For the very first time, the Goodyear FIA European Truck Championship (ETRC) will have an electric pace truck. The 2025 season of the ETRC is about to start in Misano (Italy), with the first four races scheduled on May 17 and 18. The pace truck is the vehicle needed to support the race truck before the rolling start.

This year, the ePace Truck will be the IVECO S-eWay, that is to say the electric version of an IVECO road tractor. The electric vehicle will join the IVECO S-Way LNG truck, which has served as pace truck for the past two seasons, as part of a dual-energy approach on the grid.

The fully electric IVECO S-eWay Pace Truck marks another important step in our commitment to sustainable truck racing,” said Georg Fuchs, Managing Director of ETRA. “Together with IVECO, we are not only writing a new chapter in the sport’s history but also sending a strong signal to the wider industry: change is happening, and it’s happening now.”

IVECO S-eWay: the features of the new IVECO electric pace truck

With a range of up to 500 km and fast-charging capability of up to 350 kW, the IVECO S-eWay is built to perform under pressure. Featuring a bold design, twin-motor electric axle, and striking grid-ready lighting system, the fully electric pace truck is a statement of intent for the future of truck racing.

With the new IVECO S-eWay as the official pace truck of the ETRC 2025, we are sending out a clear and forward-looking message: the journey toward sustainable mobility in heavy-duty transport is well underway on our roads, and it is gradually beginning to make its mark in the world of motorsport,” commented Carlotta Mathis, Head of Strategy and Marketing at IVECO.
