MTZ tractor manufacturer becomes partner of Belarusian team at Dakar 2021

MINSK, 24 December (BelTA) - The Belarusian tractor manufacturer MTZ has become a partner of MAZ-SPORTauto Team which will represent Belarus at Dakar 2021, BelTA learned from the MTZ press service.

"This year we have decided to become a partner of MAZ-SPORTauto. First, we believe that heavy industry companies need to stick together, work for the overall result. Secondly, we are happy to support all kinds of sports activities," said MTZ Director General Vitaly Vovk.

He recalled that BELARUS tractors have been taking part in the Tractor Biathlon in Russia's Udmurtia for several years. "If the epidemiological situation permits, we will participate in the event next year too. MTZ understands very well what the true competitive spirit is and how support is important for achieving a high result,” the director general said.

According to Vitaly Vovk, image is no less important. “The logo on the trucks that will be competing in Saudi Arabia will help our company become more recognizable abroad,” the director general said. He wished MAZ-SPORTauto Team strong health, good luck and at least a Top Three finish in the forthcoming competitions.

MAZ-SPORTauto Team will travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 27 December. The team will feature two bonneted trucks that will be piloted by Siarhei Vyazovich and Aliaksei Vishneuski, with co-pilots Pavel Haranin and Maksim Novikau, Anton Zaparoshchanka and Siarhei Sachuk.
