We are happy to share another piece of the puzzle from the upcoming Greece map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today, we would like to show you some beautiful churches and shrines that are an inseparable part of the country's ancient history.
Our teams did an excellent job modelling these amazing architectural gems for the Greece DLC while taking inspiration from real-world locations like the Pantocrator Cathedral in Lixouri, the Church of Panagia and the Church of Saint Dionysius in Argostolion. Not only are the churches an incredible part of the country's architecture but they also have a long tradition and is actively in use as almost the entire Greek population is religious.
Apart from churches, there will also be plenty of shrines that can be found scattered along the roads across all of Greece. These little boxes, sometimes designed as a miniature chapel or church, usually have a burning lamp inside them, as well as images of saints and some flowers. These shrines have multiple purposes such as to commemorate victims of road accidents or invite passersbys for a prayer.
We hope you are looking forward to seeing these churches and shrines on your travels through this Mediterranean gem when it releases.
Remember that the content captured in the screenshots you see here is still a work in progress and may change before the final release. 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. Safe travels!

We are excited to share with you that a new game module for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will be introduced with the 1.52 update - Driving Academy. This free update will include sets of scenarios which we hope will teach our players a thing or two about driving and maneuvering a truck in a fun and captivating way.
We are venturing into new territory, inspired by years of feedback from players who have told us that our games have helped them grasp the basics of truck driving. Many have used it to get a sense of handling a truck and trailer, learning how to maneuver and reverse. With this in mind, we thought we'd take it a step further by introducing a series of challenges specifically designed to improve and expand these skills.
Driving Academy will help players learn to drive a truck, from basic driving to navigating intricate courses and complex parking maneuvers with a detailed explanation via driving instructions including diagrams, pointers, and directions. This new game module will provide you with various scenarios of increasing difficulty inspired by instructions given to real-life students. We also wanted to enable drivers to analyze their drive so we have also implemented a new replay feature into this game module as well.
As we mentioned above, we are testing the waters with Driving Academy, but if we get positive feedback from our community, we would love to continue creating additional scenarios and special challenges in the future that real-life truck drivers may encounter on the road. Our dream is for this game module to offer a deeper understanding of both truck driving and the underlying systems, as well as when to use them. But that is still a long way to go.
We also plan to explore this new game module in our live streams, create a special explanatory video, and the topic may also be explored in an Under the Hood blog post, explaining our thought process and production challenges. So you will want to be on the lookout on our channels so you do not miss out on this exclusive content that will also take you behind the scenes - follow us on our X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.
We hope you will appreciate this new feature, enjoy it when it is released and maybe even learn something new about trucking. Until then, happy travels!
Today, we're excited to bring innovation and modern technology to the world of virtual trucking. As you may remember, last year, KRONE Trailers invited us to be a part of their trailer technology revolution, giving us an insight into their work with Trailer Dynamics, and today we are excited to fulfill our promise by implementing it into the KRONE Trailer Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Introducing the KRONE eTrailer! This collaboration between Krone Trailers and Trailer Dynamics has resulted in special electrified trailers that reduce the diesel consumption and CO2 emissions of a semitrailer tractor by 20 to 40 percent.
The core of this is a powerful electric drivetrain, which supports the drive of the semitrailer and tractor while also recovering braking energy through recuperation. The eAxis delivers 360 kW continuously and up to 580 kW at peak.
For now, the KRONE eTrailer will only be available on the Freight Market, for shorter jobs under 350km and when hauling certain cargoes only. Players who find these job contracts will have the choice of two of these revolutionary Krone eTrailers, the eDry Liner and the eCool Liner. We look forward to having you experience how big of an improvement this provides for your fuel economy, as well as how powerful these trailers are!
We cannot thank our partners at KRONE Trailer enough for allowing us to bring their revolutionary eTrailer into Euro Truck Simulator 2, and we praise them for delivering the future and for leading the way with more economical and cleaner technology on our roads.
We'd love to see you trucking in Euro Truck Simulator 2 with KRONE eTrailers! Be sure to tag KRONE Trailers and our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok with any screenshots & videos, as we'd love to repost them. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the Krone Trailer Pack below!

