Extreme H is introducing a new opportunity for manufacturers to incorporate their own hydrogen fuel cells into the upcoming Pioneer 25 series car. This marks a departure from the strictly single-make series approach of Extreme H and its predecessor Extreme E, aiming to showcase existing off-the-shelf fuel cells. The move is designed to control costs and prevent technology arms races while promoting and demonstrating manufacturers’ technology through the races. The decision to only allow components already in production helps in cost containment and maintaining competitiveness in racing. Several major manufacturers, including Honda, BMW, Toyota, and Hyundai, have shown interest in joining this new hydrogen fuel cell competition, signaling a positive momentum for the series.
