He needs to recharge the vehicle's batteries. Instead of electricity, he finds the forgotten High-Pressure Lamp HK500 in a brightly lit desert village in Niger. This is the second birth of Petromax: Jonas Taureck retrieves the brand rights and production back to Germany to renew the traditional brand.Proven expedition vehicleThe Magirus-Deutz truck was a popular expedition vehicle. It was robust, agile, and spacious enough to carry supplies for a multi-week tour. Jonas Taureck's vehicle still had an air-cooled Deutz four-stroke diesel engine for a tour across the African continent, much better suited than the modern water-cooled, much more heat-sensitive diesel engines.Attention to detailCollectors' hearts beat faster for this detailed model.
