British Columbia: Bridges

We are happy to bring you another preview from the upcoming British Columbia DLC for American Truck Simulator, as today we will be taking a look at the beautiful bridges we have been preparing for this DLC!

British Columbia is home to many stunning bridges, some set in the most scenic locations across Canada, while others hold great historical significance. Beyond their architectural appeal, these structures play an important role in connecting communities across the province's rugged landscape, spanning rivers, valleys, and waterways.

Two of the bridges we are showcasing today can be found in Vancouver, the largest city in British Columbia. The Granville Bridge, built in 1954, connects downtown Vancouver with the southern part of the city via Granville Street, crossing False Creek along the way. The Iron Workers Memorial Bridge, meanwhile, was named in honour of the 19 workers involved in its construction, following a tragic accident on June 19, 1958, when a section of the bridge collapsed.

Two more bridges can be found along the Fraser River. The first is the Alexandra Bridge, a steel deck arch bridge that you will come across when following the Trans-Canada Highway north from the city of Hope. Further north, along Highway 20, you will find the Sheep Creek Bridge, nestled between picturesque mountains.

If you take Highway 5 from Hope instead, you will come across the Dry Gulch Bridge, a steel box arch bridge completed in 1985, featuring a main span of 575 feet.

Since we already mentioned the Trans-Canada Highway, which stretches across the country from west to east, we have two more bridges there to showcase, located relatively close to each other. The first is the R.W. (Rolf Wallgren) Bruhn Bridge in the town of Sicamous. While there, you can also spot the Canadian Pacific Railway swing bridge spanning Sicamous Narrows, which rotates to allow boats to pass through. Continue east along the highway, and before long, you will cross the Revelstoke Suspension Bridge over the Columbia River.

If you enter British Columbia from Montana via Route 93, you will come across the Elk River Bridge, which spans the river shortly before it joins the Kootenay River. Finally, the northernmost bridge in today's showcase is the Pine River Bridge, located along the John Hart Highway.

In southern British Columbia, you will find the Tulameen River Bridge along with the pedestrian Bridge of Dreams, which span the Tulameen River at Princeton right next to each other. The pedestrian bridge uses original piers of the Old Kettle Valley Railway Bridge.

And that's it for today's blog! We hope you liked another preview from this upcoming DLC. If you are excited to be driving in Canada, remember to add British Columbia to your Steam wishlist. 

Also, make sure to stay tuned for more as we reveal what's in store for British Columbia in the future by following us on our social media channels (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok) or subscribing to our newsletter. Until next time, we will see you on the road!

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 has officially arrived today, bringing a brand-new way to experience the roads of Europe!

The Coaches DLC is now released and available on Steam!

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! 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!
