Hydrogen Leads the Way

At the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, the second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, hydrogen demonstrated one of the paths toward decarbonizing motorsports and mobility in general.

Endurance racing and the 24 Hours of Le Mans are actively contributing to the energy transition. Among the approaches adopted by this discipline to successfully decarbonize mobility? Hydrogen.

In Belgium, numerous events allowed the public, competitors, and even European university professors working with younger generations to discover the potential of this energy carrier.

While a forum dedicated to educators brought together various experts—including TOYOTA, Hyundai, Ariane Group, Michelin, FORVIA, Ensosp (École Nationale Supérieure des Officiers de Sapeurs-Pompiers), Motion Applied, TotalEnergies, Horizon Educational, MissionH24, and the ACO, a hydrogen fuel cell bus and the TOYOTA GR Yaris H2 Concept with a hydrogen combustion engine, driven by Kazuki Nakajima, showcased real-world zero-CO2-emission vehicles on the track.
