Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.53 Update: Open Beta

Today, we are happy to share with you that the 1.53 Open Beta branch for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now available to try and test out. 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 1.53 Open Beta has in store.

Germany Rework As part of our Germany Rework project, we are excited to present the cities of München, Mannheim, Leipzig, Dresden and Germany's largest city and capital, Berlin. Each of these cities has been completely reworked from the ground up and are included for free as part of the 1.53 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

With the help of advanced map techniques and technologies, our team has been able to rework each city and its surrounding area in great detail, including accurately represented industries in the area, new and improved road networks, and famous local landmarks!

We encourage you to explore each of these cities yourself, and discover what each one has to offer; you'll never know what you may find! If you're interested in learning more in more detail about each specific city, be sure to check out our dedicated blogs on the Germany rework, which you can find here.

Volvo FH Series 4 Rework We're excited to announce that the Volvo FH Series 4 has undergone a complete rework in the 1.53 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2! We know the community has been eagerly awaiting news on this highly requested update, so without further ado, let's take a closer look at the changes made to this iconic truck.

Let's start with the cabin, which has been completely reworked both inside and out. Thanks to newly provided CAD data, we have been able to accurately improve details and the accuracy of external parts including front and rear fenders, bumpers, roof deflectors, and more.

The same goes for the interior too, which now features more accurate textures and materials that meet the new Volvo standard. Drivers will also have the option of choosing between different interior trims, as well as selectable seats and steering wheel.

The chassis of the Volvo FH Series 4 has also been completely remodeled and improved in terms of details, including new textures for a better overall appearance.

However, that isn't all! The Volvo FH Tuning Pack has also received a rework as a result of the Volvo FH Series 4 being overhauled. Owners of this DLC Pack can expect reworked tuning parts, including the front and rear fenders, bumpers, roof deflectors, and more.

Drivers can also find an option to paint their cabin in the special 25 Years of Volvo FH paint livery! It's the perfect way to celebrate the rework of the Volvo FH Series 4 in style.

We look forward to hearing your initial reactions to the rework of this iconic truck, which our team has worked hard to enhance with new details and improvements. Be sure to share your comments, screenshots, and videos with us across our social media channels!

Please note, however, that this truck is still a work in progress, with some parts and options still being finalized.
