The Realistic Progressive Damage & Maintenance v1.0 mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 overhauls the game's wear and collision formulas. In vanilla ETS2 mechanical wear is almost nonexistent during normal driving, and the chassis and cab stay at 0% indefinitely unless you crash. This mod introduces gradual degradation inspired by real-world commercial trucking maintenance schedules. Every kilometer driven now affects the condition of the vehicle and demands the driver's attention.
• The engine, gearbox and drivetrain degrade realistically with every kilometer, so oil changes, filter replacements and tune-ups are needed every 5,000–10,000 km.
• Tires have an irreversible tread lifespan, meaning a fresh set must be purchased every 35,000–45,000 km.
• Suspension air bladders, cab shock absorbers, bushings and brake pads wear down over long hauls.
• Crash physics are speed-proportional, so even a minor parking bump leaves visible damage.
The mod is compatible with ETS2 1.60+ and works with all trucks and map DLCs, giving the game a genuine maintenance routine.
