For the first time in the Dakar Rally's 39-year history, an electric-powered vehicle has completed the multi-stage race across South America.

The Acciona 100% EcoPowered completed the 5,600-mile rally event at the third attempt after trying to finish the race in the previous two events.

Spanish energy company Acciona, which is mainly researches renewable sources of energy and infrastructure, funded the project to show "the capacity of clean energies as a competitive alternative to fossil fuels."
