Out of 18 classified trucks in total, eight were built by MM Technology, all finishing within the top 12 overall.

Podium Finishes and Strong TOP 10 Results

Mitchel van den Brink claimed a podium finish with the MMT EVO4 (3rd place), followed by the MM Technology factory team with an MMT EVO4 in 4th. Firemen Rallyteam finished 5th with an MMT EVO3, Valtr Racing Team took 6th with an MMT EVO1, Martin van den Brink secured 8th with an MMT EVO4, and Italtrans Racing Team placed 9th with an MMT EVO3.

The performance of the entire fleet clearly proves that both the latest and earlier evolutions of MM Technology trucks are reliable in demanding terrain and rank among the very best on today’s rally truck market.

Healthy Competition Brings Valuable Insights

MMT trucks claimed five stage wins and victory in the prologue, while leading the overall classification for a total of eight days — six days with Mitchel van den Brink and two days with the MM Technology factory crew. Both leading trucks were MMT EVO4, the latest evolution of MM Technology’s Dakar rally trucks.

“We’ve always said that competition is healthy. Dakar 2026 was tough, but that’s exactly why it was so important for us — both in terms of development and experience. We know where we need to improve, and these results motivate us to push our trucks even further. We’re bringing home a lot of valuable data and lessons that will go straight into future development,” concludes Martin Macik Sr., Head of MM Technology.
