MERCEDINHO v1.0
In the Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) community, “Mercedinho” is a popular and affectionate term used by Brazilian players to refer to certain mods of older, smaller Mercedes-Benz trucks. The name is a diminutive of “Mercedes” in Portuguese, and it’s used to describe models like the Mercedes-Benz 1113, 1518, or other classic “bicudo” (long-nosed) trucks that were very common in Brazil.
These mods are a huge part of the “Brazilian-style” ETS2 experience, which often involves a focus on:
- Classic “BR-style” trucks: The mods often come with a variety of accessories and configurations specific to the Brazilian trucking scene, such as custom exhaust stacks, special wheel sets, and various light options.
- Detailed Customization: Mercedinho mods are known for their extensive customization options, including different chassis types, multiple engine and transmission choices, and a huge selection of paint jobs and stickers.
- Realistic Sounds and Physics: To capture the feel of driving these classic trucks, the mods typically include custom sound packs that replicate the distinct engine and air brake sounds of older Mercedes-Benz trucks.
