All-electric Extreme E morphs into Extreme H next season
Motorsport enters uncharted territory with the transformation of Extreme E into Extreme H, the world’s first motorsport series using only hydrogen fuel cell cars, aiming to prove that it’s a clean and viable alternative to battery electric or using hydrogen in combustion engines.
Testing of Pioneer 25 began last December and has mostly taken place at venues in France favoured by Rally-Raid and World Rally Championship teams. It will continue at the Extreme E events in Scotland and Sardinia this summer. ‘When we started this project two years ago, EVs were riding high, and I am the biggest advocate of EVs. But today there’s a moment of self-doubt on the EV wave, although the general trajectory is very strong. Today, so many more manufacturers are rethinking their hydrogen option. We are a platform for the technology.’
‘There’s a lot of myths and rubbish spoken about hydrogen. Actually hydrogen is incredibly safe. We want to be able to demonstrate on all these demanding surfaces, big compressions, jumps, you can do all of that, race wheel-to-wheel, bang into each other, and it’s just another form of energy.
