We are thrilled to return to the Netherlands as we provide the latest progress update on the Benelux Rework for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our latest efforts have focused on Eindhoven, a city defined by its deep industrial legacy and its status as the home of DAF Trucks—one of the most prestigious names in European transport.
As a cornerstone of the Benelux Rework, Eindhoven has been built from the ground up as a brand-new destination in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Our environment artists have meticulously recreated its modern aesthetic, distinctive urban planning, and vital transport links. This addition provides a high-fidelity experience that meets the modern visual standards of the game, ensuring every street feels immersive and authentic.
Players will recognize several of Eindhoven’s most iconic landmarks. Among them is the Lichtnaald sculpture, which stands as a beacon over a major roundabout, flanked by the legendary Evoluon building. With its futuristic, saucer-like design, the Evoluon is a staple of the city’s skyline, and we are proud to include this architectural marvel in our virtual world.
Another focal point is the Floraplein, a critical urban junction that serves as a gateway for the city’s traffic. We have carefully refined this area to mirror its real-life configuration, ensuring that navigating through Eindhoven during your deliveries feels organic and true to life.
This project also presented a unique opportunity that we are incredibly excited to reveal. During the development of Eindhoven, we collaborated directly with DAF Trucks to integrate a digital recreation of their legendary manufacturing facility. As the heart of DAF’s global operations, this site holds immense historical and cultural value for trucking enthusiasts worldwide.
Due to operational security and the need to respect the privacy of certain manufacturing zones, some areas could not be documented or replicated with total precision. Consequently, the in-game facility is a “faithful interpretation” developed in close partnership with DAF. Our goal was to capture the energy and industrial identity of the plant while adhering to real-world boundaries.
We believe our community will value the chance to explore the vicinity of this industrial landmark and experience the atmosphere of the DAF headquarters within the world of ETS2.
We hope you enjoyed this deep dive into Eindhoven. Stay tuned for more updates on the Benelux Rework by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Instagram.
