Coaches Release

The doors are open, the engines are running, and it's time to welcome passengers on board! We're thrilled to announce that our highly anticipated Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is officially arriving today, bringing a brand-new way to experience the roads of Europe!

The Coaches DLC will be released 
today at approximately 18:10 CET
09:10 PST, 12:10 EST, 17:10 GMT, 21:10 GST, 01:10⁺¹ CST, 02:10⁺¹ JST, 04:10⁺¹ AEDT, 06:10⁺¹ NZDT

This is a special moment for our team and our community. Bringing Coaches to Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been a long-standing ambition, and one that many of you, our players, have been looking forward to for years! Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our talented teams, we're incredibly happy to finally invite you to take your seat behind the wheel and begin your journey as a professional coach driver.



With the Coaches DLC, you'll have the opportunity to drive three officially licensed coach vehicles, each of which have been recreated in detail with their own unique characteristics and customisation options. Get behind the wheel of the:

• Scania Touring
• Volvo 9700 DD
• MAN Lion's Coach

Whether you're travelling between bustling European cities or taking passengers along scenic countryside roads, there's a whole new experience waiting for you! Get started with Quick Jobs to earn money towards purchasing and customising your very own coach. 

Once you've got your own vehicle, you can take on Contract Jobs, operating scheduled passenger services with timetables to follow and multiple stops along the way. Prefer something a little more relaxed? Tourist Jobs let you take passengers on sightseeing trips to famous landmarks and attractions across Europe, where you'll also be able to enjoy the view too!

But there's more to being a successful coach driver than just reaching your destination! With passengers on board, your driving style matters more than ever. Keep your journeys smooth, take corners carefully, avoid harsh braking, and make sure everyone arrives comfortably and on time. Your passengers will certainly let you know if the ride gets a little too exciting!

To help bring this new experience to life, our teams have also made various changes to our Euro Truck Simulator 2 world, including new and updated bus stations, tourist stops at various landmarks and other improvements to accommodate coach travel across the map.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our partners at Scania, Volvo Buses, and MAN for their cooperation in bringing these iconic vehicles to Euro Truck Simulator 2. A huge thank you also goes to our talented developers, sound engineers, artists, programmers, testers, and everyone involved in making this project a reality.

And this is just the beginning of the journey! We have plenty more planned for the Coaches DLC, including more licensed coach vehicles, customisation options, and new features in the future. Rather than releasing these additions as separate DLCs, we plan to continue expanding and updating the existing Coaches DLC over time. We're excited for what lies ahead, and we can't wait to share more with you as this new chapter of Euro Truck Simulator 2 continues to grow!

Now, the passengers are waiting, and it's time for you to take the wheel!

Release Live Stream

All aboard for a special Coaches DLC release livestream! Join us today from 3pm CET as we celebrate this exciting new addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2 alongside some of the developers who helped bring it to life. 

We'll be chatting about the development process, sharing behind-the-scenes insights, and of course, taking our new coaches out on the roads of Europe! Then, to round off the stream, we'll officially release the Coaches DLC together, bringing you a live feed from our offices where we will push the release button and celebrate. We hope to see you there!

We can't wait to see your first journeys, your customised coaches, and the destinations you choose to explore. Be sure to share your screenshots and videos with us on our social media channels, and let us know which coach you'll be driving first. Thank you for your continued support, and from all of us at SCS Software, we wish you a pleasant journey. See you on the road!

Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack Release

We are excited to reveal that we have just released the Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack DLC, along with the Route 66 Bundle, for American Truck Simulator, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the legendary highway, while contributing to a good cause!

During its heyday, Route 66 stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles, becoming one of the most iconic highways in the world. On November 11, we mark the 100th anniversary of the day Route 66 was officially established as part of the U.S. Highway System. To celebrate this milestone, the Route 66 Centennial Commission has brought together a range of official projects that help preserve, showcase, and share the story of this legendary road with the world.

Since the release of our Illinois DLC this May, we have also recreated the full length of Route 66 in American Truck Simulator, giving players the chance to experience this historic highway in-game. Earlier this year, our work was recognised as an Official Route 66 Centennial Project. This designation, approved by the United States government and Congress, places American Truck Simulator among the initiatives honouring the legacy of Route 66 as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.

To further support the Mother Road and its legacy beyond the virtual world, we are introducing the Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack. Proceeds from the pack will go towards the American Truck Simulator Grant Program, run by the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership, established by the United States Congress. The program will provide funding to eligible businesses and events along Route 66, helping them restore, maintain, and preserve this historic highway. We would also like to extend a huge thank you to William from the Route 66 Centennial Commission for working with us to make this possible.

The Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack features five unique designs inspired by this legendary highway, along with a range of themed accessories. Whether you're cruising through historic towns or taking in the sights along the way, these paint jobs and accessories are a great way to show your love for Route 66 and join in the centennial celebrations!

Deck out your truck with these paint jobs:

• Postcard Kicks
• Ultimate Roadtrip
• Pier to Pier
• Golden Route
• Century Run

Decorate your cabin with these Route 66-themed accessories:

• Route 66 Mug
• Route 66 Cap
• Route 66 Thermos
• Route 66 Air Freshener (also available for personal cars in Road Trip DLCs)

Route 66 Bundle

But that's not all! If you're looking to experience the full length of Route 66 but are missing some of the DLCs, we're introducing the Route 66 Bundle! It includes the American Truck Simulator base game, the Route 66 Paint Jobs Pack, and the Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona map DLCs. With California already included in the base game, this bundle gives you everything you need to follow Route 66 from Santa Monica all the way to Chicago.

Cruise Route 66 in style with the new paint jobs while discovering the beauty of the Mother Road and the diverse landscapes and sights of each state along the way! And don't forget, the bundle works as a "Complete the Set" bundle on Steam, so you'll only pay for the content you don't already own!

Today, we bring you a really BIG preview as we showcase the 2025 RAM 1500 Laramie, which will be coming to American Truck Simulator with the upcoming release of the Road Trip: RAM & Dodge DLC!

The 2025 RAM 1500 Laramie is a full-size American pickup with a spacious cabin, bold styling, and plenty of power under the hood.

You'll be able to choose from five versions of the Laramie: Standard, Night Edition, Sport Appearance, Southwest Edition, and Chrome Appearance Package. Each has its own look, so there's room to find a style that suits you. The Standard and Chrome packages keep things classic with chrome details, while the Sport Appearance package gives the pickup a sportier look. If you prefer darker details, the Night Edition is another option to consider.

You can customise your RAM even further with a range of exterior and interior colours to choose from. We are also adding plenty of accessories for you to explore, including side steps, aftermarket fenders, bed add-ons, bull bars, and roof accessories.

Inside, the Laramie features a comfortable and luxurious-looking cabin with leather, metal, and carbon-fibre elements, making it an eye-pleasing place to spend time behind the wheel, whether you're heading out for a longer courier job or just enjoying the scenic route when discovering beautiful exploration locations with the Atlas feature.
