The hydrogen fuel cell can be one of the most developed and tested car technologies with a strict test that never reaches prevailing production, but this does not mean that.
The FIA EXTREME H, a new off -road car championship that was later created this year, aims to clarify the ability of technology.
Its leading cars will not be operated only by hydrogen fuel cells that consume the produced hydrogen in a sustainable way, but electrical activities will be created on the site using fixed fuel cells as well.
Cars depend on rough rough roads on rough roads, using the same type of electrical driving, but with partial replacement of batteries with a system of hydrogen fuel cells 75 kW. The stack is fed with 2 kg of compressed hydrogen gas stored in 700 bar in two Toyota Mirai tanks.
The fuel cells are best suited to provide a continuous flow of energy instead of the crossing engines that are needed by a 325 kW and 36 kilowatt battery between the two, and they act as a temporary store.
The battery operates 450V-850V, operates 268 hp engines battery on the front and rear side and made 536 hp in the total. The maximum speed is 124 miles per hour and 0-62 miles per hour takes 4.5 seconds, although the huge car weight is 2200 kg.
The fuel cell is provided by Symbio, but the goal is to allow the difference to use its fuel cell system if they wish.
Batteries come from Fortescue Wae, which opened a technical center in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, in 2023, and the batteries were provided to Extreme E.
The extremist H batteries will be produced there as well, but it has a slightly smaller capacity of those used in Extreme E, because the main power source is now the fuel cell.
As with Extreme E, cars are manufactured through Spark Racing technology, based in Tigery, outside Paris.
Each one is 6 meters long with a wheelbase of 3.2 meters (almost like the BMW 7 series) and based on the tubular structure of the space frame with the front effect structures.
Pioneer passed 25 mandatory FIA’s mandatory structure tests last year. Compared to the extremist E, the Pioneer 25 has a strengthening structure, and additional central disruption structures on hydrogen tanks and energy -absorbing structures on both sides of the car.
High pressure and low hydrogen systems were installed during the tests and both are fully compressed to ensure that no pressure is lost.
