The Problem

Why series hybrid for the desert?

Desert racing means hundreds of miles of brutal terrain, extreme heat and no chargers. Pure battery-electric trucks run out of range. Combustion-only trucks give up the instant torque and control of electric drive.

A series hybrid gives you both. Electric motors drive the wheels, and an onboard generator keeps the battery topped up. That's the architecture behind Audi's RS Q e-tron, which won the Dakar Rally in 2024.

DXR Dynamics is building the same idea into a compact Arrowline range extender, and proving it in the toughest races in North America.
