TruckersMP

on May 7, 2026 at 8:30 am

The infamous road connecting Calais in France to Duisburg in Germany is gone. With the latest update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 by SCS Software, the Benelux rework has been released. This rework covers a substantial part of the road that tens of thousands of players have been driving on daily. In real life, there is no such country road connecting the two cities, and we knew the road would eventually disappear. In February of 2025, SCS Software announced the rework of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg and discussions started regarding whether TruckersMP might keep the road and if not, where the new ‘CD road’ might be. Many of us have created a TruckersMP account after seeing videos or streams of the chaos that can erupt on the road. Even PC Gamer wrote an article on its congestion titled ‘This multiplayer mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has one chaotic, congested road that can’t be fixed’. Let’s take a moment to recap what this road has meant for many of us and how it has developed. A Brief History of the CD Road When TruckersMP (formerly ETS2MP) first released in May 2014, the CD road was nowhere near its current popularity. Many players, however, did jobs between mainland Europe and the United Kingdom – keep in mind, the map was much smaller back then, without the number of DLCs we have nowadays. This led to the Europoort near Rotterdam gaining popularity and for years, this has been the hotspot for players. Around 2016, the Calais-Duisburg road started gaining in popularity and quickly became the busiest road on TruckersMP. Both cities, Calais and Duisburg, underwent several reworks by both SCS Software and TruckersMP in an attempt to better cater to the number of players using these cities to start and end their drives in. The intersection with the highway to Brussels and Rotterdam was also reworked as traffic jams started building up on both sides. With a rise in traffic and people driving with friends during COVID-19, demands for larger rest areas required an expansion of the two gas stations on the route, also introducing our Patron-only parking. If you would like to learn more about the Calais to Duisburg road, the scientific explanation of why there are so many players in one spot, and how the road has changed over the past decade, check out this video by our Game Moderator and streamer Krewlex: Where we are headed next We are working on supporting the update as soon as possible. Keep an eye on our social media and Discord to be the first to know when support for this update is released. We might also have a special event planned for the coming days… TruckersMP will not bring back the CD road. The edits to Calais and Duisburg will also be removed. We believe that the rework of the Benelux area is beautiful and the perfect moment for a much-needed change. During the last couple of weeks, before the release of the update, the Alps have gained in popularity but have also gained in performance issues as the area is already quite resource-demanding on its own. We have also seen a rise in traffic from Frankfurt to Prague, which is a beautiful route to drive and of similar length to the C-D road. Or will players stay closer to the original route and be willing to take more highways? Who knows! Over the coming months, we will monitor the traffic before implementing any traffic improvement measures, as we did on the CD road: larger gas stations and rest areas, improved timings of traffic lights, or one-way systems in big cities. We will only implement these where absolutely necessary. Rest assured, this new era will bring a new busy route. Happy trucking!

