Nine countries, 11 borders, 10,000 km - this is the impressive balance of the recent expedition 'Jelczem w Himalaje' ('From Jelcz to the Himalayas'), organized by the Polish Pietrowicz Foundation Śladami Uczestników. From Poland to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India, four Polish adventurers traveled in a Jelcz truck all the way to the Himalayas - on the footsteps of the first Polish expedition to the Himalayas 50 years ago. To make the expedition as authentic as possible, the team used the same model of Jelcz truck as the original expedition team in the 1970s.
Kilometers after kilometers, border after border, we are honored to accompany the team on their mission with the use of our DKV Mobility products and services such as our DKV CARD climate, our toll solution DKV BOX EUROPE and the digital assistant DKV LIVE.
The purpose of the project was to commemorate the Golden Age of the Polish Himalayas in the 70s and 80s. At that time, the Polish community was the first in the world to conquer the peaks of the Himalayas and Karakoram in winter. The Jelcz truck played an important role in the successes of Polish climbers during that time, as they not only traveled to the highest mountains in the world, but also successfully overcame the terrain and weather to transport equipment and food.
Maciej Pietrowicz, Ryszard Włoszczowski and Arkadiusz Peryga we are already excited to travel with you on your next adventure!
