Extreme H series set to launch in 2025
Featuring hydrogen-powered racing
Extreme H, a groundbreaking initiative in motorsport focusing on developing hydrogen-powered race cars, will debut in 2025.
The series will feature the Pioneer 25, a cutting-edge vehicle designed to showcase the potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology in high-performance racing.
The Pioneer 25 is engineered to deliver an unparalleled racing experience and boasts impressive specifications. It is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, providing a peak power output of 400 kW (550 bhp) and a top speed of 200 km/h.
With a weight of 2,200 kg and dimensions of 4.8 metres in length, 1.9 metres in width, and 2.4 metres in height, the Pioneer 25 is a robust yet agile competitor on the track. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, highlighting its performance capabilities.
At the heart of the Pioneer 25 is Symbio hydrogen fuel cell technology, which uses a 2 kg hydrogen tank pressurised to 700 bar. This technology not only powers the car but also demonstrates the sustainability and efficiency of hydrogen as a clean energy source for the future of motorsports. The Pioneer 25 also has FIA-mandated impact structures, ensuring safety during high-speed races.
Fox’s Live Valve system provides advanced suspension technology for precise handling and stability. The car’s tubular space frame chassis is designed to perfectly balance strength and lightweight agility, while the central driving position gives the driver optimal control.
The launch of Extreme H and the Pioneer 25 marks a milestone in transitioning to cleaner energy in competitive racing. Extreme H aims to set a new standard in motorsports by using hydrogen fuel cells, proving that cutting-edge green technologies can thrive in high-performance racing.
Extreme H completed the first major milestone in its development, successfully carrying out a shakedown of the series’ first prototype chassis in December 2023.
Extreme H represents a revolution in racing and a commitment to showcasing the potential of hydrogen fuel cells, pushing the boundaries of innovation in motorsport for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
