Discover Greece’s Expansive Road Network in Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Greece DLC

It’s time to hit the road and explore the scenic highways of Greece! In this feature, SCS Software’s thrilled to share details about the intricate road network that’s been developed for the highly anticipated Greece map expansion in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Truckers will have the opportunity to enter Greece through six different border crossings, providing a range of access points into the country. In previous updates, three of these crossings—Kakavia, Níki – Medzhitlija, and Makaza – Nimphaia—have already been showcased. Once you cross into Greece, you’ll be able to travel in all directions, thanks to an extensive network of highways recreated for this expansion.

The A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8 highways form the backbone of this road network, allowing truckers to reach nearly every corner of the country. Each route is filled with meticulously crafted intersections, adding both challenge and realism to your journey.

A Key Transportation Hub: Igoumenítsa Ferry

One of the most critical access points in Greece is the Igoumenítsa ferry, situated on the west coast. This vital transportation hub connects Greece with Italy, making it an essential route for anyone hauling goods across the Mediterranean. From Igoumenítsa, three major European roads are waiting to be explored, each offering a unique driving experience.

The E55, E90, and E92 Routes: Connecting Europe Through Greece

The E55 is one of Europe’s longest roads, starting far in the north in Sweden and stretching all the way down to the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece. If you’re looking for a truly epic cross-continental drive, the E55 will take you through stunning landscapes and culturally rich areas.

Another major route, the E90, connects Portugal to Turkey, cutting across Greece from west to east. As you follow this road, you’ll pass through Thessaloniki and continue along Greece’s beautiful coastline, offering scenic views along the way.

Finally, the E92 links Greece’s west coast with the east, taking drivers through several important cities, including Trikala, one of the highlights of the upcoming Greece DLC.

The road network of the Heart of Russia DLC has been introduced for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Russia awaits us in the largest country in the world, full of old and worn, slick highways, bumpy dirt roads. SCS Software’s map designers tried to adapt the real roads as much as possible. While there are many well-maintained roads around big and important cities such as Moscow, there are diversity and road conditions when descending to rural and local roads.

As the world’s largest country, Russia has vast and various landscapes to explore. Driving there is an experience in itself too, as you’ll encounter all types of road, from slick highways to bumpy dirt roads.

During the early research phase of Heart of Russia, which has been on-going since the release of ‘Beyond the Baltic Sea’, many of the roads highlighted for the road network of this DLC were quite old and very well used. However since that time, local map sources were updated which allowed us to bring in some recent changes, which we have replicated virtually to bring the most up-to date road network possible.

Our teams have also taken a new approach for a lot of road assets in the ‘Heart of Russia’ DLC, such as bridges, railings and curbs; which are bigger and denser. Traffic signage have also been a particular focus for our teams too, as there is quite the variety of them in Russia. Besides the standard road signs on poles, we encountered new challenges, such as hanging signs, dynamic warnings, new horizontal signage, unique railway crossings and many more.

Whilst Russia maybe known for its very well-used roads, the truth is that most of the major road connections intended for truck transport are in good condition; especially around major cities such as Moscow, which are very well maintained. One type of Highway that drivers will often find themselves driving on are Russian federal highways, which are owned and maintained by the government as they are of regional and intermunicipal importance for the country and economy.

From 4 lane highways to unpaved roads, you can experience many types of roads in our upcoming Heart of Russia DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2

And we cannot wait for you to explore them all for yourselves!
