ETS2 1.61 Update Brings Volvo FH Series 6 100 Year Edition

SCS Software has announced that the upcoming 1.61 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 will introduce the Volvo FH Series 6 100 Year Edition. This addition allows players to drive a special variant of the truck that aligns with Volvo Trucks’ celebration of its 100th anniversary. The update integrates these new cosmetic and interior elements directly into the base game, ensuring that all players with access to the Volvo FH Series 6 can utilize the centennial edition once the patch is live.

Exterior Customization Options

The primary visual changes for the Volvo FH Series 6 100 Year Edition focus on the exterior of the Aero XL cabin. The update introduces two distinct paint jobs designed to reflect the anniversary theme. These are labeled as “100y Edition – Night” and “100y Edition – Day.” The designs feature distinctive color striping, with the Night variant utilizing dark tones and the Day variant using light tones. Both paint schemes are complemented by two additional Centennial logos positioned on either side of the truck.

Players will also have the option to select from two different light box configurations. One light box features the 100y logo, while the other displays the FH16 logo. These choices allow for further personalization of the truck’s front-end appearance, distinguishing the anniversary edition from the standard Volvo FH Series 6 models currently available in the game.

Interior Features and Accessories

Beyond the exterior paint, the 1.61 update adds a new interior option specifically for the 100 Year Edition. This interior configuration includes black leather door panels with unique stitching, along with matching carpets. A rear wall decoration featuring the 100 Year Edition logo is also part of this package. Additionally, the dashboard will feature ambient LED lighting, which players can choose to set to either red or blue.

To complete the interior setup, SCS Software is including a range of exclusive accessories. These items include a black leather steering wheel and new two-tone seats. The seats combine a black leather base with a grey textile upper section, and they feature the 100y logo. These accessories are available for customization, allowing players to tailor the cabin environment to match the exterior aesthetic of the anniversary truck.

Context and Availability

Volvo Group was established in 1927 and is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary next year. To mark this occasion, Volvo Trucks is introducing the anniversary edition of its latest model, the Volvo FH Series 6. SCS Software has partnered with Volvo Trucks to bring the updates associated with this real-world edition into Euro Truck Simulator 2. The company stated that it is proud to be bringing these updates to the game, allowing the virtual trucking community to participate in the celebrations.

The new additions will be reflected in the base game of Euro Truck Simulator 2. This means that the new accessories and paint jobs will be available for the Aero XL cabin of the Volvo FH Series 6 without requiring a separate paid expansion pack. Players will be able to drive the centennial edition when the 1.61 update releases. SCS Software has not provided a specific release date for the 1.61 update in the announcement, but it is described as upcoming.

The announcement includes a preview video showcasing the new look for both the interior and exterior of the truck. The video highlights the driver-centric features and the design elements that reflect Volvo’s century of innovation. SCS Software encourages players to follow their social media channels on X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, TikTok, and YouTube, or to subscribe to their newsletter, to stay informed about future updates and announcements for their games.

This update expands the customization options for one of the most popular trucks in the Euro Truck Simulator 2 roster. By adding specific anniversary-themed paint jobs and interior details, the game provides a way for players to engage with the real-world milestone of Volvo Trucks. The integration into the base game ensures broad accessibility for the player base, as no additional purchase is required to access these specific cosmetic changes for the Volvo FH Series 6.
