Euro Truck Simulator 2 update 1.62 is set to introduce the DAF XG+ Emerald, Sapphire and 30 Years in Czechia editions. The announcement dated October 16, 2026 presents their exterior finishes and cabin details. These are announced additions for the update; the announcement does not establish that they are already available.
For players planning an Emerald or Sapphire configuration, the practical detail is the chassis: the painted side skirts described for these editions require 4x2. That requirement applies to those specific accessories and should not be extended to every part of either edition.
Emerald brings Forest Dawn green into a coordinated finish
The Emerald edition combines Forest Dawn green paint with a white DAF logo and an Emerald badge on the side. The paint, contrasting logo and named badge give its exterior a distinct identity within the announced selection.
Emerald’s interior customization includes dedicated floor mats and edition-specific curtains, alongside an emerald-inspired diamond pattern on the mattress and upper bunk. For anyone choosing a finish around the cabin as well as the bodywork, these textiles are part of Emerald’s announced customization.
Sapphire pairs blue paint with a black DAF logo
Sapphire uses Sapphire Blue paint and a black DAF logo. Where Emerald pairs green bodywork with a white logo, Sapphire offers a blue-and-black combination. Those are concrete differences to consider when choosing between the exterior finishes.
The chassis condition matters if the painted side skirts are part of that choice. Selecting the paint scheme alone does not resolve the accessory requirement: the described skirts are intended for the 4x2 configuration. This is a compatibility detail for the skirts, rather than a general restriction on the edition.
Royal orange marks 30 Years in Czechia
The 30 Years in Czechia edition celebrates thirty years of DAF’s presence in the Czech Republic. Royal orange paint and anniversary logos carry that theme onto the exterior, while the XG+ cabin receives seats with DAF 30 embroidery and orange diamond stitching.
A black DAF badge is also announced, tied to the engine power configuration, with the option to restore the original silver badge. The announced detail concerns the badge’s appearance; it does not establish an increase in engine performance.
If the painted side skirts are central to your planned Emerald or Sapphire truck, account for the 4x2 requirement when choosing the chassis. For the anniversary edition, the distinctive choices are its orange finish, commemorative upholstery and badge options, all announced for update 1.62.
