00:00Hello and welcome to the bar. Come and discover our truck, which is still running on hydrogen

00:10this year for Mission 1000 Dakar future race. We're still learning, improving and progressing.

00:24Welcome to Catalunya, where the KH7 Ecovergy truck was designed with the intention of competing

00:29on the Dakar in a sustainable way.

00:33I'm Jordi Giovanteni, the driver of the truck you see here behind. This truck, as you know,

00:40is powered by a combination of hydrogen and HVO. We're trying to make the truck as clean

00:45as possible or less polluting as possible, and we're achieving that. This year we have

00:50improved the evolution of the engine and therefore we're going to continue with this project

00:54that's given us so much satisfaction.

01:01I'm Xaver Ribas, I'm in charge of the hydrogen systems. For us, it was really a good opportunity

01:13to test the technology in a very tough environment, like in the Dakar. So we found different opportunities

01:20to improve in terms of efficiency, especially in the injection. The truck is providing a

01:27lot of power during all the time and you need it in very fast reactions.

01:33So we store here the hydrogen tanks below the bed, Jordi's bed. It was a little tricky

01:40when we needed to do changes and now we have made it more easy for me to maintain the technology

01:47systems this year. Moreover, we have focused on increasing a bit the injection, because

01:54we will be looking for a bit more power. We are now targeting close to 1,000 horsepower,

02:01because we know the battle will be very strong with other competitors.

02:13During 2024, we have translated this technology to our road trucks and also the newest technology

02:21that we are testing for the Dakar will directly have a role and impact to the vehicles we

02:28are developing.

02:32We are developing our own fuel cell. This will allow vehicles like trucks to run fully

02:39on hydrogen and to generate the energy on board, so no need to store electricity on

02:44the board, on the vehicle.

02:51I am Jose Luis Criado, co-driver of the KH7 Ecovergy truck. This is the 34th time I've

02:58taken part in this Dakar. I think that the person who has enthusiasm learns more and

03:04more things every year. You never stop learning and this year I suppose we will learn more

03:09things and after 34, 33 editions we will learn something more. The moment we stop learning,

03:18we don't leave.
