Post by STIHL East Africa Ltd

For 100 years, STIHL has stood alongside people who work in and with nature — supporting those who take on demanding environments with skill, resilience, and purpose. In STIHL’s centenary year, STIHL East Africa is proud to take that spirit into Rhino Charge 2026 with Car 41 and the STIHL Warriors team. Rhino Charge brings together courage, engineering, teamwork, and conservation in support of Kenya’s vital water towers and forest ecosystems. For STIHL East Africa, entering this year is a meaningful milestone — a celebration of 100 years of performance, purpose, and working in and with nature. Car 41 was built in Kenya, shaped through months of planning, fabrication, testing, and refinement. Behind it is a team that has been hands-on from the beginning — putting in the hours, testing the vehicle, learning the terrain, solving problems, and building the trust needed to take on the charge together. The STIHL Warriors are: * Francois Marais – Driver * Tony Van Aswegen – Navigator * Jeremy Holley – Runner * Donovan Hackart – Runner * Dewan Du Plooy – Runner * Patrick Sabala – Runner Together, they represent the same qualities that have defined STIHL for a century: reliability under pressure, precision in performance, teamwork in tough environments, and the determination to keep going when the terrain demands more. Built for tough terrain. Driven by purpose. Ready for the charge. Join us in wishing Car 41 and the STIHL Warriors the very best ahead of Rhino Charge 2026. #RhinoCharge2026 #SafariYaSTIHL  #STIHLWARRIORS Francois Marais Pauline Ngigi Lucia Ayanda Eng .Daniel Mandellah George Naivasha Patrick Sabala Elikana .M.
