🚛 Everything About Euro Truck Simulator 2
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of the most popular driving simulators ever made — cross Europe behind the wheel of a licensed truck, deliver cargo between hundreds of cities, and grow your own transport company. Here's everything you need to know about the game.
📖 What Is Euro Truck Simulator 2?
Euro Truck Simulator 2 (often shortened to ETS2) is a vehicle-simulation game developed and published by the Czech studio SCS Software. Since its launch in 2012 it has grown into a genre-defining title, praised for its relaxing pace, realistic driving and an enormous, ever-expanding map of Europe.
You step into the boots of a professional truck driver. At first you take delivery jobs for established haulage firms, but as you earn money and experience you can buy your own trucks, open garages in different cities, hire other drivers, and build a thriving logistics business that spans the whole continent.
More than a decade after release, ETS2 is still updated regularly with free improvements and paid map expansions, and it's backed by one of the most active modding communities in PC gaming — which is exactly why sites like this one exist.

🗺️ The Map & DLC Expansions
The base game features a condensed version of Europe with several countries and dozens of cities. SCS continually reworks older regions to modern visual standards while pushing the borders further with paid map expansions. There are currently ten released map DLCs:
- 🟢Going East! — Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary
- 🟢Scandinavia — Denmark, Norway, Sweden
- 🟢Vive la France! — France
- 🟢Italia — Italy
- 🟢Beyond the Baltic Sea — Baltics & Kaliningrad
- 🟢Road to the Black Sea — Romania, Bulgaria, Türkiye

- 🟢Nordic Horizons — northern Europe
The map keeps growing — expansions like Iceland, Isle of Ireland and Soul of Anatolia (Türkiye & the Caucasus) are on the way. Community projects such as ProMods extend the world even further, though they require the official map DLC to work.
