Natural Fibre Composite Bodywork for Team Tras Power 135 TRD Hilux
)
Team Tras Power 135 TRD Hilux competes this week in the 2025 Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) in Thailand. This is the fourth challenge for the team, with this year’s drivers being Masanao Nitta and Takayuki Monma.
The natural fibre bodywork of the rally car holds up incredibly well and manages to withstand the challenging and rough conditions during the tough racing where human and machine are pushed to the limits. This year, the team has decided to renew its vehicle by having a natural-coloured visible designed flax-based bodywork.
Before the rally, driver & Tras CEO Masanao Nitta commented: “This year, a new natural coloured natural fibre Bcomp body will be implemented into the bodywork of the vehicle. Based on the positive experience of the last years, we have confidence in the natural fibres and have applied new finishes of the bodywork. The AXCR 2025 will again be a long-distance rally with extreme road conditions, so car maintenance and care by the TRD crew will be key. The team will work together to reach this goal with Tras Power 135 TRD Hilux.”
