What this mod does
The Volkswagen Meteor is the heavy tractor unit that Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus sells in South America, a truck that isn’t in the base game. This mod by Cristhian Cardoso, a Brazilian modder known for his trucks and buses from that market, turns it into just another truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
What’s included
- Standalone truck: it doesn’t replace any SCS model.
- You buy it at an in-game dealer, like any other truck.
- An official skin edit file on the author’s website to create your own paint jobs.
- It’s the base for lots of community add-ons, such as paint job packs and engine sound packs.
Who it’s for
For anyone who wants to break away from the usual seven European brands and drive a modern truck from another continent. It’s a good fit if you like Brazilian mods or want something different for your fleet without paying anything.
Version
The author’s website lists it as compatible from ETS2 1.51 to 1.61. The easiest way to keep it up to date is to subscribe on Steam Workshop, where he publishes it with his own account; his website also links a manual download on ShareMods.

Which dealer is it at?
The author's website places it at a specific dealer; if you can't see it, check the mod dealer too.
Are there more trucks by the same author?
Yes: the Volvo NL12 EDC, Mercedes-Benz LS 1938 and Agrale 14000 S, among others, plus a pack on Steam that bundles them.
