What this mod does
In ETS2 you haul cargo for companies made up by SCS. Real companies & gas stations, by MLH82, replaces them with real companies and gives industrial areas and service areas a much more recognizable look. Version 2.3 works from 1.48 up to 1.61, with DirectX 11 and OpenGL.
What it changes
- SCS delivery companies become real companies.
- Company trailers carry those companies’ branding.
- The in-game fast food restaurants become real chains.
- The liveries of airplanes and company vans in traffic also change.
- The author also lists real gas stations and billboards.
Compatible maps
It covers the base map and every DLC: Going East, Scandinavia, Vive la France, Italia, Beyond the Baltic Sea, Road to the Black Sea, Iberia, Greece, Nordic Horizons and the Germany, Austria, Benelux and Switzerland reworks. West Balkans is partly done: companies complete and gas stations at 50%. According to the author, it also works with the most popular map mods.
Load order and conflicts
Place it at the very top, or at least above maps and mods that change traffic textures or logos. It doesn’t combine with other real company, gas station or billboard mods. Due to game limitations, the changes apply in every country at once.
Popularity: the mod was published on Steam Workshop on February 15, 2023 and has more than 300,000 subscribers (as of October 22, 2026). The same author maintains a separate version for American Truck Simulator on its Steam Workshop page.
Limitations the author acknowledges: SCS decides where each depot and each gas station is, so the mod can’t choose which brand appears in each country; also, some trailers and cargoes are still random or a poor fit due to game limitations.
Unofficial mod made by a fan. The names, logos and liveries belong to their respective owners; neither the author nor Holymod is affiliated with them.

Common problems
Does it work with the map DLCs?
Yes, with all of them; in West Balkans the gas stations are still at 50%.
Can I use it in only some countries?
No. The author explains that the game doesn't allow changing companies per country: it's all or nothing.
Does it work in Convoy?
The author says it works, although it isn't designed for that mode.
Is there an ATS version?
Yes, MLH82 has it in a separate thread and Workshop page.
Does it work on the 1.62 beta?
The author lists compatibility from 1.48 to 1.61. If you're playing the 1.62 open beta (since October 22, 2026), check the changelog on Steam Workshop first.
Why does a gas station have a brand that doesn't exist in that country?
The change is global: each in-game company is replaced by the same real brand in every country, and SCS decides where they're placed.
Can it be combined with another real gas station mod?
No. The author says it's incompatible with other real company or gas station mods: use only one.
