Toyota: HySE to participate in the Dakar 2025 "Mission 1000 ACT2" with the HySE-X2, to tackle further technical challenges

Toyota City, Japan, Nov 12, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - HySE (Hydrogen Small mobility & Engine technology Association) will participate in the "Mission 1000 ACT2(1)" of Dakar 2025 (Dakar Rally(2)), which will be held in Saudi Arabia from 3rd to 17th January 2025, with the HySE-X2. "Mission 1000" is the category newly added to Dakar 2024, which is well-known as "Dakar Rally" for the world's toughest motorsport, inviting vehicles using powertrains of next generation for the carbon neutrality.

HySE participated in it this year with hydrogen engine-equipped HySE-X1 to identify potential issues with small mobility that are yet unknown. HySE-X1 kept running through the final day and came in 4th position in the category.

This time, which will be our second entry, HySE will be launching the HySE-X2 which has the engine and the chassis that are progressed from those of HySE-X1, in order to tackle new technical challenges like increasing output at the high revolution range, improving fuel consumption at the middle range and increasing capacity of the hydrogen tank. HySE will continuously work to build a global and cross-industry network for the realization of compact hydrogen mobility, by promoting HySE's presence and initiatives through the participation in the world-renowned Dakar Rally.

HySE is also going to participate in "European Hydrogen Week(3)" which will be held at Brussels, Belgium between 18th and 22nd November and display the HySE-X2 at the booth, "Automobile Club de l'Ouest" located in HALL7, M20.

Comment from Daichi Kai, Team Manager of HySE Dakar 2025

"We have decided to participate in the Dakar Rally with HySE-X2 which has the engine and the chassis that are progressed from those of HySE-X1. We would like to contribute to the establishment of technologies for the small hydrogen mobility engine, by verifying the effects of the countermeasures for technical issues found with HySE-X1 this year and by challenging more severe performance area of the engine. The details of our activities will be shown through Instagram and we would appreciate your support."
