"The country famous for its banks, chocolate and watches covers an area of 41,285 square km. Swiss capital city Bern is notable for its old town centre and a number of heritage sites. Switzerland has 71,345 km of roads, total length of the autobahn network is 1,638 km." |
Switzerland (German: Schweiz; French: Suisse; Italian: Svizzera; Latin: Helvetica) is a landlocked country in Western Europe, featured in both Euro Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.
The country is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.
Switzerland is famous for its location in the Alps scenery, and hence curvy roads and tunnels.
Switzerland, along with Norway, Russia, Türkiye, United Kingdom, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania are the eleven non-EU countries featured in ETS2 (without the Scandinavia, Beyond the Baltic Sea, Road to the Black Sea and West Balkans DLCs, Switzerland is one of two non-EU countries, the other being the United Kingdom.). Switzerland and Norway are members of the Schengen Area, there was no border control when entering or leaving the country. However, since the 1.50 update, the country features border crossings when a player enter or leave the country. It is also the first time that the base game area of Euro Truck Simulator 2 features border crossings.
On September 6, 2022, SCS announced that they planned the next rework of the base game map, after Germany rework and Austria rework, with Switzerland being the third.[1]
The entire country of Switzerland has been completely reworked from scratch, and has been released in the update 1.50. All cities, surrounding areas, and road networks have been given a complete overhaul including the famous Alps.

In particular, only one Autobahn crosses the Alps towards Italy, with the other two Alps-crossing roads being minor roads. There are also minor roads connecting France and Austria, while the only featured access into Germany is an Autobahn.
Switzerland imposes only two main speed limits for trucks. Excluding special speed restrictions at places such as road work sites, trucks are limited to 50 km/h (31 mph) in cities, and 80 km/h (50 mph) elsewhere.
