On November 12, 2026, SCS Software released the Coaches expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. For the first time in the simulator's history, this expansion introduces intercity bus transportation, offering players a new gameplay style focused on passenger services rather than traditional freight deliveries.
With the release of Coaches, three officially licensed buses have been added to the game: the Scania Touring, Volvo 9700 DD, and MAN Lion's Coach. In the garage menu, developers introduced extensive vehicle customization options. Players can change chassis configurations, select exterior paint schemes, and adjust interior finishes.
The expansion offers several ways to get started in passenger transport. Quick jobs are available for playing without owning a vehicle, along with contract routes featuring scheduled stops and tourist trips to popular European locations. To support the new system, SCS Software updated the game map by adding bus terminals, dedicated tourist stops, and infrastructure improvements.
The new type of tasks also requires players to change their driving style. To ensure passenger comfort, drivers must negotiate turns smoothly and avoid sudden braking throughout the journey.
SCS Software confirmed that Coaches will continue to expand post-release. Future updates are planned to introduce more licensed buses, new customization parts, and additional gameplay features. Thanks to this expansion, Euro Truck Simulator 2, originally released in October 2012, receives a full-fledged alternative to classic freight runs fourteen years later.
