On May 31st, we collected ourselves on TruckersMP for another convoy! We took our community through recently made Poznan, and the Recently Released A5 & S61 highways.
For many players, and especially those on TruckersMP, this convoy offered a rare chance to drive alongside several members of the ProMods Team; a great opportunity to enjoy the roads together, answer questions, and celebrate the release of new areas. Additionally, plenty of fun was had on Twitch & YouTube, with far beyond questionable driving from some team members!!
With Love, from You!!
So many members of both the ProMods and TruckersMP community come together to drive with this convoy, This included the attendance of multiple Virtual Trucking Companies (VTC)’s: Prime Logistics, Pink Ribbon VTC, Galaxy Convoy Services & Aurora VTC!
From long-established virtual companies, all the way through the new and smaller independent groups; we thank everyone for attending for this drive!
Drivers from Everywhere!
Hosting a convoy with players from all corners proved fun; the in-game chat was going mental! It seems that these convoys connect people from all corners! So many trucks were in attendance, albeit virtually. Have a look at some of our favorites below;
Additionally, for those who aren’t already familiar with the recently developed “ProMods LIVE” series, we occasionally livestream elements within Promods to both our Twitch & YouTube channels. This one was no exemption!
Jess, our Event Manager, took to the roads to provide a first-hand P.O.V. for anyone who was unable to make it. Despite making the convoy two minutes late, she did well! A big thanks to Jess for helping out on the Stream!
Convoy Control
We would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to our partners at TruckersMP, who helped assist us running this event, providing us FIrst Class convoy control! A huge additional thank you is extended to everybody who participated, shared photos, and participated in any way. We hope to see you at the next convoy!
ProMods Europe v2.82 is here. From the Black Sea coast of Turkey to the motorway networks adjacent to the North Sea of the Benelux, this is a release that covers a lot of ground, literally, with new cities, reworked corridors, and a long-awaited merge all landing in one go. Here’s a run through what’s new.
France: A4 (Reims/Strasbourg)
by Fisher JB. The A4 is one of eastern France’s most important motorway corridors, stretching from Reims in the heart of the Champagne region all the way east to Strasbourg on the banks of the Rhine. This is a route that connects two of France’s most historically and culturally distinct cities, and the ground-up overhaul has been created to more accurately reflect the real-world alignment of the corridor, with improved carriageway layouts, more accurate interchange designs, and smoother transitions between the motorway and surrounding networks. If you’ve driven this stretch before, you’ll notice the difference immediately. Eastern France is quietly stunning, and this rework does it justice
Turkey: Hopa
by Meciran_ECG & Emreunalir. As recently announced, Hopa is a town in northeast Turkey, located on the eastern Turkish Black Sea coast, 18 kilometres from the border with Georgia and its arrival in ProMods pushes the eastern Black Sea frontier that much closer to life,, and one that’s been a long time coming for Turkey’s coastline in ProMods.
Nordics: Finland & Norway
by Vladzz-G & Joessin. Three Finnish locations and one Norwegian addition make up the Nordic content in v2.82, all falling within the Nordic Horizons DLC area that ProMods has been carefully reintegrating over recent versions.
Kristiinankaupunki, a small coastal town on the western coast of Finland has been built and merged into the wider Nordic Horizons area, reskinned to align with the visual standards and atmosphere established across the region. Kristiinankaupunki adds a stretch of Finland’s coastline that was previously absent, and brings with it the kind of unhurried, scenic driving that this part of the world does so well. Seinäjoki and Kaustinen are also returning, brought up to the standards of the current map and reintegrated into the Nordic Horizons region. Alongside the towns themselves, two roads make this stretch genuinely useful for long-distance routing
Crossing into Norway, Lødingen also joins the map; a ferry port in the Lofoten area that adds a meaningful logistics node to the far north.
Germany Würzburg & Poland: Zakrzewo
by ItzPxllel & Wojtek. Germany’s motorway network is one of the most recognizable in Europe, and the A3, running through the heart of Bavaria, is no exception. Würzburg is one of those cities that drivers pass through constantly on the BAB3 and t’s a natural crossroads, and bringing it properly into ProMods alongside the surrounding Autobahn infrastructure is the kind of foundational work that makes the German network feel complete
Zakrzewo is a smaller addition but a meaningful one, rounding out the Polish road network with another piece of the real map filled in, additionally, the feature of simulating authentic and real bus routes in-game here is a first, and we are already feeling the added immersion. Poland’s contribution to ProMods has grown substantially over recent releases, and this continues that tradition of careful, incremental expansion through ProMods’ own Polish development work.
