Gameplay
Euro Truck Simulator features a realistic experience for driving trucks around Europe. The player has to deliver goods around Europe while obeying street signs, highway rules and managing their fuel levels. Euro Truck Simulator has different truck models from different real companies. Each truck has its own engine power, tires and size that effect driving. The game doesn't feature an ending and allows players to continue after having completed all objectives.

The trucks included are the Mercedes-Benz Actros (known as Majestic), the Renault Magnum (known as Runner), the Scania R-series (known as Swift) and the Volvo FH16 (known as Valiant).
