Exciting news! With the upcoming 1.56 update, we will introduce new cargoes from the company CZ LOKO, a renowned manufacturer of locomotives, both to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 base game and also as part of the Special Transport DLC!
We are very excited that we can welcome CZ LOKO to the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2, and we'd like to thank them for allowing us to bring their impressive locomotives into the game, giving players the chance to haul them across Europe in true trucking style!
In the base game, we will be adding the locomotives MUV 75 and EffiShunter 300. While these aren't the largest or heaviest machines you'll encounter, don't underestimate them - make sure your truck is well-prepared to handle the load. The MUV 75 tips the scales at over 14 tonnes, while the EffiShunter 300 weighs in at a hefty 36 tonnes.
The Special Transport already features oversized cargoes such as the Articulated Hauler, Large Reservoir Tank, Giant Silo, and many more. Now, the roster is expanding with a true heavyweight - the EffiShunter 1000, a massive locomotive built by CZ LOKO.
Truckers will haul this behemoth on a lowbed trailer. Just how big is it? The total height (including the trailer) reaches an impressive 5.3 metres, with a length of 16 metres and a width of 3.1 metres. Navigating corners with the EffiShunter 1000 in tow will demand precision and nerves of steel.
Your truck will need a powerful engine for this job - the locomotive alone weighs 80 tonnes, plus another 10 tonnes for the trailer. That's 90 tonnes of pure challenge rolling behind you.
You'll be able to deliver the EffiShunter 1000 along three routes: Berlin to Szczecin, Kassel to Hamburg, and Bremen to Travemünde. Each journey will be escorted by two escort vehicles to help ensure a safe trip from departure to delivery. Still, it's up to you to avoid any mishaps - and to keep this stunning locomotive free from so much as a scratch.
Although the EffiShunter 300 and EffiShunter 1000 are inspired by real locomotive models, we recreated them based on CZ LOKO's design concept to reflect the company's vision for the future. This means you'll get to transport machines that haven’t even entered real-world production yet!
Remember that if you want to haul this beauty of a cargo, you will need to own the Special Transport DLC. Don't have it yet? You can grab it anytime on Steam and gain access to a whole range of oversized loads. And when the 1.56 update rolls out, the EffiShunter 1000 will be added to the DLC for free.
