Here is H24EVO, the ultimate hydrogen prototype

Inheriting from the pioneers of zero-emission hydrogen motorsport competition, the new Weapon of Mission H24 has been named H24EVO.

Unveiled on October 11, the all-new MissionH24 prototype, a program in collaboration between the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and H24Project to promote hydrogen in racing, particularly at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will bear the name H24EVO. This choice resulted from suggestions made by the MissionH24 community on its social networks, then submitted to a jury composed of Pierre Fillon, president of the ACO, and Jean-Michel Bouresche, president of H24Project, both co-presidents of MissionH24, Richard Mille, a MissionH24 partner, and two drivers, Norman Nato and Stéphane Richelmi.

Following the LMPH2G (Le Mans Prototype Gaseous Hydrogen) and the H24 (H2 and 24 Hours), H24EVO takes over in decarbonizing motorsport, especially endurance racing. This electric-hydrogen prototype will demonstrate, starting in 2025 with its first track runs, the potential of hydrogen both in terms of performance and as a solution for the energy transition necessary to protect the environment.

MissionH24 aims to create a category of hydrogen prototypes for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A working group consisting of about ten international manufacturers has been collaborating for several years towards this goal. And H24EVO represents a valuable and pioneering technological laboratory.

The H24EVO is destined to compete in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, after a homologation process with the FIA. Before this major milestone, the H24EVO will be displayed in static form during the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans, from June 12 to 16, 2024. Its aggressive design, different technical characteristics from its predecessors, demonstrate a desire to compete against traditional internal combustion engines.
