Unveiling the Next Generation Hydrogen-Powered Racing Car: The H24EVO Prototype
Key Ideas
- The H24EVO hydrogen fuel cell car boasts 650kW power output and 50% higher power density compared to its predecessors.
- MissionH24 project aims to promote hydrogen as an alternative fuel in motorsport and establish a framework for sportscar racing.
- The chassis of the H24EVO was designed from scratch, housing 7.8kg of hydrogen in gas form in monocoque for enhanced safety measures.
- The car is set to run on track for demonstrations during Le Mans, aiming to achieve performance comparable to the fastest GT3 cars.
The MissionH24 group unveiled the H24EVO, a revolutionary hydrogen fuel cell racing car with 650kW power output and a 50% increase in power density compared to its predecessors. The project aims to showcase hydrogen as a viable fuel option in motorsport and create a foundation for its integration into sportscar racing. The H24EVO is built on a new chassis design and features two fuel tanks holding 7.8kg of hydrogen in gas form, meeting FIA safety requirements. The car is scheduled to make its on-track debut at Le Mans, with ambitions to match the performance of top GT3 cars. MissionH24 envisions the EVO to be the first FIA-homologated hydrogen racing car, potentially opening doors to various racing series in the future.
