ETS 2 Coaches: Neoplan Skyliner and Tourliner Shown as Future Update Content
Two more coaches look set to join Euro Truck Simulator 2 Coaches after launch. Work-in-progress images of the Neoplan Skyliner and the Neoplan Tourliner appeared on the DLC’s Steam page, as spotted by SimülasyonTürk, and SCS Software took them down again soon afterwards. Both carry the same caption: “Future update content - work in progress”.
What the images show
Neither image is an in-game screenshot. Both are 3D models from the workshop, mostly grey, with the mesh lines still visible.
The Skyliner is Neoplan’s double-deck coach. It is seen from the front, with two axles at the rear, and the body, glazing and front end are already modelled in detail.
The Tourliner is a single-deck coach, shown from the rear with part of its side painted red.
Not in the launch line-up
The Coaches DLC still releases on November 12 with three coaches: the Scania Touring, the MAN Lion’s Coach and the Volvo 9700 DD. The caption places both Neoplans in a later update. SCS has not given a date, and we have not seen it comment on the images since removing them, so there is nothing yet on when they will arrive or how far along they are.
Why it is not a surprise
SCS has said more than once that the coach list will grow. Producer Dominik said in January that the team was talking to other long-distance coach manufacturers, and on the October live stream the plan was described as one Coaches pack that keeps being updated after you buy it.
Neoplan is also a natural next step. It belongs to MAN Truck & Bus, the same company behind the Lion’s Coach that is already in the pack.
If that plan holds, the Neoplans would come as an update for Coaches owners rather than a separate purchase. SCS has not said so for these two models, though.
Common questions
Are the Neoplan Skyliner and Tourliner in ETS 2 Coaches at launch?
No. The DLC launches with the Scania Touring, MAN Lion’s Coach and Volvo 9700 DD. The Neoplan images are labelled as future update content.
When will the Neoplan coaches be added?
SCS has not announced a date.
Which coaches are in the DLC now?
See our list of ETS 2 Coaches buses for all three, with sizes and configurations.
Our take
A double-decker and a classic high-deck coach from the same brand would round out the line-up nicely, and the Skyliner would give the Volvo 9700 DD some company on the upper deck. These are early models, though, so expect a wait.
