Extreme E to be discontinued as the focus shifts to Extreme H

Extreme E will be discontinued post the finale in the US as the focus of the owners will shift to developing the world’s first hydrogen off-road series.

Extreme H track testing is well underway. The new race car, powered by hydrogen and at the forefront of sustainable technology and innovation, at full speed will be unveiled later this year and finally Extreme H will launch in 2025.

In his column on Extreme E website, Managing Director Ali Russell said: “There is so much to be excited about in 2024 for our championship. Not only will our new Extreme E season get underway in February, but plans for the launch of Extreme H – a world-first in motorsport – are now well underway.

There were plenty of milestones for us last year regarding Extreme H, which made it a hugely successful one – we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), setting out a framework to create the first-ever hydrogen off-road racing world championship, and then followed that up with the launch of a pioneering hydrogen technical working group, where we will collaborate closely with the FIA and Formula One.”
