The ACO and MissionH24 at the European Hydrogen Week
In Brussels, at the exhibition center, from November 18 to 22, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest and MissionH24, a program in collaboration with H24Project, are participating in this annual benchmark event "European Hydrogen Week", which has become a meeting place essential for European and international players.
Organized by Hydrogen Europe, Hydrogen Europe Research, the European Commission and Clean Hydrogen Partnership, European Hydrogen Week is celebrating its fifth edition in 2024. It is clear that both the format and the participants have multiplied and diversified in parallel with the deployment of hydrogen, a crucial energy vector for the energy transition and for industrial decarbonization.
During these five days, from November 18 to 22, hydrogen players are gathered to present, exchange, debate, build... Industrialists, companies, institutions, elected officials, regions, territories, among other participants, are among the speakers, exhibitors, and visitors to the various sites. We will note the presence of India and Japan, two countries involved in the decarbonization of mobility and industry.
Hall 7 and Hall 11 of the Parc des Expos in Brussels will host the European Hydrogen Week. The ACO and MissionH24 will host a stand in Hall 7, area M20. The H24EVO showcar will allow visitors to see the developments in hydrogen in competition, the solutions chosen by partners to design a prototype dedicated to pure performance in Endurance.
Motor racing and Endurance once again demonstrate the formidable research laboratory that is racing, particularly the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By 2028, a category dedicated to hydrogen prototypes should be included in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
BrightLoop, technical partner of MissionH24
BrightLoop, a specialist in high-performance DC-DC converters with a decade's experience in motorsport, has joined the MissionH24 program. As a technical partner, BrightLoop shares the strategy of decarbonization, and more sustainable racing pursued by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest and H24Project.
The MissionH24 program, a collaboration between the Automobile Club de l'Ouest and H24Project to promote hydrogen in racing, has a new member, who is also a stakeholder in the brand-new H24EVO prototype.
BrightLoop, a leading supplier of advanced power conversion solutions, specializing in high-performance DC-DC converters for a variety of industries, will be equipping the H24EVO fuel cell prototype.
The company offers adaptable converters capable of managing all power flows, both AC and DC, positioning itself as a key partner for players in the energy transition.
The technology developed by BrightLoop enables intelligent management of power flows while offering unmatched compactness and power density, thereby optimizing space, energy efficiency, and control.
This specification corresponds in every respect to the expectations of the operating team of the future H24EVO.
Prior to its involvement in hydrogen racing, BrightLoop gained experience in the unusual world of motor racing, offering DC-DC converters of unique size (power density) and modularity to teams competing in Formula E, IndyCar and Extreme E... Performance, reliability and innovation are necessary values shared by MissionH24 and BrightLoop.
This technical partnership will see members of BrightLoop integrated into MissionH24 for the first test sessions of the H24EVO.
