Today, we’re excited to give you an early glimpse of something special arriving in Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the upcoming 1.59 update! In partnership with our friends at Volvo Trucks, you’ll soon have the opportunity to test your trucking skills at the renowned Volvo Trucks Experience Center, situated in Gothenburg, Sweden! 

Located in Gothenburg, the home of Volvo Trucks, the Volvo Trucks Experience Center brings together brand presentation spaces and a purpose-built driving facility created to showcase the performance and engineering of Volvo Trucks’ vehicles. While visitors can explore Volvo’s latest innovations, technology, and heritage on site, the center’s standout feature is its dedicated driving circuit.
This carefully designed track incorporates sweeping bends, tighter technical corners, elevation changes, downhill stretches, and varied road layouts. Together, these elements allow drivers to assess vehicle behaviour in a controlled environment, highlighting stability, braking precision, handling characteristics, and overall driving comfort in ways that go beyond everyday road conditions.

In Euro Truck Simulator 2, the Volvo Trucks Experience Center (VTEX) has been recreated almost entirely on a 1:1 scale. Players will be able to drive the full circuit and explore the surrounding areas of the facility. Our teams paid close attention to detail to faithfully capture the layout and atmosphere of the real-world location, including all of the parking areas that form part of the center, delivering an experience that closely mirrors its real-life counterpart.
Drivers wanting to check out this special area will need to venture around the roads near Gothenburg, to discover an entrance that is not yet discovered on your GPS, which leads into the facility. And just a friendly reminder, as it is located in Sweden, you will require the Scandinavia DLC to be able to visit it.

Last year, we had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Volvo Trucks Experience Center ourselves, where we got up close to the facility and even behind the wheel of the Volvo FH Electric, Volvo FH16 780, and Volvo FH I-Save. During our time there, we gathered detailed photographic references and captured authentic sound recordings to support our ongoing projects. We also documented the visit as part of our SCS On The Road series on YouTube; you can watch the episode below!

We’d like to extend our sincerest thanks to our good friends at Volvo Trucks for their support and collaboration in bringing this special location to Euro Truck Simulator 2 for our players to explore and enjoy. 

We look forward to sharing more news about upcoming updates, DLCs, and other exciting developments soon. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter so that you don't miss a thing, and until next time, keep on truckin’!

In today's episode, we're heading to Dobříš, a small town in the Czech Republic, and home to the Bobcat[www.bobcat.com] EMEA headquarters. Alongside a behind-the-scenes look at how the models for our games were created, we also got a walkaround of some of the machines to learn more about them.

When we visited Bobcat last year to gather reference materials for our Bobcat Cargo Pack DLCs for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, we also had the chance to record this episode while capturing the scanning process with our vehicle department and exploring more of Bobcat's product range.

We would like to thank Bobcat for the invitation and smooth collaboration, as well as Matúš Gejdoš, their Product Manager for Portable Air Compressors, and Zdeněk Brůžek, the Field Product Trainer, for sharing their time and knowledge with us about these impressive machines. Without further ado, let's watch!

If you would like to transport these machines in our games, make sure to get the Bobcat Cargo Pack DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and the Bobcat Cargo Pack DLC for American Truck Simulator on Steam. You can also buy the bundle to get these DLCs for both games for half the price!
