Great news for Euro Truck Simulator 2 players! The Volvo FH Series 6 (which represents the most recent Volvo FH Euro 6 models, often informally referred to by the community as "2025" models or later versions) has officially arrived in ETS2.
SCS Software, the developers of Euro Truck Simulator 2, released the Volvo FH Series 6 as official content in December 2024. This means you don't necessarily need to rely solely on third-party mods to experience the latest Volvo FH, although community mods will still offer additional customization.
Key Features of the Official Volvo FH Series 6 in ETS2:
The official integration of the Volvo FH Series 6 brings a wealth of authentic details and customization options:
- Aerodynamic Design: The truck boasts a sleek, modern, and aerodynamically optimized design, contributing to better fuel efficiency in-game.
- Engine Options: It features a range of powerful Euro 6 engines, typically from 420 to 780 horsepower (HP), catering to different hauling needs, from standard cargo to heavy-duty transport.
- Chassis Configurations: You'll find various chassis options, including 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, and even 8x4, providing versatility for different loads and routes.

Why the "2025" or "Euro 6" Naming?
The "Euro 6" refers to the emission standard the real-life trucks adhere to, indicating their modern engineering. The "2025" often comes from modders releasing updated versions of their Volvo FH mods or DLCs (Downloadable Content) that reflect the latest real-world updates or design elements, sometimes even before official game content is released. With the official Series 6 in the game, it covers these newer models.
How to Get the Volvo FH Series 6 in ETS2:
- Ensure Your Game is Updated: Make sure your Euro Truck Simulator 2 is updated to the latest version. The Volvo FH Series 6 was released with a game update (around version 1.49 or later).
- Purchase in-game: Once your game is updated, simply visit any Volvo Truck Dealer in the game. The new FH Series 6 models should be available for purchase and customization, just like any other in-game truck.
While the official Series 6 is excellent, the modding community might still release DLC-style mods or accessory packs that further enhance it with even more specific details, lights, or interior items. Keep an eye on popular ETS2 modding websites if you want to explore additional customization beyond what the official content offers.
