the narrow roads and the many restaurants, bars, hotels that are located there. Players will also be able to spot some famous landmarks on their journey too, such as the Rouselleio Municipal Theater or the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Therapon.






Drivers will be able to find industries to deliver to and from not only in the city, but beyond too. From small local businesses to large commerces, you won't find a shortage of job contracts on your travels throughout Greece.




We look forward to featuring more of the cities, industries and more from our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you like what you see, be sure to add Greece to your Steam Wishlist, as it really supports us and our future releases. We thank you for your support. Until next time, keep on truckin'.

We're very excited to share with you a special SCS On The Road episode, which confirms which vehicle was seen and shared in our recent 'New Truck Spotted in ETS2' blog post. As many of you guessed correctly, we're happy to announce that the First Fully Electric Scania Truck will be coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2!


In this episode, we return to Sweden to give you a behind the scenes look at the process our team undertake to collect important reference material, and how we record audio for a new truck. This all took place at the famous Scania Demo Centre located in Södertälje. We'd like to express our gratitude to all those involved at Scania who made this trip and project possible! We look forward to sharing the end results in the future.


Much like previous additions, the Scania S Battery Electric Vehicle will be accessible only through the Quick Jobs section, as we continue to work on making changes to the in-game world to fully support electric vehicles.

We hope you've enjoyed watching this special Behind The Scenes episode. We look forward to producing more episodes in the near future. Be sure to follow us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to be notified of all the latest news and releases. Until then, we'll see you on the road!

We have some exciting news for our #BestCommunityEver! Rumour has it, that a new truck was spotted on the virtual European roads and it's heading your way. One NPC managed to take a photo of it passing by. Let's take a look!


This new truck remains shrouded in mystery. Its quick acceleration and silence make it difficult to spot and observe in detail. As seen in the photo, no one has managed to capture a clearer image yet. Our sources report that this truck is ideal for regional and intercity deliveries. Can you help us identify this yet-to-be-named truck?

We hope you are looking forward to the arrival of a new truck to the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2! Don't forget to stay tuned for more updates by following us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The work is not stopping on the Germany Rework project for Euro Truck Simulator 2. While we previously reworked the Rhine region for the 1.50 update, we are moving on to other areas. This time, we would like to share with you the progress we made in the city of Bremen and its surroundings.


Bremen is a historic city located in the northern part of Germany near the North Sea on the Weser River. The city is renowned for its picturesque medieval architecture, including the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Bremen Town Hall and Roland Statue.







In Euro Truck Simulator 2, the whole city was completely rebuilt from the ground up. As part of this transformation, we added the port of Bremerhaven to the map, located approximately 60 km to the north of Bremen, which is one of Europe's foremost car transshipment hubs. More than 2 million cars are imported or exported through this port every year.






Truckers delivering cargo in and out of Bremen will come across a completely new intersection leading into the city which was transformed to better represent its real-life counterpart. As you navigate it, you will also be able to get a peek at the vibrant historic city center and drive through some beautiful parts of Bremen.








Another part we wanted to focus on was the economy in and around the city. We made an effort to simulate a more realistic economy by incorporating industries located in this area such as a car factory, a beverage factory, and the river port situated on the Weser River.









We are eager to explore this reworked part of Germany once it is released and hope you are too! But keep in mind that everything you see here is still a work in progress and can change. Until then, don't forget to stay tuned for more updates by following us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. We will see you on the road!
