Euro Truck Simulator 2: 1.45 Open Beta

Today, we are happy to share with you that the 1.45 Open Beta branch for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now available to try and test out. Please note, that this Beta branch has been released earlier than usual and is a work-in-progress build that contains known issues & bugs. If you plan on participating in this Open Beta, we ask that you please help us by reporting any bugs you may encounter in the appropriate section(s) of our official forums.

Your feedback and reports are extremely valuable to our team and we thank you in advance for taking the time to help us out.

So, without further ado, let's take a look at what the 1.45 Open Beta has in store.

Hannover Rework

The city of Hannover has been given a fresh look and has been completely reworked for 1.45! Similar to the Austria rework, we have more-or-less deleted the entire city and started from scratch. The city circle has been moved, although we have also done our best to keep as much from it as possible.

That’s not the case with the city center and southern part, however, as these areas now feature a completely different layout with a new economy, which actually consists of some unique depots in the world of ETS2.

One of the most unique areas arriving in this rework will be the very famous Hannover Messe - one of the world’s largest trade halls and also one of our biggest challenges due to the fact that the part that we are adding is almost in a 1:1 scale. Dedicated to the topic of industry development, trucks and trailers always take the spotlight during the IAA event, which is an exhibition for commercial vehicles and a chance for brands to showcase their constant technological advancements and evolution.

Perhaps this area might come in handy later this year, who knows? We look forward to you exploring this reworked area in this update. Read more about it in one of our previous dedicated blogposts.

Ownable Tank Trailers

We are also happy to share with you another long-awaited addition coming to the selection of purchasable trailers - ownable cisterns!

For now, we will be adding two different types of tank trailers to our games - Fuel Tanks and Silos (Dry Bulk trailers). Both types will have different customizations and uses. And don’t worry, we plan on bringing more versions of this trailer to you in the future!

The fuel cisterns in Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be used for the transportation of combustible liquids. For silos, you will be able to deliver a number of bulk materials with them, for example, sand, concrete, or grain. Tank Trailers will feature a selection of 4 connection types (Single, Double, B-double, HCT).

We are incredibly excited to see you hauling these new cistern trailers in your company and how you will customize them! You can read more about ownable Tank Trailers and what you will be able to customize at our previous dedicated blogpost.
