The European truck market in ETS2 is dominated by the likes of Scania, Volvo, and DAF. However, there is a dedicated cult following for Japanese trucks. The Hino Profia mod fills a massive gap for players looking for something distinct from the European norm. Known in some markets as the Hino 700 Series, this truck is a beast designed for heavy haulage, and this mod brings that rugged Japanese aesthetic to the game.
Mod Compatibility: ETS2 Versions 1.35 – 1.40 (and often stable in later open beta/patches) Truck Type: Heavy Duty / Japanese Import
Don't expect the thousands of chassis options found in a stock Scania.

For a mod spanning versions 1.35 to 1.40, the visual quality is impressive, though it shows its age slightly compared to newer, high-definition SCS models.
