Abstract
- Toyota Gazoo Racing unveils GR LH2 Racing Idea, powered by liquid hydrogen, at Le Mans 2024
- Primarily based on the GR010 HYBRID, it advances Toyota’s hydrogen motorsport growth
- Goals to assist carbon-neutral targets by way of future observe testing and tech innovation
Toyota Gazoo Racing has formally unveiled the GR LH2 Racing Idea, a liquid hydrogen-powered check automotive that represents the subsequent step in Toyota’s push for carbon neutrality by way of motorsports. Debuting in the course of the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans on the H2 Village, the idea builds on years of hydrogen growth by the Japanese automaker.
The GR LH2 Racing Idea is predicated on the GR010 HYBRID Hypercar that competes within the FIA World Endurance Championship. It marks Toyota’s most superior hydrogen-powered prototype to this point, following efforts just like the hydrogen-engine Corolla within the Tremendous Taikyu collection and demonstration runs of the GR Yaris H2 within the WRC.
Notably, the idea highlights Toyota’s dedication to growing hydrogen know-how not simply as a sustainable gas, however as a viable energy supply for high-performance motorsport. That includes a liquid hydrogen gas system, it goals to speed up innovation throughout the hydrogen worth chain—from manufacturing to utilization. Unveiled alongside liveries that commemorate Toyota’s 40-year Le Mans legacy, the GR LH2 joins a bigger narrative that honors the previous whereas boldly stepping towards the long run. Observe testing will observe, serving to Toyota refine its hydrogen techniques and strengthen partnerships that assist a zero-emissions future in racing and past.
