  • Iveco Vehicles and FPT Engines on Their Way to South America for the 2014 Dakar Rally
    Iveco vehicles and FPT engines on their way to South America for the 2014 Dakar rally Watford, December 13, 2013 Iveco and FPT Industrial will take part in the 2014 Dakar rally, the sixth to take place on the South American continent. The ship carrying the Iveco vehicles belonging to the Iveco De Rooy Petronas team has departed from the port of Le Havre, France. Entitled "the Odyssey", this rally will be one of the longest and most challenging in recent years, crossing through three countries: Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. It will begin on 5 January 2014 from Rosario in Argentina and end on 18 January in Valparaiso, Chile. As in the previous events, Iveco and FPT Industrial are once again official sponsors of the Iveco De Rooy Petronas team from the Netherlands, providing vehicles and engines to the team. Dakar 2014 marks the fourth year Iveco and FPT Industrial have partnered with Team De Rooy, first making their début together at the 2011 Morocco Rally. The team is composed of: Gerard de Rooy, Dutch driver, team leader and winner of the 2012 Dakar, once again on board the Iveco PowerStar; Dutch driver Hans Stacey with an Iveco Trakker Evolution 3; Spanish driver Pep Vila and French driver Jo Adua, who has already taken part in the Dakar eight times, with a Trakker Evolution 2. The Iveco Trakker is a quarry-site vehicle from the on/off-road heavy range, able to operate on rough terrain, just like the ones that the Dakar drivers will have to tackle in South America.
