Test tow of the 8MJI Hispania IV on the occasion of the Lorient - Port Louis convoy, during the Centenary of the 1924 Olympic Games.
Towing is not ideal with rear-wheel drive, and neither is tugging. Nevertheless, the RIM14 proves its extreme efficiency, with an average fuel consumption of less than 8kW!
Port services now have their own solution for the transition to sustainable energy!
