After a satisfying partnership in 2024, dynaCERT will be back in the the Arabian Desert for the most prestigious and challenging off road race in the world. Last year a DAKAR race truck was equipped for the first time with an HydraGEN™ HG1 unit.
HydraGEN™ Technology uses electrolysis to turn distilled water into Hydogen & Oxygen gases that are produced on demand and incorporated into the engine thru the air intake. dynaCERT’s proprietary HydraGEN™ Technology is designed to reduce emissions of Greenhouse Gases, NOx, CO2, THC and particulate matter.
The 2025 DAKAR edition (the 6th in Saudi Arabia) will stretch for almost 8,000 kilometres, including more than 5,000 in timed specials, from Bisha to Shubaytah, from January 3rd to january 17th.
dynaCERT is supporting the French team NRS (Normandy Racing Solutions) in the 2025 DAKAR and DAKAR Classic.
NRS is fielding a DAF Prototype truck in the DAKAR race ( #623 ), whose role is to be a “Fast Assistance truck” for Team Overdrive Toyota Hilux competitors. The PACCAR 13 liter biturbo engine delivers 950 horsepower. The allFrench crew is composed by drivers Alexandre Lemeray and Fabien Lecaplain supported by female athlete Marion Andrieu who will be in charge of the navigation.
NRS is also entering under the HoleShot Competition name a MAN Racing Truck in the DAKAR Classic ( #915 ). The Man 8 liter engine delivers 500 horsepower. It’s the same truck that successfully completed the 2024 Dakar Classic on the Truck H1 Podium. The truck will again be equiped with the (same) HydraGEN™ HG1 unit that was installed for the 2024 race. The drivers lineup is new compared to last year : Frenchmen Huber Lelièvre, Franck Geenens et David Lhermelin.
The team’s support DAF truck for both Race Trucks is also equiped with a HydraGEN™ HG1 unit.
For dynaCERT, the main purpose of being involved in the Dakar Rally racing trucks categories is a way to test and to demonstrate the reliability and performance of HydraGEN™ on demand hydrogen production units in an environment facing very hot weather, hard impacts, permanent vibrations, all in a very demanding operational mode.
The technical learnings and improvements will lead to innovations and benefit the next HydraGEN™ units generation.
