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!

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'.

Arkansas - Hidden Gems + New Cargoes to Haul

Embark on a journey with us to see some of the hidden gems and new cargoes of Arkansas, our upcoming map expansion for American Truck Simulator. In today's blog, we bring you a sneak peek at some beautiful locations in the Natural State, which won't be so easy to find, as well as some fresh new cargoes you can haul there!

Drivers will have to really explore Arkansas through and through to discover these amazing gems as they are located on unmarked roads that are not visible on the map until you find them! We don't want to spoil all the fun of exploring for you so we won't tell you where to look but only provide a preview so you know what lies uncovered in this upcoming map expansion.

We hope you are excited to dive deep into the map and see these beauties with your own eyes once the Arkansas DLC is released! And that is not all. With the release of this map expansion, we are also introducing some new cargoes that truckers will be able to haul there. We decided to add these types of cargo to make this map expansion more realistic and immersive while taking inspiration from the real world. 

For example, in El Dorado, there is the only bromine container factory in North America. As bromine plays a big part in Arkansas' industry, truckers will be able to haul these containers in-game there. Players will also come across other new cargoes such as SUVs, clamshell buckets, mobile air compressors, packed lumber, rough terrain forklifts, and a wood chipper, which would also come in handy for the Natural State's huge lumber industry.

We believe you are already looking forward to exploring Arkansas' hidden gems and hauling new cargoes. Until this map expansion is released, make sure to add the Arkansas DLC to your Steam Wishlist! Remember to stay tuned for more updates on the development of this DLC and other ATS-related news by following us on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Drive safe!

Arkansas - BIG in Arkansas

Special Transport is arriving in Arkansas! Are you ready to take on the challenge of hauling these colossal types of cargo on selected roads across the Natural State? Let's take a look at what roads you will deliver these loads on.

Driving with these huge cargos is no easy task and only the most experienced truckers will dare to take on this challenge! We have prepared some roads in Arkansas specifically to suit the needs that such special transport jobs require. But it will still be a big challenge for anyone to deliver them even with the help of professionally-trained pilot vehicles who will assist you, as always.

So you are still reading and think you have what it takes to transport these oversized cargos? Well then, let's take a look at which cities you will find these special transport jobs and where you will be required to deliver them to. Special Transport DLC owners will find contracts on offer between the following cities:

Little Rock to El Dorado

Little Rock to Texarkarna

Jonesboro to Hot Springs

We are looking forward to cruising the roads of the Natural State with these special cargos loaded on our trailer and hope you are too! You can get the Special Transport DLC on Steam right now if you don't own it already.

Make sure to also add the Arkansas DLC to your Steam Wishlist and follow us on social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok) to be notified when this map expansion is available. We can't wait for you to get your hands on the new map expansion and see for yourself everything that it has to offer!

Greece - Border Crossings #2

Papers, please! In today's blog, we would like to share some more previews of the border crossings you will encounter on your way in and out of Greece, our upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Ready to make the crossing? Let's get moving. 

In total, you will come across six border crossings, each of them unique in their own way, in shape and size. If you haven't seen the first part of this blog, showcasing the first 3 crossings, you can check it out here.

Ipsala - Kipoi

The border crossing in İpsala is a major commercial crossing between Greece and Türkiye, and is the largest border crossing area found in the Greece DLC. In real life, this border handles an average 400 trucks a day, featuring its own dedicated road lanes splitting the traffic in half between trucks, cars & buses for the entire length of the crossing. 

Whilst we don't want to make our players wait for long periods of time in traffic crossing between countries, our team has accurately recreated the crossing area, including the road network and structures built there to handle the busiest crossing points between these two countries. 

Bogorodica - Evzoni

Located on the E75 Route, the Bogorodica - Evzoni border crossing connects Greece with North Macedonia. This border crossing contains the largest number of road lanes for vehicles to pass through in our Greece DLC! 

Outside the main border gate on the Greek side, you can find a special lane for trucks, which helps with the flow of traffic. If you are on a Special Transport route, this will also be the dedicated Border Control crossing to pass through! 

Kulata - Promachonas

Regarded as one of the key entry points between the two countries of Bulgaria and Greece, this Border Control crossing is a popular route for tourists and commercial traffic alike. Travellers passing through will go over a bridge that takes drivers over the Pirinska Bistritsa river. This crossing (like all those shown in this blog) have been custom-made to perfectly resemble its real-life counterpart. 

We hope you enjoy the detail that has gone into creating these key Border Crossing points in our upcoming Greece DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you like what you see, then consider supporting us by adding Greece to your Steam Wishlist! Until next time, keep on truckin'.
