MAZ-Sport Auto Team to drive the Dakar Rally with NORMA Group products

Maintal, Germany, 15 July 2016 – NORMA Group, a global market leader in engineered joining technology, is supplying V-Profile clamps for the vehicles of the MAZ-Sport Auto Team. The Belarusian Racing Team uses the V-Profile clamps made of stainless steel in the exhaust systems of its race trucks that took part in the 2016 Dakar Rally in Argentina in the Trucks category.

“In the Dakar Rally, both the drivers and the vehicles face the harshest conditions. The vehicles must therefore be equipped with only the best components,” says Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group. "Our high-performance joining products are not only completely reliable, but can also be removed very quickly and installed again easily to perform maintenance. This is a decisive advantage.”

The MAZ-Sport Auto Team’s two race trucks are based on the Belarusian commercial vehicle manufacturer’s series truck model MAZ-5309. The trucks were equipped with output of about 800 hp for the 2016 Dakar Rally, an improved brake system, a central tire inflation control system and all-wheel drive. The Belarusian team took part in the Dakar Rally already for the fifth time.

The V-Profile clamp is designed for space-saving installation in exhaust and cooling systems as well as turbochargers, for example. The V-Profile clamp has an integrated retaining clip which allows to prefix the clamp during assembly. This significantly shortens the installation time. The light weight design of the clamp also reduces the total weight of the systems.
