Since the mid-80s, Chinese customers have ordered a large number of special vehicles that are used in the search for raw materials. Thousands of trucks from well-known manufacturers were exported to China in the following years.
This book follows in the footsteps of the vehicles into the second largest sand desert in the world, the Taklamakan in western China. Large oil deposits lie under a sea of sand dunes. For the exploration and extraction of the raw materials, the best manufacturers in the world were commissioned to provide their constructions to conquer the desert. Companies such as Daimler-Benz, MAN, MOL, Kenworth, Astra, Foremost, Oshkosh, Isuzu, Titan and others responded to the call. In this way, the Chinese oil companies gained valuable experience, which today makes them the market leaders in the exploration of desert areas all over the world. We also follow these traces as far as the Sahara and the Gulf States.
