Missions Berliet-Ténéré
The Missions Berliet Ténéré were two expeditions across the Sahara, organised by the French truck-maker Berliet. The expeditions demonstrated the ability of Berliet trucks to cross very long stretches of desert and wilderness, but they also supported geographical and scientific research.
==Expeditions==
The first expedition set out in November 1959, heading south into the Sahara from Djanet, past the Arbre du Ténéré and Termit to Lake Chad and Fort Lamy. The return route went through Bilma and Djado, returning to Djanet in January 1960; crossing the Erg of Bilma was a particular challenge. It had covered 10000 km in 50 days.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission Ténéré (Les Berliet) )〕 The following winter, a second expedition took a more easterly route through the Tibesti, starting in October 1960; the route avoided the difficult sands of Bilma and was more practical for conventional vehicles. It reached Fort lamy in November 1960 and returned to Djanet in December.
As well as drivers and mechanics, the expeditions included scientists researching local biology, geology, archaeology, and ethnography. They discovered evidence of early human settlement around 3200 BCE, in areas that are now desert; these included tools and pottery. The expeditions also left balises - marker posts - in the desert, which are still visible today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MAIS QUE SONT CES BALISES BERLIET ? )〕
