Today, we are happy to take you to the Netherlands once again, as we continue our work on the Benelux Rework for Euro Truck Simulator 2. This time, our journey brings us to Eindhoven, a city with a strong industrial identity and a name that is inseparably linked with one of Europe’s most legendary truck manufacturers - DAF Trucks.
As part of the Benelux Rework, Eindhoven is being introduced as a brand-new city to Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our map designers have been working to capture its modern character, distinctive architecture, and key road connections from the ground up. The result is a fresh addition to the map that feels detailed, immersive, and fully aligned with today’s ETS2 standards.
You'll be able to catch a glimpse of some of Eindhoven’s most recognisable locations. One of them is the Lichtnaald sculpture, standing proudly over a roundabout, with the iconic Evoluon building rising in the background. With its unmistakable UFO-like shape, the Evoluon is one of the city’s most famous landmarks, and we are excited to bring this unique skyline into the game.
Another location is Floraplein, an important urban junction that plays a key role in Eindhoven’s road network. This area has been carefully reworked to better reflect its real-world layout and surroundings, helping the city feel more natural and believable as you drive through it during your deliveries.
This rework also gave us a special opportunity that we are particularly excited to share. While working on Eindhoven, we joined forces with DAF Trucks to bring a recreation of their Eindhoven factory and facility into Euro Truck Simulator 2. As the home of DAF, this location holds enormous significance not only for the city itself but also for truck enthusiasts across Europe and beyond.
Due to real-world constraints and the need to respect certain boundaries, some parts of the premises could not be documented or recreated in full detail. For this reason, the version you will experience in-game represents a carefully crafted interpretation, created in close cooperation with DAF. Our focus was on conveying the character, energy, and identity of the area, while ensuring that everything which needs to remain private does so.
Even so, we strongly believe that our players will love the opportunity to visit this area, explore its surroundings, and get a sense of what the DAF facility in Eindhoven feels like within the world of ETS2.
We hope you enjoyed this closer look at Eindhoven, and we look forward to sharing more from the Benelux Rework with you in the future. Until next time, be sure to keep up to date with the latest updates by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Instagram, and by subscribing to our newsletter. Safe travels and keep on truckin’!
