Benelux Rework for ETS2 in 2026
This is a very promising update we are waiting for, because it will finally refresh old areas in Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Coach Buses in TruckersMP
TruckersMP – popular multiplayer community – announced partnership with mod team Heavy Vehicles Turkey and coach buses in TMP, enabling to transport passengers across Europe.
Until recently, TruckersMP supported the DBus World tool, allowing to create and drive bus routes. In the coming months it will be introduced a new coach bus and bus line feature, eliminating the need to install a third-party tool.
The new coach bus will be automatically downloaded via the TruckersMP launcher, like any other TruckersMP update.
You can create and drive routes in-game.
Passengers will be waiting at bus stops and will enter your bus one by one.
Statistics such as punctuality will affect your payout.
SCS Software is expected to launch a similar feature as DLC. TruckersMP don’t want to copy their functionality, but embrace the multiplayer aspect that only we can deliver. The DLC will not be required to make use of the feature.

The World of Trucks event – Cruising Nordic Horizons started with new DLC for ETS2 and if you’re still not joining – it is the chance to discover nice cities, roads and landscapes of Northern Europe and get some in-game perks like truck skit or cabin decorations.
