The DAF XF 106 Facelift: This update introduced the new DAF XF 106 with a completely reworked interior, exterior, and chassis options. It remains one of the most beloved trucks in the community.
Heavy Cargo Pack Compatibility: While the DLC came later, v1.30 laid the groundwork for the heavy cargo physics, allowing for more challenging hauls.
Italy Map Expansion (Base Game Integration): Version 1.30 integrated massive parts of the Italy DLC framework into the core game, improving textures and road networks even for non-DLC owners.
Random Events System (Early Version): This update introduced the first iteration of random road events—accidents, roadworks, and breakdowns—making long hauls feel alive.
Performance Optimization: v1.30 was praised for running smoother on older hardware than versions 1.31 or 1.32, which added more demanding features like owned trailers.
