Now it’s very much in the preliminary stages, and since the two groups only signed an MoU, there’s nothing legally binding to see it through, but the fact the vehicle is already being worked on is a great sign.
Hydrogen could very well give combustion a future, and we imagine since Extreme E is one of the partners, it will follow a similar format of extreme off-road racing with a serious commitment to sustainability and equality.
If you didn’t know, Extreme E was created in 2019 by Formula E founders Alejandro Agag and Gil de Ferran. Using specially designed spec silhouette electric SUVs named Odyssey 21, 10 teams comprising one male and one female driver compete in the most remote corners of the planet in hardcore off-road events. Racing in places like Scotland, the Arctic, and Chile, the goal is to highlight complex global issues while also promoting sustainable racing.
