00:00 And it's also the end of a long and demanding journey for the competitors of Dakar Future Mission 1000.
00:10 The battery and the fuel cell are doing very well in these circumstances.
00:16 These kind of tracks of today we can handle very good with our car.
00:21 So, yeah, we're enthusiastic about the new technology.
00:26 Six projects were entered in this experimental event, including the electric bike of Tachita.
00:32 It's the joy of finishing a Dakar that was very technical for us.
00:41 To have been able to ride the bike every day and take it to the finish each evening is an accomplishment for the factory.
00:46 We're delighted.
00:49 There were three different electric bikes registered and all went through the many traps that the Dakar has to offer.
00:58 There's a triple satisfaction because we had three bikes at the start and now three at the finish.
01:16 We had a slight setting problem in the first week, but the second week went well.
01:21 Generally speaking, I'm satisfied.
01:23 All good as well for the HICE team and their hydrogen-powered SSB.
01:29 We definitely need to just work on the fuel capacity of the race car,
01:38 so we could race more all day long in the stages and not have to conserve fuel.
01:46 They named themselves the Desert Tigers, a fine name for the French crew in their hybrid SSB, also powered by bioethanol.
01:54 After two weeks, we're happy to have finished. The team worked really well so that we reached the finish today.
02:04 Our truck with hydrogen and all this technology responded perfectly.
02:11 Not the slightest problem. Zero problems. We're super happy. Delighted.
02:17 In the final ranking based on points, the Spanish truck finishes first, having covered the entire distance of the event.
