Germany’s famous Nürburgring will echo to the sounds of trucks racing efficiently on 10 July 2025, as Krone Trailers hosts the Truck Efficiency Run, a new feature of the Truck Grand Prix 2025.
The Efficiency Run, held in conjunction with the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC), is an open competition for truck drivers in which the most efficient and professional driving style, not speed or horsepower, is the deciding factor.
“The competition makes efficiency tangible – beyond technical specifications,” said Krone Trailer’s Head of Marketing, Simon Richenhagen.
“We want to show how big an influence the driver has – and how real savings potential can be achieved through conscious, anticipatory driving.”
In the Efficiency Run, drivers from Germany will compete against each other operating different tractor units, trailers and drive types, as they seek to achieve the lowest fuel consumption under real-life conditions.
The aim of the event is not only to raise awareness of fuel-efficient driving, but to emphasise the driver as the most important criterion.
Participants will need to bring their own vehicle combination, a valid class CE driving licence and a willingness to showcase their driving mettle.
The Efficiency Run will culminate in an awards ceremony celebrating the most efficient drivers.
The Truck Efficiency Run is part of Krone’s extensive involvement in the Truck Grand Prix, where it is represented as a partner and exhibitor.
