Initially players only have access to their starting country, except if it contains less than three cities. In this case one or more adjacent countries will be accessible as well. For example, starting the game in Italy or Switzerland, you get connection to the other for free. Then, players choose their first truck with a budget of €100,000. After this, players can start taking jobs from various fictitious companies and delivering cargo to various cities in their starting country to earn money. This money can then be spent on a new truck, upgrading the current truck, expanding the business to other countries and obtaining a license to drive flammables and chemicals. ==Truck Brands== * Valiant [Volvo] * Swift [Scania] * Majestic [Mercedes - Benz] * Runner [Renault] == Countries == * Austria * Belgium * Czech Republic * France * Germany * Italy * Netherlands * Poland * Portugal [not in Euro Truck Simulator 2] * Spain [not in Euro Truck Simulator 2] * Switzerland * United Kingdom === Trucks === As the game is set in Europe, it features European truck designs exclusively and feature actual working instruments such as flashing indicators, temperature and low fuel warning lights, wipers, and gauges.
