Launching in 2025, our long-standing partner Extreme E will become Extreme H - the world's first Hydrogen-powered racing series.
The first-ever hydrogen-powered racing car - the Pioneer 2, was unveiled today on board the St Helena ship, moored by London's iconic Tower Bridge, marking a historic moment for the series set to redefine the future of motorsport.
Our evolution to Extreme H makes us the first-ever testbed of hydrogen technology in motorsport...it’s a ground-breaking initiative. Our racing series has always been unique, but its future as Extreme H undoubtedly marks Racing’s New Frontier.
The magic of hydrogen
Green hydrogen generates no polluting emissions into the earth’s atmosphere and is, as a result, the cleanest and most sustainable form of hydrogen. It truly is the magic molecule.
Hydrogen fuel cells offer a remarkable opportunity to reduce carbon footprints and promote clean energy solutions. Extreme H will lead this charge.
The Pioneer 25
The Extreme H car, aptly titled the ‘Pioneer 25’ as the series begins its innovative new era, is a completely new car, which has been in development ever since the announcement of the world’s first hydrogen racing championship was made in 2022.
The Pioneer 25 racing car is designed to demonstrate the viability and performance capabilities of hydrogen fuel cells, setting a new standard for eco-friendly motorsport.
We are proud to continue to support Extreme E and Extreme H in this incredible journey, which is a bold step forward in the transition to clean energy, showcasing cutting-edge hydrogen technology in a competitive racing environment.