Greetings, truckers! Get ready to shift into gear, as we’ve got some egg-ceptional news heading your way! The TruckersMP yearly Easter event is back once again, this time with both a delivery event and an egg hunt! The Eggspress Delivery takes place from March 29th until April 19th. The Easter Egg Hunt takes place on April 5th. Eggspress Delivery Eggciting news, we have been hard at work constructing our brand-new chocolate factory just outside Magdeburg! The factory is humming at 120% capacity, and the loading docks are overflowing! We’ve produced enough Easter eggs and supplies to reach every corner of Europe – now we just need the horsepower to move them. The clock is ticking towards the holiday deadline. We’re reaching out to all available personnel to clear the warehouse and ensure these festive deliveries reach their destinations on time. Head over to Magdeburg, hitch up the trailer, and let’s get this event into full swing! While we recommend taking the cargoes directly from the factory for the full event experience, you may also use our job dispatcher to generate the specific cargoes required. You can find a step-by-step guide on how to use it in our Knowledge Base article here. As a reward for taking part in the Eggspress Delivery, you will receive a special achievement on your profile, as well as a bunny accessory for inside your truck if the community goal is met. For more information about the community goal, check it out on our homepage. To get this award, you must deliver a minimum of 5 cargoes across Europe. You must drive 100km/62mi per job to count. The cargoes for this event are called “Easter Supplies” & “Easter Decorations”. This event will begin on March 29th, and you have until April 19th to complete all the deliveries. In addition to the special profile achievement , the top 3 VTCs and top 3 individual players with the highest total kilometres driven during the event will receive a physical certificate in recognition of their efforts during the Eggspress Delivery event. Easter Egg Hunt We can’t let those bunnies ruin the party! Last year you saved the day, but this year the stakes are even higher. A few sneaky rabbits have stolen our partners’ Easter eggs and stashed them where they think we’ll never find them. If we don’t get them back soon, our celebration is ruined! We need the fastest, sharpest egg hunters on the road to track them down before those bunnies make a clean getaway. Our partners have pinpointed the general area where the bunnies were last seen, and we know the eggs are still there. Your mission is to find 6 eggs: the violet, green, blue, yellow, orange, and red ones. On top of those, you’re hunting for three special partner eggs from ProMods, TruckersFM, and Heavy Vehicles Turkey. Keep your eyes peeled, but stay alert because some of those eggs might be rolling around. The event will begin on April 5th, 15:00 UTC and you have until April 5th, 19:00 UTC to find all the eggs. DLC Required: None! How to play! 6 eggs and 3 partner eggs are stuck in Central Europe. Finding them is essential! If you are one of the top three players to find all 6 eggs AND 1 partner egg the fastest, you will win a special prize! The eggs and partner eggs are represented by our Event Team, with their player tag matching the colour of the egg they are hauling, e.g. ‘’Red Egg!’’, or a partner-coloured tag if they are a partner egg. They will not appear on the Player Panel or the TruckersMP map, so your only way to find them is by being on the lookout and watching your GPS! How does it work? Launch TruckersMP, select Euro Truck Simulator 2, and connect to the Easter Egg Hunt 2026 server. Prepare for the start at 15:00 UTC. Click here for more time zones. and be aware that player collisions will be disabled. Meet up with your fellow egg hunters in any city within the play area. Any non-collision company works. Leave your trailers parked at the garage for this one, as you won’t be needing them, and they’ll only slow you down. Remember: this is a race against the clock, and speed is everything! You will have 4 hours, from 15:00 UTC – 19:00 UTC, to make your journey throughout Central Europe. It’s your call which roads will get you to the eggs the fastest. Garage and service station (F7) travelling is permitted. The use of any other teleportation tools is prohibited. When you have found an egg or a partner egg, toggle your Player Panel ON. Then take a screenshot by pressing F12 to prove you found it. You must be able to see the egg or partner egg, as well as your Player Panel in order to have a valid submission. As soon as you’ve successfully tracked down all 6 coloured eggs AND at least 1 partner egg, you are eligible to submit your entry into the competition by completing our form below. Prizes! Following your hard efforts hunting down the eggs, here’s what you can win: Winner (first to find all the eggs and submit) – €25 Steam Gift Card 1st runner-up (second to find all the eggs and submit) – €15 Steam Gift Card 2nd runner-up (third to find all the eggs and submit) – €10 Steam Gift Card Digital gift cards will automatically convert to your local currency. Prize winners will be announced after the event. In addition to this, all participants who successfully hunt all 6 eggs plus 1 partner trailer and submit a valid entry before the clock runs out will receive a special profile achievement! Profile achievements are very exclusive and a great way to show off your skills and participation. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one! Submission Form The form will open on the day of the event. View the form here. Hints These will appear on the event day to egg you onto the right path! We hope you will enjoy our delivery event, and can hunt all the eggs and partner eggs before the end of the Egg Hunt – who knows, you might just be our lucky winner? Happy delivering and hunting! -TruckersMP Team
