JOST has been manufacturing fifth wheel coupling devices globally since 1956. They submitted the patent for the very first steel cast fifth wheel coupling, and have continued their dedication to innovation ever since. Today, we are excited to share with you that JOST will be coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2!
We are happy to bring this leader in the truck industry to our simulation titles as we plan to replace all non-branded fifth wheels in ETS2 with JOST branded 5th wheels. Each truck brand will receive several different 5th wheel models (one for each chassis type).
This will be done in two phases, the first phase, which is now available to try in our 1.45 Open Beta for Euro Truck Simulator 2, will include JOST fifth wheels on Mercedes Benz New Actros, Renault Trucks T, Scania Next-Gen S, Scania Next-Gen R, and DAF 2021 XG and XG+ vehicles.
The second phase will bring JOST fifth wheels to the remaining trucks in our ETS2 fleet, where all trucks will have JOST wheels as the default standard. We are happy to work with such a known company within the industry and to bring their strong core brand to our virtual roads.
We hope you enjoy this new addition to our upcoming 1.45 update, we can't wait to see you hooking up your trailers and trucking safely with JOST behind you.