“BENELUX Rework” Merge
by Scan720, Sam du 972 & Mandelsoft. The headline of v2.82 for many long-term ProMods players; SCS Software released their rework for the “BENELUX” Region, and we’ve spent some extra time importing this into our mod! We’ll soon start adding in more of ProMods work, like we have done with Nordic Horizons today,
The Benelux area has historically been one of the most complex parts of the map given how densely connected it is in real life, and getting it right has taken time for SCS to pull off, we have hopeful wishes for how we can expand.
More City Names!
One of the things we noticed in the recently released Nordic Horizons and BENELUX Rework areas, is that some town names are missing, so we decided to just.. put them in! See if you can spot the names that weren’t there prior!
Out Now!
The best part of all of this? It’s out NOW! We are so glad to give v2.82 to you, and we hope you enjoy! Download ONLY at: https://promods.net/
Today we’d like to share a preview of Hopa, a coastal town in northeastern Turkey. This area is still being developed and is around the corner from release, but we felt it was the perfect moment to show what we’ve been building. To accompany this preview, we’ve also prepared a short trailer, giving you a first look at the roads and scenery around the town.
Hopa is particularly important for another reason: it represents our first connection between Turkey and the Caucasus region. Once completed, this area will create a new link between the two regions, opening the door for future routes and expansions across the eastern side of the map.
Beyond The Border
The journey into Hopa begins beyond the Turkish border, where the road winds through steep terrain between the mountains and the Black Sea coastline. This stretch is defined by dramatic elevation changes, tight bends, and views that alternate between dense forest and open water.
From highway rest stops to smaller roadside stations, these branded elements add a much-appreciated layer of familiarity and immersion, especially to long-distance driving.
Into Hopa
As you approach the town, the road opens up into the main highway network serving Hopa. These routes carry the bulk of traffic moving along the Black Sea coast and provide access to the town’s industrial areas and transport hubs.
Wide carriageways, coastal views, and busy junctions define this part of the drive, offering a smoother and faster contrast to the winding mountain roads behind you.
A Town of Dreams
Once inside the town itself, the experience changes again. Local streets become narrower, weaving between residential buildings, small businesses, and urban infrastructure.
These aren’t the main arterial routes, but they form an important part of the city’s character; giving drivers a closer look at everyday life in Hopa while navigating tighter corners and more compact road layouts.
Hopa is still far from finished, and much of what you see here will continue to evolve as development progresses. But even at this stage, we’re excited to share our work with the community. We hope you enjoy the preview trailer and this early look at one of our upcoming regions. There’s still a long road ahead and we’ll be sharing more updates as the project develops.
For a long time, the areas now covered by SCS’s Nordic Horizons DLC were ProMods territory. We knew these roads, these towns, and these landscapes well, and with v2.82 over the horizon, we’re returning to them. Today we’re giving you a first look at what we’re bringing to the Nordic Horizons area, with two countries represented and more still to come.
Kristiinankaupunki
The headline that we’d like to show is Kristiinankapunki, a small coastal town on the western coast of Finland. This is a location that we’re particularly pleased to be sharing. Never announced before. The town has beenbuilt and merged into the wider Nordic Horizons area, reskinned to align with the visual standards and atmosphere we’ve established across the region. Sitting quietly on the Gulf of Bothnia, Kristiinankaupunki adds a stretch of Finland’s coastline that was previously absent, and brings with it the kind of unhurried, scenic driving that this part of the world does so well.
Seinäjoki & Kaustinen
Those of you on Social Media will have seen a preview on this already. If your memory goes back even farther, you may recall that this area first appeared in ProMods back in 2022, over four years ago. With v2.82, Seinäjoki and Kaustinen are returning, brought up to the standards of the current map and reintegrated into the Nordic Horizons region.
Alongside the towns themselves, we’re reintroducing two roads that make this stretch genuinely useful for long-distance routing. Road Vt19 runs directly from Tampere to Kokkola, offering a clean bypass of Vaasa for drivers who know where they’re going. Road Kt63 takes a quieter path through the villages of Kauhava, Evijärvi, and on into Kaustinen itself the kind of road that rewards drivers who aren’t always in a hurry.
Lødingen
Crossing into Norway, we’re also introducing Lødingen; a location that some of you may already recognise. Sharp-eyed members of our Discord community spotted it earlier this year through one of our Guess the Location posts in March, and the response made clear it had struck a chord.
Lødingen is a brand new asset for ProMods, and its placement isn’t accidental. This is a location chosen with the future of our Norway coverage firmly in mind, and while we’re not ready to say more than that just yet, we think those who know the region will understand why it matters.
