The core gameplay loop revolves around delivering cargo between various cities across Europe using trucks. Players can use officially licensed truck models from brands such as MAN, Scania and Renault. Driving mechanics include simulation elements like speed limits, traffic rules and fuel management. Players have the ability to customize their trucks both in terms of performance and visual appearance. Performance-oriented components such as engines, chassis and cabs can be upgraded, while cosmetic modifications including paint jobs, lights, horns and various cabin accessories are also available. The game enables players to share photos and participate in community events through an online platform called World of Trucks.

In Euro Truck Simulator 2, players begin their careers working as hired drivers for other companies. Earnings and experience points gained from successful deliveries allow them to purchase their own trucks. Owners of personal trucks can select any cargo from the open market to earn higher income. The next stage of the career involves establishing their own logistics company. Players can buy garages in different cities to expand their truck fleets and hire AI-controlled drivers to work for their company. At this stage, the game transforms from a simple driving simulation into a business management simulation requiring income and expense management and corporate growth strategies.
