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'!

Today, we’re excited to share one of the projects we’ve been working on for the upcoming 1.57 update. A small part of our Vehicles team has been reworking the selectable company logos that you can choose when first creating your driver profile, along with the matching company paint jobs available for your truck and trailer. Let’s take a closer look at the designs and the work involved!

Matej and Tomáš from our Vehicles Team have been at the forefront of this project, bringing new designs to life. We asked them a few questions to learn about this project. Matej explained how the idea first came about “The idea basically came from our shared vision of reworking the UI and various elements that we’ve been updating over the last few patches. So, we decided to get involved and created more modern company logos, which will be available in both ATS and ETS2, as well as matching company paintjobs for trucks and trailers, which are coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in this update.”

Once the concept was agreed upon, work began on reimagining the logos and the corresponding paint jobs. This was no small task, and required careful collaboration between different members of the team. “We’ve been working on the new logos and the paintjobs for several months, mainly as a duo with my good colleague and friend, Tomáš V” Matej continues. “Together with our whole paintjob department, we wanted to make sure every single paintjob fits as best as possible with the specific shapes of different truck cabins, paintable accessories and box trailers, doubles, tankers, or dumpers.”

The design vision behind this refresh was rooted in both modernisation and preservation. Tomáš shared more about their approach: “Since the existing paintjobs have been available to our players since 2016, our main goal was definitely to make them more modern and realistic. At the same time, we felt it was important not to change the overall look of the paintjobs and logos too much from the originals. We really wanted players to still feel a sense of nostalgia and connection in our modern reinterpretation.”

Alongside the visual improvements, the update also introduces more flexibility for player customisation. “We also wanted to give players more customization options, so all our new paintjobs now come with the option to use the RGB colour picker” Matej adds. “This gives every player the choice to either set their own preferred colours or choose from our pre-selected preset combinations.”

We’re excited for you to experience the refreshed company logos and paintjobs when version 1.57 rolls out. Whether you’re starting a brand-new profile or giving your current company a fresh new look, we think you’ll enjoy the modernised designs while still recognising their classic charm.

Matej leaves us with one last hint for our community “Our American Truck Simulator players haven’t been forgotten, they can look forward to an update in the future too!” We hope you enjoy the design of these reworked company logos and paint jobs, planned to arrive with the 1.57 update.

Let us know what you think! We’d love to hear your comments on social media, our official forums, and in the blog comments below. We look forward to sharing more exciting news in the future. Until next time, keep on truckin’!
