Crossing the Sahara Desert in a Prius PHV

Team ACP was formed in 1979 by a group of Japanese driving enthusiasts who wanted to prepare themselves for the Dakar Rally. They got hooked after their foray and participated in subsequent rallies, driving from Paris to Dakar annually for the next 12 years. From their experiences driving through the desert, the team members developed an appreciation of different cultures, as well as increased concern for the environmental issues that the world faces.
