Desert heat in the heart of Autos! Autos Dakar Day 2026 is behind us!

Unique machines, sporting thrills, and a meeting with the champions of the world's most challenging rally. This is a brief summary of Autos Dakar Day , which transformed our headquarters into a bustling rally town for a day!

On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the Autos headquarters became a mecca for motorsport and heavy-duty vehicle enthusiasts. Visitors had the unique opportunity to admire up close vehicles that rarely meet side-by-side in everyday life. The event was held with the support of our reliable partners: Kamena Rally Team , NRF , Techniq , Silverlines , Bremann and DCK .


Dakar beasts at your fingertips

The display of machines was truly breathtaking. Motoring enthusiasts could admire:

  • Tatra Jamal and Porsche 924 (NRF): True Dakar monsters that have experienced the hardships of extreme off-road rallies firsthand.
  • Polaris RZR PRO R (Kamena): Ultra-modern, lightweight rally bike designed for lightning-fast off-road driving.
  • Scania Torpedo (Autos): Our flagship, awe-inspiring vehicle that showcases power and modern utility technology.


The undisputed star of the day, however, was the DAF 3300 "The Bull." This 100% rebuilt, iconic monster features a unique dual-engine layout (powering the front and rear axles separately) and a 6x6 drivetrain. It's Jan de Rooy's legendary vehicle, combining its historic design with the advanced solutions used today by Kamen's team.


A unique exhibition area

The business area was a key part of the event. Attendees were treated to stands from Autos, offering a wide selection of spare parts, tires, and professional workshop equipment. Partner brands NRF, Silverlines, Techniq, Bremann, and DCK also presented their new products, creating the perfect environment for expert discussions and the exchange of experiences.

Meeting the Champions and the Dakar adventure

The official presentation of the twin-engine DAF and a meeting with special guests – the Kamena Rally Team, this year's winners of the prestigious 2026 Dakar Classic Rally – generated enormous excitement! We heard behind-the-scenes, chilling stories from the heart of the desert marathon.


For those hungry for thrills, we prepared competitions where the prize was a ride in a Dakar car from the passenger seat. The roar of the engines, the dust, and the powerful adrenaline rush made this an absolute dream come true for many participants.



Autos Dakar Day proved that a passion for motorsport can bring people together, build trust and strengthen partnerships.
