The MissionH24 group, in which Le Mans organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest is a key partner, took the wraps off a full-scale model of the single-seater hydrogen fuel cell car known as the H24EVO.  It represents a significant step forward on its predecessors, the LMP2HG and then the H24 that took part in four Michelin Le Mans Cup races in 2022. Maximum power output is now 650kW or 872bhp rather than the 350kW (470bhp) of the previous-generation car and weight has been reduced from 1480 to 1300kg.  Significantly the power density of its hydrogen-electric powertrain is 50% higher than before.  The MissionH24 project aims to showcase hydrogen as an alternative fuel in motorsport and help lay down a framework for its use in sportscar racing.  Le Mans organiser the ACO will allow hydrogen-powered machinery using either fuel cell or combustion technology from 2027 and is expecting the first cars to arrive on the grid the following year.
