It’s time to hit the road! Today, we’re excited to share a gameplay preview from the upcoming Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2, showcasing the Scania Touring as we take a journey through the stunning landscapes of northern Norway.

In this gameplay video, we’ll be driving from Narvik to Andenes, giving you a closer look at what it’s like to be behind the wheel of a coach. But there’s more to a successful journey than simply reaching your destination. With passengers on board, how you drive can make a real difference!

So sit back and join us for a journey in the Scania Touring and get a taste of what awaits in the upcoming Coaches DLC!

One of the features we’re showcasing is the G-force indicator, which helps translate your driving style into passenger satisfaction. Sharp turns and hard braking can create higher G-forces, and your passengers won’t hesitate to let you know when you’ve pushed things too far. If you exceed their comfort limits, you may hear some rather loud reactions from the back of the coach!

Passenger satisfaction will contribute to your overall results at the end of your journey, giving you another reason to keep your driving smooth and comfortable. You’ll also hear passengers talking and making noise throughout the trip, helping bring the coach experience to life as you travel along the roads.

Another feature we’re showcasing is the adjustable sun visor, giving you greater control over the amount of sunlight coming into the cabin and providing a more comfortable driving experience behind the wheel of any coach.

We hope you enjoyed this gameplay preview of Scania Touring. If so, then don't forget to add the Coaches DLC to your Steam wishlist! Make sure to also keep track of any future updates by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, and YouTube, or sign up for our newsletter. Until next time, safe travels!
