  • New Renault Race Truck for Firemen Dakarteam
    --- PRESS RELEASE --- Hillegom, June 25th 2019 NEW RENAULT RACE TRUCK FOR FIREMEN DAKARTEAM Firemen Dakarteam during 2019 rally in Peru The Firemen Dakarteam will start the Dakar Rally in January 2020 with a (for them) new racing truck. To continue their upward trend after three rallies, it is time for the next step; an even better truck. A few weeks after the finish of the Dakar 2019, we came in contact with racing truck manufacturer MKR in the Czech Republic. Not long afterwards we visited the factory in the Czech Republic. MKR already produces (Renault) racing trucks for top international professional teams (including Riwald and the Mammoet Rally team). “A different surface means a different configuration of the truck. To make the current truck lighter, stronger, more modern and stiffer for the 2020 rally, meant so much work has to be done that we might as well start thinking about another / new(er) truck”, says Richard de Groot. Together with Mario Kress (director and owner of MKR Group Europe) we had several good conversations. “The Firemen Dakarteam is a very serious team that wants to continue to grow in the positive Dakar spirit. Not only for himself, but also for their partners, sponsors and the organizing countries ”- says Kress. In the end, the Firemen Dakarteam and MKR agreed that the Firemen Dakarteam can use the truck of Janus van Kasteren from the previous rally for the 2020 rally. “A considerable step forward for the 2020 Dakar Rally. To be honest, that is a dream I never thought would come true.
