IAA Transportation 2024

From the 17th to the 24th of September, we will be visiting the leading exhibition for logistics, commercial vehicles, and the transport sector, the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover, Germany! We plan to fill the IAA week with new content releases, live streams, SCS On The Road episodes, and live updates from the event. So we are sorry if your Steam client will initiate a bit more updates than usual but we really have a lot to release during that week!

Although we will not have our own booth at the expo, we will join a few of our valued partners who have reached out to us with a request to help them at their booth. Remember to stop by if you are there!

You will find us at the Scania booth with one of our 4D motion simulators where everyone will get the chance to experience their fully electric truck Scania S BEV (amongst others) in our ETS2 recreation of the iconic Scania Demo Centre in Södertälje. We're also teaming up with JOST, where another of our simulators will help introduce and demonstrate their cutting-edge KKS technology.

Our collaboration with Kögel will showcase the Kögel Trailer Pack DLC through a short, entertaining demo of ETS2 at their booth with another one of our 4D motion simulators. The fourth motion simulator where visitors can try out our game will be located at the booth of our partners from Wielton.

But that's not all! We are bringing some free copies of our game and some of our best and biggest trailer pack DLCs to the Schmitz Cargobull and Krone Trailer booths where you will be able to win them along with  IAA 2024, ETS2 & Krone & Trailer Dynamics merchandise. We also plan to do something cool with our friends from Kässbohrer at their booth, so be sure to drop by there as well!

It's shaping up to be an incredibly busy week for the automotive industry, and we believe it's the perfect moment for us to join the excitement and contribute as much as we can through the virtual world of Euro Truck Simulator 2. As we mentioned before, keep your eyes peeled for our social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube) for some exclusive content and new releases during that time. You don't want to miss those!

SCS On the Road: Schmitz Cargobull S.KO COOL Walk-Around

We have teamed up with Schmitz Cargobull to bring their renowned trailers into Euro Truck Simulator 2 as a trailer pack DLC and now, we invite you to take an exclusive walk-around of one of their famous models, the Schmitz Cargobull S.KO COOL!

In today's SCS On The Road episode, Oscar interviewed Carsten Krieger, product manager at Schmitz Cargobull who has worked there since 1991. Carsten walked us around their famous reefer trailer S.KO COOL which is used to transport fresh and frozen goods, such as fruit, vegetables, meat, and even pharmaceuticals.

We would like to thank Carsten for his time and expertise in showing us this trailer as well as the whole of Schmitz Cargobull for their cooperation in bringing these works of art into Euro Truck Simulator 2! Now without further ado, let's watch the episode.

Don't forget that you can get this trailer along with plenty of other ones and cabin accessories as part of the Schmitz Cargobull Trailer Pack DLC on Steam right now! Remember to follow us on our social media and also follow us there (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube), so you won't miss out on any upcoming SCS On The Road episodes and other Euro Truck Simulator 2 news.

Missouri - Truck Stops #2

Driving into Missouri? Well, don't forget to fill up your tank and enjoy the hospitality of the Show-Me State at one of its many truck stops! We already showed you some of the truck stops in our first blog, but now it is time to uncover the curtain more.

In this blog, we're giving you a sneak peek at six more rest stops waiting for you in Missouri, all meticulously designed by our team to faithfully replicate their real-world counterparts. These stops can be found along major routes such as I-29, U.S. Route 36, or U.S. Route 65, plus a completely brand-new one located just outside Jefferson City.

We're curious if any truckers from our #BestCommunityEver living in or frequently passing through Missouri will recognize these truck stops. Have you spotted a familiar location? Share with us in the comments - we'd love to hear from you!

So don't forget to visit these places when you are hauling cargo in the Show-Me State, grab yourself a coffee and a snack, rest through the night or just take a look around you when not in a rush! As a professional truck driver, we hope these stops will make you feel right at home.

We can't wait to explore Missouri once it is released in ATS! Want to show us that you are also looking forward to trucking in this map expansion? Then add it to your Steam Wishlist! Remember to follow us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, so you won't miss out on any American Truck Simulator news. Safe travels!

Kässbohrer Trailer Pack DLC Work in Progress Update #2

Kässbohrer is coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 and today, we are happy to provide you with a small update on the progress of this DLC. If you haven't previously read the first blog on this announcement, you can take a look at it here.

We're happy to share that the Kässbohrer Trailer Pack is in its final stages before release! Our team has been working hard to polish a few parts before we send it for approval. We believe it shouldn't be too long before you will be able to haul with Kässbohrer yourself.

If you haven't already, be sure to follow our official Social Media Channels on X/Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to be notified when the DLC will be released! However, as you may know, IAA Transportation isn't too far away, so it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that it may be released around that time.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation and thanks to our contacts and the wonderful team at Kässbohrer. Their excitement and dedication to this project were evident as they even visited our new offices for a few days to assist with the creation of this DLC by addressing additional details and questions that our team had. Their work has greatly supported us, and we cannot thank them enough for all the time and effort they dedicated towards helping us. 

We hope you enjoyed reading this small update, and we look forward to releasing the Kässbohrer Trailer Pack DLC in the near future. Let us know which trailer you'd like to haul first! Until then, keep on truckin'.
