The 100% EcoPowered is the only one of over 18,000 vehicles ever to have taken part in the Dakar Rally not to have emitted a single particle of CO2. After 12 stages of an extremely complicated race due to bad weather conditions, the electric vehicle driven by Ariel Jatón ad Tito Rolón crossed the finishing line to complete a rally that will go down in history.
