To teleport in Euro Truck Simulator 2, turn on the developer console by setting uset g_developer "1" and uset g_console "1" in config.cfg. In game, press ~, type goto and a city (for example goto berlin) and press Enter. This moves the free camera. Press Ctrl+F9 to move your truck to the camera. Teleporting happens in your own game, not on the server.

​
Before you start

  • Close Euro Truck Simulator 2 before you edit config.cfg.
  • Back up your profile folder first if you want an easy way back.

​
Step 1: Turn on the developer console

1

Open config.cfg

Open config.cfg in a text editor:
2

Change two lines

Find these lines and change "0" to "1":
3

Save and start the game

Save the file and start the game. The setting stays on.

​
Step 2: Teleport with goto and Ctrl+F9

1

Open the console

Load your profile and press ~ (the key under Esc on many keyboards).
2

Type goto

Type goto and a city name, then press Enter. The free camera jumps there.
Put city names that contain spaces in quotes. The start of a name is usually enough, because the game matches short forms.
3

Move your truck

Close the console and press Ctrl+F9. Your truck moves to the camera position.
4

Go back to the normal camera

Press 1 (or another camera key) to return to the cab view.

​
Teleport to any spot with the free camera

  1. Press 0 to start the free camera.
  2. Fly with the numpad: 8 forward, 5 back, 4 left, 6 right, 9 up, 3 down. The mouse wheel changes speed.
  3. Stop above the road where you want to be and press Ctrl+F9.
You can also give coordinates in the form goto x;y;z.

​
Does teleport work on a Convoy server?

Teleporting is a single-player developer feature in each player’s own game. Your FREAKHOSTING server has no teleport setting or command, and moderators can’t teleport players. On online World of Trucks jobs, vehicle teleport doesn’t work. The server’s hide_colliding setting (on by default) hides a vehicle that collides with you right after a teleport.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why does F9 not teleport my truck in ETS2?

Since update 1.41 the key is Ctrl+F9, not F9. The console must also be on (g_developer and g_console set to 1).

​
Why does the ~ key not open the console?

Check both lines in config.cfg are "1" and that you saved the file with the game closed. On some keyboard layouts the key is different; SCS lets you remap it in controls.sii.

​
Is there a teleport mod for ETS2?

You don’t need one. goto and Ctrl+F9 are built into the game.

​
Can I teleport during a World of Trucks job?

No. Vehicle teleport doesn’t work on online (World of Trucks) jobs. Finish or cancel the job first.
