The drawings of the H24EVO were released in October. “Futuristic”, “spectacular”, “new era”, these were the reactions aroused during the diffusion of the first drawings of the brand new hydrogen electric prototype of the MissionH24 program, during a conference organized at the Amaury group headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt.
At Le Mans, in the village dedicated to hydrogen, the anticipation was therefore high: would the real version translate the audacity of the modeled presentation?
When Pierre Fillon, Jean-Michel Bouresche, the drivers Stéphane Richelmi, Adrien Tambay and the technical director Bassel Aslan discovered the prototype protected from prying eyes by a dark cover, the public automatically approached the luminous space reserved for this pioneering racing car. race.
The lines are revolutionary, elegant. Built for pure performance, for zero-emission racing through hydrogen, the H24EVO made its impact.
Well supported by its partners, TotalEnergies, Symbio, Michelin, OPmobility, Dietsmann and Richard Mille, the H24EVO is made up of elements created for performance and competition.
Symbio fuel cell and battery system, OPmobility tanks, engine, Michelin tires, everything has been optimized, designed for the performance of the H24EVO, powered by hydrogen from TotalEnergies’ H2 mobile station.
On the H24, as on the LMPH2G, the key components existed in more classic versions.
The next important step for the H24EVO: its first track descent in 2025, during the first quarter.
Pierre Fillon, president of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and co-president of MissionH24: “The H24 was a reference car in the MissionH24 program, as it was the first hydrogen electric prototype to race in an Endurance competition, in the Le Mans Cup, linking the finish line to all his efforts.”
“The H24EVO demonstrates a new step for MissionH24: lining up a hydrogen electric prototype capable of competing with conventional combustion cars. Hydrogen will not only be on the track, but will also compete!”
Jean-Michel Bouresche, president of H24Project and co-president of MissionH24: “The objective we have set ourselves is for the H24EVO to be the first hydrogen-electric prototype approved by the FIA and to present a level of performance equivalent to the best GT3s.”
“To do this, we must integrate the latest technologies to have the necessary power. I take this opportunity to highlight Symbio’s strong involvement in the H24EVO program.”
