SCS Software shipped two Euro Truck Simulator 2 expansions within three days. The Iceland DLC arrived on November 10, 2026, and the Coaches DLC followed on November 12, 2026. Both are available on PC through Steam. Iceland is a classic map expansion, while Coaches is something new: the first passenger transport in an SCS truck game. According to SCS, Coaches will grow over time with more vehicles and features instead of arriving as a series of separate DLCs. Both releases matter to anyone running a Convoy server, because the map has changed.
What the two DLCs bring
Iceland with 14 cities: The Iceland DLC covers the whole island, including Reykjavík and Akureyri. Everything is tied together by the Ring Road, which runs past coastlines, small settlements and remote corners of the island.

New ferry connections: Iceland is not connected by road, but by ferry. There are links from Hirtshals in Denmark and Ålesund in Norway to Seyðisfjörður, plus Rotterdam Europoort in the Netherlands to Þorlákshöfn. On the island itself, a ferry runs between Stykkishólmur and Brjánslækur across Breiðafjörður.
Single-lane bridges: Iceland's narrow bridges are recreated the way they work in reality. You wait until the other side is clear and cross one at a time. In a convoy with several drivers, that is a genuine bottleneck.
Industry and Special Transport: The island adds custom-built farms, quarries and a silica factory in Húsavík. New Special Transport routes run past the industrial areas of Reykjavík and its waterfront, among other places.
Scenic viewpoints: Landmarks such as Jökulsárlón, Goðafoss, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Víkurfjara, Geysir and Thingvellir come with viewpoints and their own camera shots.
Three licensed coaches: The Coaches DLC adds the Scania Touring, the Volvo 9700 DD and the MAN Lion's Coach, each with its own handling and its own customisation options.

Passengers want a smooth ride: New to the game are a G-force indicator and a passenger satisfaction rating. Take a corner too fast or brake too hard and your passengers notice immediately.
Adjusted world: SCS reworked parts of the map for the coaches. There are new and refreshed bus stations as well as tourist stops at landmarks.
World of Trucks event: "Cruising Iceland" runs alongside the release, from November 10, 2026 to January 3, 2027. The event runs through World of Trucks, not through your server.
What this means for your server
Export your server packages again. This is the key point. A Convoy server loads its map, DLC and mod configuration from server_packages.sii and server_packages.dat. According to SCS, packages exported from a different game version stop the server from starting. So after every game update and after every change to DLCs or mods, you have to create the packages again in the game (console command export_server_packages) and copy them to the server.
Two releases, two exports. Iceland on November 10 and Coaches on November 12 were two separate changes to the world. If you only exported after the Iceland release, you are already missing the bus stations and tourist stops from the Coaches update.
The server itself needs no DLC. The dedicated server tool runs without owning the game or any DLC. What counts is the client the packages come from: Iceland is only available to your convoy if it is installed there.
Everyone needs the same set. To join, players need the same game version, the same map DLCs and the same mods as the server. As soon as Iceland is part of your packages, anyone without the DLC stays out. Settle that within your group before you export.
Check your map mods. Map mods rarely work with the base game right away after a new map DLC. Before exporting, check whether your mods have been updated for the current game version and remove outdated ones first. Our guide Add mods shows how mods get onto the server.
Keep a copy of your configuration. Back up server_config.sii together with the old packages before you replace anything. That is your way back if the server does not come up after the swap. The easiest route is a backup of your server.

Upload the files and start the server
Copy both files to the server, then check that it starts cleanly and shows up in the server list. -
Tell your group
Let your drivers know which DLCs they need. Without Iceland, nobody gets onto an Iceland server. The guide Join the server explains how they connect.
