Marcopolo G6 1550 LD 8X2 v1.0
The **Marcopolo G6 1550 LD 8×2** is a legendary bus, and a very popular mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2. This bus is known for its size and comfort, and the “G6” series (Generation 6) is a classic model in many South American countries. The “1550 LD” refers to its specific model and “Low Deck” configuration, while the **8×2** specifies a four-axle setup—two steering axles at the front and two drive axles at the back. This makes it a unique and impressive vehicle to drive in the game.
Key Features to Expect from the Mod
A high-quality mod for this bus will often include a lot of customization and detail to make the experience as immersive as possible.
You can usually expect:
* **Detailed 3D Model:** The bus should have a realistic exterior and a well-designed, functional interior with a custom dashboard.
* **Unique Physics:** Driving a large, four-axle bus is different from a regular truck. A good mod will simulate the unique handling and turning radius of an 8×2 vehicle.
* **Custom Sounds:** Look for mods that include a custom sound package for the engine and other features, as this greatly enhances the realism.
* **Customization Options:** The best mods will let you change things like the paint, wheels, interior accessories, and even add custom skins from real-life bus companies.
* **Passenger System:** While this is often a separate mod, some bus mods are designed to work with passenger mods, allowing you to take on jobs as a passenger transport driver.
