Haulotte Group & Dakar:
The greatest challenges take us
to new heights
Our 2006 team with Segundo Fernandez,
Deputy Managing Director.
From 31 December 2005 to 15 January 2006,
the Haulotte Group is back on the Dakar road with a
double ambition: to hit a perfect sports score, and to
share this adventure throughout the company.
We did say that great challenges would take us to
new heights!
First the trial run, and now it’s for real.An unlucky participant in
the race in 2005 (we dropped out after a mechanical failure), the
Haulotte Group did not wait for the start of the 2006 Dakar
competition to make headlines.We are now official suppliers to
the rally!
“Thanks to this sponsorship, we will gain group-level publicity
demonstrating the will of a great team to succeed, which will
succeed at the highest levels of technology, development and
brand awareness”, explains Alexandre Saubot, Chief Operating
Officer of the Haulotte Group.
A partnership which will not stop the “yellow brand” from
feeding real sporting ambition during our second adventure at
the heart of the race, a competitive spirit expected of a brand
that is used to winning.The first time was enough to prove that
the Haulotte Group needed to participate once again in the
Dakar rally.
“Our company identifies completely with the values of this
challenge.This is about exertion, determination, competitiveness,
worth, adaptability to one’s environment and especially about
victory. For us, participating in this event is not only about name
brand recognition, it is also a reflection of our corporate
philosophy”, sums up Segundo Fernandez, Deputy Managing
Director of the Haulotte Group.
