· One of the main changes in the 1.59 update is the complete redesign of the Skill menu.
· The top displays the available skill points to distribute, and each of the 6 in-game skills has 6 levels.
· Selecting a specific skill allows you to view its level-by-level effects in detail and invest points to develop your character.

· The Benelux region has been completely revamped in this update.
· Approximately 4.5% of new roads have been added, and the three countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg have been reworked.
· The section previously known as the 'Road of Fools' has been removed, and bottlenecks that caused traffic congestion have been improved.

· A new DAF factory has been added in Eindhoven, allowing you to pick up completed DAF trucks and transport them to nearby cities.
· North of Gothenburg, a 1:1 scale испытательный полигон Volvo (Volvo test track) has been added as a secret location through collaboration with Volvo.
· This test track is useful for testing vehicle suspension and is only accessible to owners of the Scandinavia DLC.

· In collaboration with Thermo King, 6 officially licensed refrigeration units have been added.
· There are 4 types for standard refrigerated trailers and 1 for special trailers, and the existing standard refrigeration units have all been replaced with Thermo King products.
· Models include A360, SLXI 300, A400, SLXI 400, A500, and UT 1400R.

· A widget has been added to the in-game HUD to display financial status and company growth rate.
· This widget can be set to always display, display only from the driver's seat or externally, or be completely hidden.
· Additionally, a damage monitoring feature has been added to show the current damage percentage of the truck, trailer, and cargo in real-time.

· The F7 key function has been changed to include a feature that returns the vehicle to the road if it is in an abnormal position.
· This feature does not apply to external cargo jobs provided by World of Trucks and may result in the cancellation of the cargo.
· This change appears to be made with console releases in mind and also serves as an anti-cheat measure.

· The sound of traffic has been significantly improved to be more realistic.
· Different engine and tire friction sounds have been applied based on vehicle type, such as passenger cars, buses, and trucks.
· In particular, the monotonous noise that was pointed out in previous updates has been improved, making the sounds of passing vehicles much more natural.

· While the 1.59 update is relatively small in scale, future updates for ETS2 and ATS are expected to follow this trend.
· Instead of large-scale content updates like in the past, there is a higher possibility of focusing on improving existing content and making small additions.
· It is realistic for players to expect about 1-2 truck additions, country reworks, or regional DLCs per year.
