First LH₂ fuelled car to race

May 29, 2023

Toyota Motor Corporation has been competing since May 2021 with a GR Corolla H2 Concept powered by gaseous hydrogen.
Now it takes a big step forward with the on-board accumulation of liquid hydrogen which allows refuelling in the pits as with traditional cars. In fact, the refuelling area is much smaller because much of the equipment needed for gaseous hydrogen is no longer required. Furthermore, refuelling is decidedly faster and, for the same amount of time, a double quantity of hydrogen is supplied.
Obviously it was necessary to modify the fuel system, but the engine remained the same used for gaseous hydrogen.
The first race of this new model was the 24 hours of Super Taikyu Fuji in recent days.
