Hino Dakar Truck Tough, Use Toyota Land Cruiser 2022 Engine
You may be familiar with Hino as a commercial truck maker, but the company has a rig for the 2022 Dakar Rally that you need to take a look at.
If toughness is not enough, then we need to look at the performance of this Hino Dakar truck which is powered by 1,065 horsepower from a hybrid diesel engine .
Based on the Hino 600 series truck , this race truck features an 8,866 cc six-cylinder turbodiesel engine that produces 789 horsepower and 2,295 Nm of torque.
The hybrid system that it uses contributes 276 horsepower and the 800 liter fuel tank that this big truck has can keep it going through the desert.
This power is channeled through a six-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive in full time.
There is a central differential lock and a transfer case which makes it possible to switch between high and low gears.
Hino said the truck has a lightweight rear body because it uses aluminum and fiberglass. However, this truck still weighs 8,600 kilograms.
Hino last fought valiantly at the 2020 Dakar Rally and finished last out of 10 vehicles in its class.
The competitors are all European trucks from various brands such as Kamaz, MAZ, Iveco, and Tatra which incidentally are more experienced in the Dakar Rally.
Perhaps, the truck's new hybrid engine will give Hino a better race at the 2022 Dakar Rally.
At least in terms of competing engines, this year's Dakar Rally will be quite an interesting event.
For example, Toyota has a rugged Hilux pickup that houses the 3,500cc twin-turbo V6 engine from the latest Toyota Land Cruiser.
Thus, the engine output of this modified truck is significantly higher than the production version of 409 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.
The conditions that exist on the Hino Dakar are the same as the Audi RS Q E-Tron which has front and rear electric motors.
Adapted from the 2021 Formula E E-Tron FE07. While the internal combustion engine it carries has a capacity of 2,000 cc turbocharged four-cylinder.
The 2022 Dakar Rally takes place from January 2 to January 14. This year’s event is held entirely in Saudi Arabia.