Today, we're happy to share with you another blogpost focusing on one of the many cities which will be found in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Today, we're headed to Norway to give you a first look at the city of Bodø! 
Located just north of the Arctic Circle, Bodø is the second biggest city in Northern Norway after Tromsø. Originally established as a trading town, it has a rich history in fishing and mining, which gave the town prosperity. During World War II, much of the town was unfortunately destroyed, but it has been completely rebuilt and enlarged, with a few surviving structures preserved. These can be found in our virtual recreation of Bodø as custom built buildings. 
During the 1940's, due to the lack of housing, the Swedish Government helped build 107 apartments. This small area now known as Svenskebyen can be found in the heart of the city.
Today, Bodø is a bustling and vibrant city, with plenty of roads, landmarks and industries for truckers in our upcoming DLC to explore and discover. From the Stormen Concert Hall to the Aviation Musuem, we are sure you'll enjoy the sightseeing opportunities!
But let's not forget that we have work to do! As a trucker, you'll be able to find job contracts and deliver to depots at the City Airport, supermarket, the Yacht builders' Shipyard and more. If you enjoy your stay in Bodø, consider purchasing a garage in the city as your new headquarters or as an expansion to your current company. 
We hope you enjoyed checking out the city of Bodø in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you are excited to get trucking in this region, be sure to add to your Steam Wishlist. Until next time, keep on truckin'!

We are excited to share with our community that the 1.51 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released! Packed with new content, reworked map sections, UI changes, bug fixes and more, let's dive in and take a look at what's in store.
Before that, we have to give a huge shoutout to everyone who participated in the Open Beta phase, shared feedback, and reported bugs. Your invaluable contributions have allowed us to fine-tune content and eliminate bugs that slipped through the cracks initially. We hope that you will enjoy the new features, changes, and more that come with this update!
A new SCS On The Road episode has just arrived! We are reporting from Burtenbach, Germany, where we met up with Kögel Trailer at their factory, to give you an exclusive and in-depth walk-around of their Cargo Rail trailer.
We also just released the Kögel Trailer Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2 last week, so you can already haul goods with the beautiful Kögel trailers in our game as the DLC is available on Steam! You can read more about it here.
In this episode hosted by Nemiro, we travelled to Germany to take a look around Kögel Trailer's factory. We also had the pleasure to meet with Sebastian Hönig, Kögel's product manager who has been working there for all his professional career. Of course, we could not miss out on this great opportunity and asked Sebastian to show us their amazing Cargo Rail trailer in detail. What is so special about this trailer? Let's find out!
The 1.51 update will bring a change to the way controllers work in both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. We are enhancing the controller settings system, which will enable players to control the game with ease and offer them more flexibility and control. These changes will also pave the way for exciting future projects!
These updates will introduce some new features designed to improve the overall gameplay experience for players using controllers. One of the key improvements is the addition of preset settings for modifiers, which will allow players to control essential game features directly through the controller and comfortably play the game without the need for a keyboard or other device.
Not only will you now be able to control more game features while using only your controller, but we also tried to set up the controls in a way that resembles driving a vehicle in real life which we hope will be natural and more immersive for you!
Although these changes will improve the controller settings and make it easier for players using controllers to engage with the game, there may be some cases where customized control settings could be affected. Unfortunately, players who have heavily modified their control layouts through the Steam controller configuration UI and shifted them from the default settings may see their custom configurations reset to default after the update.
Although issues like this can happen, we hope you will enjoy the exciting future projects that this update will enable us to develop. Until then, make sure to stay up to date on any news by following us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
In our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, you'll discover a variety of unique industries throughout the country. In today's blog, we want to highlight one of the larger factories where drivers can deliver to and from. Let's take a closer look!
Located in the northern area of Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, you'll find a pretty sizeable Cement Plant! Built and established in 1962, the plant supports 300+ direct and indirect jobs for the local economy and beyond. Its virtual creation in the Greece DLC has been built by our talented teams and features custom Landmark models, a detailed layout, and a recreation of one of the largest-scaled artistic mural projects in Europe, which spans across many of the buildings in the plant.
This impressive industry can be seen from across the city, including from the highway; it simply cannot be missed! You can be sure to find plenty of job contracts available to and from this plant, as it is one of the leading producers of cement in the country. 
We hope you enjoyed this look into one of the larger industries you'll find in our upcoming Greece DLC, and we look forward to sharing more previews from this work-in-progress addition in the near future. Until then, if you'd like to support our development, you can do so by adding the Greece DLC to your Steam Wishlist! Thank you to all those who have done already. Until next time, keep on truckin'!
