Iveco brought its commitment to decarbonization to the 2023 FIA European Truck Championship, with its core concept of sustainable development and the use of low emission and alternative energy powered vehicles.

Its Iveco S-WAY LNG natural gas truck is the first truck in the FIA European Truck Championship to adopt alternative traction.

The peak charging power of eTruck is 522 kilowatts, and its range allows the vehicle to complete the entire race. The car has 4 batteries with a total energy storage of 252 kilowatt hours.
