Extreme H: Pioneering Sustainability in Off-Road Racing with Hydrogen Power
Key Ideas
  • Extreme H is set to revolutionize motorsport by being the world’s first-ever hydrogen-powered off-road racing series, promoting sustainability and innovation.
  • It aims to improve hydrogen technology for both racing and everyday use, offering fast refuelling times and better energy efficiency over long distances.
  • The series, a brainchild of FIA, will feature full championship events, following an off-road sprint format in extreme conditions, attracting interest from major automotive manufacturers and former F1 legends.
In 2025, Extreme H, the world's first hydrogen-powered off-road racing series, will kick off, aiming to revolutionize motorsport by combining high-speed action with sustainability. This initiative, spearheaded by FIA, intends to push the boundaries of motorsport technology by utilizing hydrogen fuel cells instead of traditional combustion engines or electric batteries. The series is set to start with its inaugural event in Saudi Arabia and is expected to gain FIA World Championship recognition by 2026. Extreme H evolved from Extreme E, known for promoting climate change awareness and gender equality in motorsport. The transition to hydrogen in 2022 marked a significant sustainability strategy shift led by Alejandro Agag. The series, unlike Formula 1, focuses on off-road sprint racing, testing vehicles in extreme conditions. Notable automotive manufacturers and former F1 legends have shown interest in participating, ensuring strong competition in the upcoming championship events.
