Volvo Trucks Experience Center Coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2

The team at SCS Software is excited to share an early glimpse of something special arriving in Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the upcoming 1.59 update. In partnership with friends at Volvo Trucks, drivers will soon have the opportunity to test their skills at the renowned Volvo Trucks Experience Center ETS2 location, situated in Gothenburg, Sweden.

A World-Class Testing Facility

Located in Gothenburg, the home of Volvo Trucks, the Volvo Trucks Experience Center brings together brand presentation spaces and a purpose-built driving facility. It was 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.

A Track Designed for Precision

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. The track highlights stability, braking precision, handling characteristics, and overall driving comfort in ways that go beyond everyday road conditions.

A Faithful Recreation in ETS2

In Euro Truck Simulator 2, the Volvo Trucks Experience Center ETS2 location 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. The teams paid close attention to detail to faithfully capture the layout and atmosphere of the real-world location. This includes all of the parking areas that form part of the center, delivering an experience that closely mirrors its real-life counterpart.

How to Find the VTEX

Drivers wanting to check out this special area will need to venture around the roads near Gothenburg. They must discover an entrance that is not yet marked on the GPS, which leads into the facility. As a friendly reminder, because it is located in Sweden, drivers will require the Scandinavia DLC to visit it. This hidden gem awaits those who explore the roads around the city.

Behind the Scenes: The SCS Visit

Last year, the team had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Volvo Trucks Experience Center themselves. They 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 the visit, they gathered detailed photographic references and captured authentic sound recordings to support ongoing projects. The visit was also documented as part of the SCS On The Road series on YouTube. Watch the episode below.

Thank You to Volvo Trucks

The team extends sincerest thanks to friends at Volvo Trucks for their support and collaboration in bringing this special location to Euro Truck Simulator 2 for players to explore and enjoy.
