1.57 Update: Special Transport DLC Update

Big News Ahead! ⚠️ Today we're excited to share that a free update is coming to owners of the Special Transport DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 in our upcoming 1.57 update. We hope your driving skills are up to scratch, because we've got some new and challenging cargoes coming your way!

Taking the wheel of a truck hauling massive cargo is no easy job. It’s not just about the size of the load, it’s about the skill and focus it takes to handle it. Moving something that big down highways and tight roads is a real test of balance between power and precision. Only the most skilled drivers can pull it off. Think you’ve got what it takes? 

Wind Turbine Blade

This impressive 30-metre giant Wind Turbine Blade is a cargo that demands precision and focus to deliver. Hauled on a specially designed blade hauler semi-trailer, this setup features a 30-metre, 4-axle chassis where every axle is steerable, ensuring maximum control around tight turns. With the trailer itself weighing 20,820 kg and the blade another 5,500 kg, this is a true test of skill for any driver brave enough to take on such a monumental haul.

Underground Loader

This heavy-duty machine has been built for demanding mining operations. It is hauled on a specially built 6-axle low loader trailer, where every axle is steerable to help navigate even the tightest roads. The trailer itself weighs 35,000 kg and stretches 25 metres long, making it the perfect match for carrying this 54,500 kg beast (72,000 kg when loaded). It’s a serious challenge for any driver who’s ready to take on one of our heaviest cargoes in the game.

Naturally, with these new cargoes come new routes! If you're a big fan of the Wind Turbine Blade, drivers will be able to find this Special Transport job contract available from Rostock to Berlin in Germany, and also in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC, which will route from Jyväskylä to Vaasa.

Both of these routes will take you from the blade manufacturer directly to a wind turbine construction site. The German route, in particular, will really test your precision, with a tight finish that requires some serious manoeuvring to get into the depot and park the trailer properly.

For the Underground Loader, you’ll be able to pick up this Special Transport job contract available from Dortmund to Hannover, as well as in our upcoming Nordic Horizons DLC from Narvik to Kiruna, which will take you from a service depot to an underground mine!

We hope you’re excited to get behind the wheel and take on these oversized challenges coming with the 1.57 update! Keep an eye on our blog and social channels for more news about what’s rolling out in this update, but until then, keep on truckin'!
