The developers have already hinted that update 1.32 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will be somewhat special, as it will introduce a long-awaited feature – the ability to purchase semi-trailers as personal property.

Surely every player has already imagined such a system, its functionality, and the level of realism for purchased semi-trailers they dreamed of before; some expect minimal functionality, while others definitely expect maximum realism with a wealth of features. Currently, ETS 2 and ATS already have many different systems running in parallel, occasionally intersecting, while others are tightly dependent on each other. Therefore, when adding the functionality of personal semi-trailers, the developers had to consider all the factors already present in their games and avoid breaking them, so as not to ruin the achievements players have earned over many years. Thus, the introduction of new functionality, such as the ability to own semi-trailers, is quite extensive, but its implementation and testing should not take longer than the interval between two standard game updates. A fairly large team of developers has been working on this functionality for about a year.

The developers have tried to thoroughly work out the foundation, the core, of the personal semi-trailer functionality, but after the launch of update 1.32, some elements will still be unavailable for editing or use alongside this feature. However, don’t worry—these will be aligned and made available in subsequent game updates. The developers at SCS Software hope that update 1.32 will please many players, especially those fans who consider themselves part of the more hardcore community, especially since the semi-trailers you purchase in the game will feature customization and the ability to adjust many elements, similar to how it is done with trucks.

In the new semi-trailer shop section, you will be able to customize and paint your semi-trailer however you like. Various chassis types, container types, and many different paint jobs will be available. You will also be able to fully customize the wheels on your semi-trailer (just like with trucks). Using various paint jobs (in ETS 2), you can create your own semi-trailer paint style that fits the overall style of your company, and your hired drivers will be able to take the semi-trailers you have purchased and use them for cargo deliveries and order fulfillment.

Players will have access to the following types of semi-trailers: refrigerated, insulated, curtain-sided, and tankers. Additionally, in Euro Truck Simulator 2, players will be able to purchase double semi-trailers with different numbers of axles, up to 6-axle double semi-trailers. In American Truck Simulator, players will have access to semi-trailers 28, 45, 48, or 53 feet long, both double and triple (including the Rocky Mountain semi-trailer – availability of which depends on the geographic location of your headquarters to comply with transport restrictions and regulations in various US states). The games will offer various types of semi-trailers with different lengths and configurations, allowing players to transport any type of cargo currently available in the games.

The introduction of the ability to purchase semi-trailers as personal property means mandatory changes to the simulators’ economic components. Players will be able to use direct delivery functionality, allowing them to choose cargo types and kinds without hesitation, while others will be able to select cargo that fits the semi-trailer they previously purchased using the updated freight market and orders. The developers have tried to create as many new visual markers and icons as possible to help navigate the updated freight market pages.

Before the release of update 1.32 and the start of the open beta testing phase, the developers promise to share a lot more new information with us, and they also promise not to delay the transition to open testing.

The open beta testing of update 1.32 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has already started, and it will be available for American Truck Simulator a little later.

The main feature of this update is personal trailers, which everyone has been waiting for so long.
More than a year was spent developing this functionality. Now trailers can be purchased, customized, and painted. The trailer can be used by the owner themselves or by any of their drivers. However, the owner can also lock a specific trailer if they wish to use it exclusively.

While working on trailers, some had to be completely redone, and others partially redesigned. Double trailers are in the game, but their use is limited to certain regions only.

Owning trailers necessitated adding additional icons for accessing the new functionality through the game's main menu (desktop). Now there are two large widgets on the right side of the screen instead of three smaller ones. New screens were created for managing trailers, and several existing company management screens had to be modified to implement the new feature. At the same time, font clarity and color perception were improved.

The second big news is the beginning of the restoration of old parts of the ETS2 game world. It will take time to overhaul all the districts in need, but the first step has been taken. The road network in the northern part of Germany was replaced, and all German cities received a facelift. In fact, four German cities were destroyed and rebuilt from scratch.

Other additions and changes:
- Scania 2016 is now present in traffic, and the player will transport brand-new trucks from the factory in Södertälje to the dealer.
- Trucks in traffic now have cables to trailers, with an option to turn them for presentation purposes.
- Lighting has been adjusted and day-night synchronization in ATS has been refined.
- The game code has been optimized, which in some scenarios increases FPS.
- The speed limit in France has been reduced to 80 km/h on certain roads.
- The automatic parking brake is now disabled by default; therefore, those who like this feature need to enable it again in the game settings.

One of the reasons the developers decided to expand the game world to the northeast was to increase the variety of species along the road. They were looking for a change, and the Baltics definitely differ significantly from the previous DLC Italia. There are extensive areas intersected by the road network between major cities, and the developers are doing their best to emulate the driving experience on these roads with local architecture and small villages.

Since players will have to use narrow rural roads quite often, to achieve that special atmosphere, the developers reworked many previously released objects and models of plants, shrubs, and trees, affecting models of pines, birches, cherries, aspens, lindens, and oaks. There are also completely new representatives of flora – silver fir, hogweed.
