[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]UFI is proud to announce the partnership with John Newell<\/strong>, British driver of the NWT Motorsport<\/strong> team, for the second consecutive year in the prestigious Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Newell’s achievements in Truck Racing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After an exciting 2024 season, which saw Newell stand out for his excellent performances, UFI chooses to stand by a driver who embodies passion, determination, and technical competence. Newell is not only a driver in the European championship but also a successful entrepreneur in the family business Newell and Wright Transport <\/strong>and commercial director<\/strong> of RTN Clayton Vallely Road Tankers<\/strong>, a company operating in the intermodal transport sector in the UK.<\/p>\n

His career in truck racing has deep roots, with over 50 podiums won<\/strong>. After significant experience in the British Truck Racing Championship<\/strong>, where he achieved third place overall in 2019, Newell debuted in ETRC in 2022 and today is a consolidated presence. In 2024<\/strong>, the driver achieved significant results, placing 4th in the final ranking of the Chrome Drivers Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ETRC and the renewed partnership with UFI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The European Truck Racing Championship<\/strong> is the largest continental competition dedicated to truck racing, organized by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA)<\/strong>. Each year it generates high media resonance and attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators on-site, blending the spectacle of racing with the promotion of values such as innovation, sustainability, and safety in heavy transport. The vehicles in the race are giants exceeding 5 tons in weight, with engines of over 1,000 horsepower. Nevertheless, environmental responsibility remains a priority: ETRC is indeed the first motorsport event that successfully transitioned to 100% sustainable fuel in 2021<\/strong>, thus reducing carbon emissions on track by up to 92% over the last 3 years, earning the 3 stars of the FIA Environmental Accreditation in 2024. The championship is also part of the FIA’s working group on hydrogen as a future energy source.<\/p>\n

The truck with which Newell will compete will be number 18<\/strong>: a MAN Chassis<\/strong> nicknamed “Lagertha<\/strong>,” built from scratch with the help of Stefan Honens Racing Services and MAN, equipped with an 1100 horsepower engine and a maximum torque of 5500 Nm. A true racing vehicle, ready to impress the audience on every European circuit.<\/p>\n

UFI, a leader in filtration and thermal management, as well as green hydrogen technologies, will take to the track alongside Newell and the entire NWT Motorsport team for the second year in a row, thus reaffirming the already established partnership that characterised 2024 and renewing its commitment to supporting a team that, like UFI, stands out for values such as innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, passion, and dedication.<\/p>\n

Karl Ridings, Sales Director and General Manager Aftermarket of UFI UK & Ireland<\/strong>, states, “We are thrilled to continue this collaboration alongside John and his team, with whom we share a deep passion for excellence<\/strong> and a common commitment to achieving high performance, advanced technological innovation, and maximum reliability.”<\/p>\n
