Introducing the Volvo FH 2024 AERO v1.0 for ETS2
Good news! The Volvo FH Aero has officially launched in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2). This addition was made available through a free update from SCS Software, the game’s developers.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Volvo FH 2024 Aero in ETS2:
Official Launch Date: The Volvo FH Series 6, featuring the new Volvo FH16 Aero and FH Aero with I-Save, debuted in Euro Truck Simulator 2 on December 17, 2024, with game update 1.53. This addition was highly anticipated and marks a significant update from SCS Software.
Highlights (Official Release):
Aerodynamic Design: The truck boasts a longer, streamlined front section aimed at enhancing fuel efficiency in real life, accurately replicated within the game.
Engine Choices: It includes the robust 780 HP D16 engine, making it the most powerful truck available (as of its release date).
Cabin Options: Various cabin types are offered, such as Sleeper, Globetrotter, Globetrotter XL, and Globetrotter XXL, all featuring an Aero variant option.
Chassis Options: Choose from a variety of chassis configurations (4×2, 6×2, 6×4, 8×4).
Customization: A wide range of customization options is available, including grilles, bumpers, paint jobs, and interior designs (FH16, FH Dynamic, FH Progressive, and FH Robust).
Digital Camera Mirror System: A modern feature allows players to use a digital camera mirror system instead of conventional mirrors, offering a unique perspective.
Authentic Sounds: SCS Software recorded genuine sounds from real trucks, enhancing the realism of the game.
How to Access It: Since this is an official feature, simply make sure your Euro Truck Simulator 2 is updated to version 1.53 or later. You can then find the Volvo FH Aero (FH Series 6) at any Volvo truck dealer in the game.
Complementary Model to FH Series 5: In addition to the FH Series 6 (Aero), SCS also unveiled the Volvo FH Series 5 (a non-Aero model, but still part of the new generation) in the same update, providing players with a complete lineup of modern Volvo FH trucks.
Modding Community: While the official release is fantastic, the modding community is sure to develop extra tuning packs, accessories, skins, and even standalone versions with unique attributes for the Volvo FH Aero, further expanding customization options. Look out for “painted parts” mods or “reworked” mods that enhance specific details or additional choices.
