Siemens and GeoPura will deliver industrial software and technical consultancy services to Extreme E and Extreme H, as part of a consortium alongside Extreme E and its existing partner network, as the series moves towards an exciting new venture with the future launch of an off-road hydrogen racing championship – a world-first for motorsport. ENOWA will continue to develop the hydrogen solution that will power on-site operations and infrastructure at each race location.
The Extreme H car will retain the same powertrain and chassis used in Extreme E. The key differentiating factor in Extreme H will be the hydrogen fuel cell that replaces the battery as the principal energy source. Further details regarding the transition to hydrogen and the Extreme E championship will be announced in due course.
