About the game

Euro Truck Simulator 2 cover.jpg
Euro Truck Simulator 2 offers an exciting simulation experience with physics, graphics and gameplay developed by the experienced team at SCS Software, the leading experts in Truck Simulation titles.Set in Europe, the player can drive across a depiction of Europe, visiting its cities, picking up a variety of cargos, and delivering them.
The game now features two new truck companies, Scania and Renault, with MAN returning from the original game. DAF, Iveco Mercedes-Benz and Volvo trucks were not officially licensed and had their names changed to DAV, Ivedo, Majestic and Valiant respectively. Later updates included the official branding for the DAF XF, Volvo FH16 and Iveco Stralis. On April 16, 2013, SCS released a Linux beta version of the game to the public through Steam.

Gameplay

Players choose their starting city from various locations in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The player initially can only take quick jobs. As the player earns more money or takes bank loans enough to buy a truck, the player can choose what cargo he or she wants to deliver. The money earned/loaned can then be spent on upgrading or purchasing new trucks, hiring AI drivers to take on deliveries and expanding the home garage.

The player will also gain experience after each delivery and a skill point is awarded after levelling up. Skill points can be used to unlock deliveries that require different ADR classes, longer distance deliveries, special cargoes, fragile cargoes, deliveries that are urgent and Eco-driving. The game features sixty four cities in twelve different countries, over twenty different types of cargo and over fifteen fictional European companies
