Le Mans organiser wants all cars competing in the top class to be powered by hydrogen by 2030. Here's the latest on the ACO's hydrogen roadmap: WEC
Le Mans 24 Hours organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has outlined a vision for all cars competing for overall victory to be hydrogen-powered by 2030.ACO president Pierre Fillon stated an intent to progressively introduce the new fuel at the centrepiece round of the World Endurance Championship between 2026 and the start of the next decade ahead of this weekend’s Fuji 24 Hours in which Toyota is competing with a hydrogen-powered Corolla.
He also confirmed that combustion-engined cars using hydrogen will be allowed to compete along the zero-emissions fuel cell machinery for which the class was originally envisaged.“At Le Mans it's important that we allow manufacturers to test different technologies: it has been the case for 100 years and we want to continue to do that.
“The fuel cell was initially chosen for its potential, which is still relevant,” he said at Fuji on Saturday. He added that the Balance of Performance would be used to create a level playing field between the different technologies in use in the hydrogen class and Hypercar from 2026.The original intent was that manufacturers taking part would only produce the fuel cell of the car.
