Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) has evolved from a simple driving game into a logistics simulator that mirrors real-world transport trends, including the shift toward zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). This paper examines the feasibility of integrating the Nikola Tre FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) and Nikola Tre BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) into ETS2. We analyze technical specifications (range, refueling time, weight), in-game infrastructure requirements (hydrogen stations, megawatt chargers), and gameplay impact. The paper concludes that while the BEV suits regional distribution, the FCEV is uniquely viable for ETS2’s core long-haul gameplay, provided SCS Software implements a hydrogen economy layer.

Before we dive into the game, let's take a quick look at what makes Nikola trucks so special. The company was founded in 2015 by Trevor Milton, and since then, it has been making waves in the automotive world with its zero-emission trucks. The Nikola One, the company's flagship model, is a hydrogen fuel cell electric truck that boasts an impressive range of up to 1,200 miles on a single fill-up. With its sleek design and eco-friendly technology, it's no wonder that Nikola trucks have become a favorite among environmentally conscious truckers.
