Martigues

After the first test gallop with my new truck-2 on the tracks of the Spanish Pyrenees, some improvements proved to be useful as well on the cell by Psi-Azalaï as on the unit Mercedes G. On September 24th I deposited my vehicle at Psi-Azalaï in Martigues which benefitted from it to again present it to DREAL in the past DRIRE in order to make it approve in 3,5 tons. During this time I visited Marseilles on September 25 & 26th with a gleaming autumnal sun. Then on October 6th I would deposit it at ORC close to Stuttgart, Germany for the modifications of Mercedes G and, finally on October 13th at Nouvel' Air in Dieppe, France for the installation of occlusions on bays. Thus to avoid truck-2 will be ready to face the Moroccan tracks for three months starting from October 27th, to look at the presentation.
