New hydrogen electric MissionH24 concept revealed with focus on performance
MissionH24, a joint venture between the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and GreenGT, has developed a hydrogen-powered race car called the H24. The prototype, which has undergone extensive research and testing, features a revamped powertrain with two electric motors and has successfully competed in four Le Mans Cup races in 2022. The goal of MissionH24 is to create a hydrogen category for the Le Mans 24 Hours, which will take effect from 2026. The H24 car is lighter and faster than its predecessor, weighing 116kg less and reaching speeds of up to 320km/h. The mission is to demonstrate that hydrogen technology can provide an alternative to fossil fuels in motorsport, with the aim of achieving a zero-emission victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The ADESS chassis for the H24 is currently being designed and bench testing of the power unit assembly is set to begin next October. The car will be powered by a single electric motor and will have an improved hydrogen cell system with greater power output and efficiency.
