AFC Energy's Extreme E contract renewed for second season

AFC will again power all of the racers in the five rallies this year

AFC Energy had its contract to power the Extreme E all-electric SUV racing series extended to cover the 2022 season.

The fuel cell developer's "L" Series hydrogen power generator was used at all five races in the inaugural 2021 season to power the vehicles across a range of terrains on different continents.

AFC's new contract, signed yesterday, again sees its fuel cell system being commercially rented to Extreme E for the race vehicles at each of the five rounds in 2022.

Famous racing team McLaren has joined the participants this year while a race in South America will feature for the first time.

Adam Bond, AFC chief executive, said: "We are delighted to be extending our collaboration with Extreme E into 2022.

"Last year the use of our fuel cell by Extreme E prevented a significant amount of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere.

This contract is just one in a strong pipeline of system sales and lease opportunities which will underpin future revenue growth as we seek to capitalise on our position to displace diesel generators within the next decade."

Alejandro Agag, Extreme E CEO and founder, added: "Working with AFC Energy has enabled Extreme E to be the world's first sporting event to use zero-emission power generators.

“From the outset, our vision of using battery-powered race cars could only be truly fulfilled if we could charge them in a completely sustainable way. AFC Energy has enabled us to do that, and we are delighted to be using their technology again for the 2022 season.”
