TARGET: DAKAR 2022
We participate in the Dakar 2022 with the aim of showing that it is possible to compete at the highest level and with a minimum environmental impact, without a huge waste of resources.


EL COCHE: 01 CONCEPT
The best possible solution to compete in the Dakar at the top level and in a sustainable wayThis 2WD buggy of the T1.3 category is fuelled by e-fuel and is the lightest vehicle in its category, with only 1,621 kilos, thanks to the use of lightweight materials and to a simple mechanical concept. All that means it is the one that needs less energy to run. e-fuel is the energy storage system with the highest energy density of all those used in the Dakar Rally: 10,752 kWh per liter. It is the way to carry energy that occupies less size and weight.
COMBUSTIBLE: E-FUEL
E-fuel is a synthetic, ecological and sustainable fuel thanks to its low emissions.It solves the great challenges of the energy transition in terms of storage and transport of renewable energies.
