Over the years, ProMods has always aimed to make the Euro Truck Simulator 2 world feel as authentic and immersive as possible. One way we previously approached this was by including real-world company brands throughout parts of the map.

However, with the Trailer & Company Pack being our mod dedicated to replacing SCS’s fictional in-game companies, we’ve ended up in a situation where a ProMods Europe now includes a mix of newly added real brands alongside SCS’s fictional ones, with the Trailer & Company pack replacing the brands from SCS. In order to create a more cohesive experience. Going forward, we intend to move all brands inspired by real-life companies to the Trailer & Company pack, with ProMods Europe becoming a fully de-branded pack. This allows you to choose whether you’d like to see the map with real companies, or would prefer to play with fictional brands that fit right alongside those created by SCS.

We are now gradually moving forward with Project De-Brand; an initiative focused on replacing real-world company branding within the ProMods map with lore-friendly companies and assets that better fit the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2.
This change has been happening quietly for some time already, and we will continue implementing it gradually in future updates.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has its own unique world, complete with fictional companies, brands, and industries created by SCS Software. These businesses form part of the game’s identity and help maintain consistency across the map and DLC expansions.
By aligning more closely with this established ecosystem, ProMods can integrate more naturally with the base game while still maintaining the high level of realism players expect.

This approach also helps ensure long-term compatibility with future ETS2 updates and expansions.

At the same time, Project De-Brand allows us to develop something new: our own ProMods universe.
Rather than simply mirroring real-world companies, we now have the opportunity to create original logistics brands, industries, and visual identities that feel believable within the ETS2 world while still being inspired by real-life transport and manufacturing.

Over time, you’ll begin to see more of these companies appear across the map; helping build a consistent identity that blends ETS2 lore with new ProMods-inspired businesses.

For players who enjoy seeing real-world companies represented in-game; nothing is being lost it’s simply moving to a more appropriate place.
Our Trailer & Company Pack (TCP) will now become the primary home for real-world brands within the ProMods ecosystem. This allows players who prefer real companies to continue enjoying them, while keeping the core ProMods map aligned with the ETS2 universe.

We’ll be sharing more details about the future direction and updated look of the Trailer & Company Pack soon, so stay tuned.

The latest ProMods Europe update is soon upon us: ProMods Europe v2.81. This marks the completion of one of ProMods’ longest developed projects of nine years. The latest addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2 is Poznań, and its surrounding areas.

Alongside the release, we’re also publishing a brand-new trailer that takes you on a dive through the area, showcasing only some of what you can expect on your newly built western Poland, featuring cities such as Poznań, Luboń, Komorniki and more!
Let’s have a look at what this update brings.

Western Poland offers a distinctive driving atmosphere; wide open farmland, gently rolling terrain, dense tree corridors, and expansive motorway networks. In v2.81, we’ve carefully recreated the feeling of driving along the regions modern highways while maintaining the natural beauty that defines the wider area of Poland.

You can expect detailed interchanges, accurate road geometry, and long stretches of motorway surrounded by the beauty and atmosphere of scenic-highways, and industrial outskirts through western Poland.

I have never made an area for ProMods with this level of detail. I am sure the players will love to see it, after 9 years of development.

At the heart of this update lies Poznań, one of Poland’s major economic and cultural centers. The city, and its surrounding towns of Luboń, Komorniki, Września, and Konin have been designed with careful and appropriate attention to scale and detail. Each location contributes its own character, from suburban environments and service areas to larger industrial districts and highway hubs.

One of the standout features of this update introduces new custom prefabs tailored to the Poznań Region.
Most notably, we’ve added a fully custom automotive factory to Poznań. Users with the “Trailer and Company Pack” from us will notice this is based upon Volkswagen Poznań, bringing a realistic industrial presence to the area.

Additionally, to the east of Konin, you’ll find a brand-new custom motorway services, designed to be true-to-life, including a place to eat, a fuel stop, and a wonderful rest area, offering players a much more immersive break point along your route.

A large portion of our authenticity is in our details. For v2.81, we created a range of custom Polish signage, including accurate local street and motorway signs that reflect the region’s real-world standards.
In addition, we’ve continued our modelling work to introduce local bus models to populate these cities and improve the urban realism. These small touches contribute to making the Poznań area feel distinct and believable within the ProMods Mod.

Poznań felt quite empty in the base game, which inspired me to open the map editor for the first time. Over 10 years later, that decision has completely changed my life; I now work at SCS, someone else finished the original project, and my strong connection to the city pushed me to give it far more assets than most cities usually get.

Moving away from Poznan, our other change to ProMods Europe v2.81 consists of the UI. With ETS2’s latest version, SCS introduced changes to the game’s UI system. To ensure seamless compatability, we’ve updated and adapted our own custom UI messages to align with the new structure.

While not directly tied to the Poznań region, these improvements are part of the 2.81 release and help maintain a consistent and polished user experience.
We hope you enjoy exploring Poznań region in ProMods Europe v2.81. As always, we thank you for your continued support.
