■ Product description ■ In the 1920 s, the period when unexplored regions, dangerous acts and unconventional travel fascinated people. The media jumped on these heroes and covered them extensively.
Wealthy sponsors supported the adventure, and its success brought a lasting reputation. Citroen's French plant ran across the desert in North Africa as a promotional test.
In a short period of time, rival Renault developed a six wheel truck with double tires and named it the 6 mh.
Renault's first test drive took place in December 1923 in a desert area from Tugur in Algeria to Eroudotosul in Tunisia.
Around that time, rival Citroen had already finished its first drive and Rene and George's Estienne brothers had already set off for a second drive with four half-track wheels. Soon after, the battle for control of the desert began.
The descriptions of the trip in the desert are well documented, but there are no bad words about the six wheel Renault. There are no accidents or other calamities that could cause problems with the truck.
All the descriptions show that Renault was faster than rival Citroen's trucks in terms of speed and ability to handle rough roads.
The success seems to be due to the double rear axle and the use of tires rather than the chain Citroen had used.
