The Hydrogen Village Expands at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
- Published on 02/06/2026 15:24
Hydrogen is once again set to take a prominent place in the world of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
From June 9 to 14, the ACO H2 Village will host, at the heart of the great 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, manufacturers, industry professionals, researchers, and students around a common goal: to demonstrate the potential of this technology in the mobility of tomorrow.
Over the years, this event has become one of the major showcases of the MissionH24 program supported by ACO and H24Project. The 2026 edition marks a new milestone with a stronger presence from many players in the sector, including Alpine, Toyota Racing, Ligier-Bosch, ArianeGroup, Blue Spirit Aero, Hylico, Eodev, and TotalEnergies.
The public will be able to discover competition prototypes, industrial vehicles, a hydrogen station at 700 bars, research programs, as well as aeronautical and space applications. A Blue Spirit Aero aircraft and elements of the Ariane rocket will notably illustrate the diversity of hydrogen uses.
The scenography has also been revamped with the installation of a 19-meter diameter dome designed by Fugu and the integration of interactive holograms created by James McQueen Design. Demonstrations of refueling, educational activities, games, and meetings with the various exhibitors will complete the experience.
