A valuable ally, assisting remotely, yet always close at hand: at our headquarters in Turin, the Control Room team constantly monitored the performance of the engine, making use of an advanced, custom-made remote monitoring tool. A cutting-edge system, custom-developed especially to comply with the strict rules of the Dakar and the team’s specific requirements. Day after day, stage after stage, the FPT Customer Service team supplied detailed reports and timely alerts in the event of faults, allowing the rally team to optimize their strategies and actions.

But peak performance isn’t just about monitoring — it’s also about reliability. That’s why Team de Rooy relied on FPT Industrial high-quality spare parts and the excellence of the engine oil developed in collaboration with Petronas Lubricants International, ensuring durability and efficiency in the toughest conditions. Total support, that began months beforehand to allow for optimization, which led De Rooy right onto the Dakar podium.
