Nexter Systems put TITUS, a new armoured wheeled vehicle, on display this year. TITUS offers an exceptional mobility through its Tatra 6×6 chassis coupled with a 440Hp engine. Wrapped with an armored skin of last generation, from level 2 to level 4, TITUS is also protected against mines (4a/4b) and IEDs blasts (up to 150kg), by the original Nexter SAFEPRO design.

TITUS can be equipped with Remote Control Weapon Station from 7,62mm to 20mm, and 40mm Grenade Launchers as well, depending on the level of threats.

Two Light Machine Guns can be added on the rear top of the vehicle. TITUS is fully integrated within the C4I network through last generation vetronics.

Amsafe has also displayed its Tarian lightweight armour system in a service-ready standard on the Navistar Husky vehicle for the first time at DSEi.

The mesh cage-like armour is designed to protect vehicles from attacks from rocket-propelled grenades and was developed by Amsafe in response to a military requirement for an alternative to heavier traditional metal bar RPG protection systems.

RPG protection (PG Guard can be added). Thus, the units can be committed into the battlefield quickly and safely.

Furthermore, to allow the crew (Driver, Gunner and Tactical commander) and the embarked squad to last a long time on the terrain, an exceptional effort of habitability has been done by Nexter in the hull. Internal volume is beyond 14m3, added by 4m3 of storage, and, as the hull -without obstacle from front to back- opens towards outside by a ramp with a minimal ground step (280mm), egress and ingress are really facilitated.

TITUS can be equipped with Remote Control Weapon Station from 7,62mm to 20mm, and 40mm Grenade Launchers as well, depending on the level of threats. All of them are coupled with thermal sensors of last generation and Laser Range Finders. Two Light Machine Guns can be added on the rear top of the vehicle.

The Dakar Team Holland Marcel Schoo is ready for the 2014 edition of the Dakar . The team will for the 2nd time with the unique Tatra Phoenix be at the start of the most challenging rally in the world .

reconstruction

The Phoenix where Marcel Schoo, Michel van Herpen and Jaap de Wit in the edition of 2013 with it crashed almost immediately after the rally was completely rebuilt in the Czech Republic . The Tatra is there not only recovered from the injury , but also significantly improved. There is a new cab placed with a weighted executed roll cage , not only thicker , but also of high grade material . The same material has also been used for the new roll-over bar behind the cabin . Furthermore, the construction reinforced at the rear, there are new boxes placed in front of parts and tools, and the tape discharge system perfected. When last the entire front of the cabin redesigned , allowing for even better approach angle is formed. This is obviously beneficial in the dunes .

With all these improvements and the experience of recent rally , the team convinced the Tatra Phoenix Top -10 worthy . Yet there is only one goal that the team strives : the spreading of the rally . ” A nice place is taken but the key is really arriving in Valparaiso ,” said Marcel .

tube

The uniqueness of the Tatra remains the chassis . The trucks have been known for their special chassis layout . Tatra is the only brand that factory uses independent suspension in which the entire drivetrain in a thick central tube is housed . This not only ensures optimal protection of the drive but also a very low center of gravity . The independent suspension is equipped with air suspension . In combination with the suspended cab DAF is the handling phenomenal! Marcel: ” . This really is like a rally car driving on a slope with many bumps and stones rode a leaf -sprung Liaz rally truck 90 km / h where we just went with 120 km / h over . “

Press – car

This year the team is enhanced by a fully prepared Audi Q7 . The Audi is used as a press car. You’ll be even better this year so keep up to date with all the news from South America .

the Team

The Audi is also necessary , therefore the crew team expanded this year . Thus, we can announce that Chris Leyds joins the team . Chris is a real Dakarman with lots of experience in rallying . In recent years, Chris was particularly active in – McRae Enduro rally team . He will work with Jeffrey Schoo and Tom van Herpen to the finish driving the Audi Q7 . Jeffrey and Tom make their debut this year in Dakar . The sons of Marcel and Michel will be the website and social media are equipped with the latest news , photos and videos.

The crew of Dakar Team Holland is not only expanded also changed . Thus Pièrre Blom this year’s rally truck take the place of Jaap de Wit, who will drive the assistance truck . Besides Jaap will be staffed by the 6×6 mechanics : All Tadema and Meindert Postma .

charity

This year relies Dakar Team Holland again the charity ” Racing Against Cancer ” . The why is very simple, the cancer’s last came very close to the team and Marcel was therefore more than just something to do with it.

Organize organizing Racing Against Cancer including a few times a year circuitdag.Op this day have children with the terrible disease the ability to forget . Misery With several race cars will be driven on the TT circuit in Assen . Also, the children ride on an “off -road ” route with different Dakar / rally vehicles.

Last July Dakar Team Holland has also participated in this special track day . Children were given the opportunity to participate in the Dakar truck driving . Few laps Marcel: ” It was wonderful to see the children enjoy and to give them a big smile . “

Competing in the ‘Beaty of streamling class’, Delwyn Malett won the ‘Most Creative Design’ award at Salon Prive yesterday!

CLASS G: THE BEAUTY OF STREAMLINING

During the 1920s, as the aircraft industry really began to take flight, many forward thinking engineers and designers began to let lessons learnt in the air be an important factor in their automobile designs. It was no more than a happy coincidence that the Art Deco movement married well with the emergence of streamlining and, as a result, ateliers from each side of the Atlantic embraced the concept of combining beauty and performance to produce truly breath-taking cars. This design milestone also overlapped with the building of high speed roads and therefore new road cars, designed against the effects of drag, could for the first time reach really awe-inspiring speeds.
