Hydrogen prototypes on track before the race

Created in 2018, MissionH24 helps promote hydrogen in competition, with the aim of creating an H2 category for 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the World ChampionshipEndurance of the FIA. This demonstration run of hydrogen prototypes demonstrates the commitment of manufacturers ready to join this new category, the future of endurance after the formidable era of the current hypercar. A category specially reserved for H2 vehicles is hoped for the year 2027.

Between 12 p.m. and 13 p.m., on the main 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, several hydrogen competition prototypes, using fuel cells and hydrogen combustion engines, will evolve at a sustained pace. The zero-emission competition will thus be presented to hundreds of thousands of spectators and television viewers. The centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans race has been an incredible technological laboratory since its creation in 1923. Today, it is working on the energy transition essential to the defense of the planet and is working for zero-emission mobility.

The participants in this zero CO2 emission driving will be officially revealed in the coming weeks. Could we already see the Toyota GR H2, presented last year on the sidelines of the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

Now, see you on June 15, 2024, shortly after 12 p.m., for this unique experience for future competition and mobility. This will be one of the first major highlights of this Le Mans weekend.
