A world premiere will take place on Saturday, June 15, 2024, between 12 and 13 hours, on the occasion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2024: the H24, prototype of hydrogen electric race of MissionH24, will evolve on track a few hours before the start of the 92 th edition, as it has already achieved in recent years, but in 2024, a significant change is to be noted: it will not be alone since several other hydrogen prototypes will accompany it for this pioneering demonstration. Evidence that MissionH24, the collaborative program between CAO and H24Project, is actually pursuing its goals.
Alpine will line up on the legendary Mancelle track the Alpenglow Hy4 which will have completed its first laps in public during the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps this May 11, part of the 3rd round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. In the Belgian Ardennes, the deployment of hydrogen in competition has been encouraged for several years, through collaborations between the circuit and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest.
Presented last year during the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the static model of the Alpine vehicle was exhibited in the Hydrogen village, organized within the circuit and dedicated to this new energy vector.
This year again, the Hydrogen ACO H2 village will host many activities dedicated to this technology. A novelty is to be noted for 2024: a paddock H2 will present to the public the zero emission competition with different precursor prototypes as well as the mobile station H2 designed by TotalEnergies. A visit to this future competition world is a must.
