Each team that competes in the Dakar usually has its own sweeper truck, to which is added that of the organization itself for those who run the test alone. In the case of the Peugeot team, that of Carlos Sainz(whom we once again congratulate from sparepartsdelcamion.com), the sweeper truck works the same as the assistance cars in the Tour from France and transports spare partsand the spare partswhich on many occasions represent hope, but which in many cases are also confirmation that the race has been lost. The Frenchman Stéphane Peterhansel, the most awarded driver in the history of the Dakar with 13 titles, has explained about the assistance truck: "When you know you need their help, you also know that (the vehicle) is dead!",
The sweeper trucks circulate with about 500 kilos of spare parts, accessoriesand essential spare parts because "everything is susceptible to breaking from the triangles to the gearboxes or the suspensions", as assured by the driver of the Peugeot assistance truck, Serge Lacourt. The teams' sweeper trucks join the race two hours after the start of each stage and in some way form part of the race itself because they can be penalized.
The sweeper trucks assistance have special signage, an element that is also vital in professional and commercial road transport vehicles. It is also necessary to keep them up to date and that is why recambiosdelcamion.com has a wide catalog of references in this chapter or category with offers, discounts and very good prices in license plates and < b>supports, elementsof truck signaling such as plates (of ADRor hazardous materials) and reflective tape -white, amber or red- and also in tachographs.
