May 25, 2023. True to its sustainability core value, Iveco brings its commitment to decarbonization to the FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) 2023 with its low emission and alternative propulsion vehicles.
Iveco is participating in the 2023 season as Technical Sponsor of the “Die Bullen von Iveco”, the partnership between Team Schwabentruck and Team Hahn Racing. The team is competing with the Iveco S-Way-R race trucks, which have been further upgraded to deliver an outstanding performance.
Six-time European champion Jochen Hahn is heading Team Hahn Racing, which also includes his son Lukas Hahn. He competes to regain his title as Champion, which he won for two years in a row in 2018 and 2019. German driver Steffi Halm is leading the Schwabentruck Team for the fifth season.
The teams’ Iveco S-Way-R trucks will run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in all the Championship’s races, delivering their trademark high levels of performance whilst reducing emissions.
As Official Partner of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship for the 2023 season, Iveco is also supporting the European Truck Racing Association (ETRA) for the third year in a row on its path to net zero target by 2038 with its Iveco S-Way LNG, the first ever Pace Truck with alternative traction in the FIA-ETRC.
The IVECO S-Way LNG Pace Truck is powered by Bio-LNG stored in two 540-litre tanks that hold at least 390kg of Bio-LNG, providing autonomy of up to 1,600 kilometres without refueling. It generates considerably lower nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions compared to its diesel equivalents, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 95% when biomethane is used.
