Trucks arrive at Salta after a 156km SS.
January 10, Dakar Rally 2014 contestants raced on the final stage of the first half of the race between San Miguel de Tucumán and Salta, Argentina. Car 2, the HINO500 Series truck entered by HINO TEAM SUGAWARA, finished the SS at 26th position overall, and Car 1 finished 7 minutes and 12 seconds behind Car 2 at 40th place. As a result, Car 2's ranking in the overall Trucks category remains unchanged at 13th, with Car 1 ranking at 27th place. They continue to maintain their 1-2 position in the Under 10-litre Class at the end of the first half of this rally.

The SS for the day took contestants on a 156km course through the Andes Mountains. The SS for the Cars category consisted of two sections with a neutral zone in the middle. The Trucks category raced only on the first section of this SS, after which they took a liaison route to the bivouac in Salta. The course primarily featured mountain roads with hard gravel surfaces, posing relatively little challenge to the racers.
