Kristiansand is a city in Norway, it is featured in the Scandinavia map expansion DLC in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Summary

Kristiansand is the southernmost city of Norway. Just like other Scandinavian cities featured in the game, the footprint of Kristiansand is extremely large, effectively covering neighboring districts and settlements.

Features

Depots

The main part of the city is to the east, starting with the seaport and the adjacent Polaris Lines goodsyard. BHV, GNT, and NS Chemicals also have depots in the city limits. Further west on the road towards Stavanger, accesses to an MS Stein mine and a Björk mill can be found. Even further west, near the town of Vigeland, an Agronord farm can be found. In total there are 7 companies having depots in Kristiansand.

Facilities

Just like other typical Euro Truck Simulator 2 cities, Kristiansand houses some basic facilities for truckers, including a garage, two hotels (one in the city and the other due west on the E39) and a service shop. On the main road bypassing the city there's also a gas station.

Connections

Two Euroroutes serve Kristiansand:

  • The E18 starts from Kristiansand, goes east, and passes through Oslo, the Norwegian capital. It then crosses the border into Sweden, and eventually reaches the northern entrance of Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
  • The E39 goes west from Kristiansand towards Stavanger. In real-life the E39 also serves Bergen, the most northwestern Norwegian city featured in ETS2, but the road beyond Stavanger is inaccessible to truckers.

Polaris Lines provides a ferry service between Kristiansand and the Danish port of Hirtshals. In fact, the ferry is part of the E39 Euroroute as well, and the route continues for some distance south of Hirtshals.

Both the E18 and the E39 have toll booths outside Kristiansand, and the ferry service also charges a fee. That means truckers have to pay their way into or out of Kristiansand.
