Revolutionizing Off-Road Racing with Hydrogen-Powered Cars
Key Ideas
  • The FIA Extreme H World Cup is set to showcase the capabilities of hydrogen fuel cell technology in off-road racing.
  • Pioneer 25 cars will be powered by a 75kW hydrogen fuel cell system, demonstrating sustainability and performance.
  • The cars feature a unique setup with a 36kWh battery acting as a buffer for the fuel cell, achieving a total output of 536bhp.
  • Manufactured by Spark Racing Technology, the Pioneer 25 cars have passed rigorous crash tests and include safety features around the hydrogen tanks.
The FIA Extreme H World Cup is introducing a new off-road motorsport championship that aims to highlight the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology. The Pioneer 25 cars participating in the championship will be powered by a cutting-edge 75kW hydrogen fuel cell system, showcasing both sustainability and performance. These vehicles, based on Extreme E electric off-road racers, feature a unique design with a 36kWh battery acting as a buffer for the fuel cell, resulting in a total power output of 536bhp. The cars, manufactured by Spark Racing Technology, have undergone stringent crash tests to ensure safety, with reinforced chassis and specialized crash structures around the hydrogen tanks. The championship will not only focus on the cars but also on sustainability, as on-site activities will be powered by stationary fuel cells. This initiative represents a significant step towards demonstrating the viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the automotive industry.
