Open Beta for the 1.57 is now available to try and test out!
1.57 is a big update which not only include a lot of game improvements and features but also a bridge to new maps DLCs for both ETS2 and ATS. Louisiana for ATS and Nordic Horizons for ETS2.
Update for Euro Truck Simulator is now available and the American one will probably will come soon as well. In Europe 1.57 brings the long-awaited refresh for the Scandinavia DLC with not only updated textures, vegetation, road assets rest stops and fuel stations but also major overhaul of the road network: custom-designed junctions replacing old prefabs and map additions, including the brand-new cities of Aarhus in Denmark and Karlstad in Sweden, along with a completely rebuilt Copenhagen featuring modern infrastructure and landmark recreations to enrich the network and scenery.
We still have no evidence of new hidden roads coming with this refresh but hope we will add some secrets to the guide.

Electric DAF XF Joins the Fleet in ETS2
The third full electric truck has been revealed in Euro Truck Simulator 2. As the previous tractors with electric engine DAF XF is only available for Quick Jobs up to 350 km so you can’t unfortunately park it on your garage. Also you cannot charge battery unless you use mods.
For players eager to experience a more realistic electric trucking simulation, the modding community has stepped in with solutions that add charging functionality, though this requires venturing beyond the base game.
The journey toward electrification in ETS2 began with the introduction of the Renault Electric truck, which marked a historic first for the game. This groundbreaking addition gave players their initial taste of zero-emission hauling, even with its Quick Job limitations. The fleet expanded further when Scania brought their electric model to the game, becoming the second manufacturer to join the green revolution.
