MissionH24 and Bosch Motorsport: a technical partnership for climate-friendly racing

The collaboration between the ACO and the H24Project for emission-free competitions is significantly strengthened by the latest partnership with Bosch Motorsport, a major player in the motorsport industry. As part of Bosch Engineering GmbH, an engineering partner of the automotive industry for more than 25 years, Bosch Motorsport supports some of the most important racing series in the world as a partner and technology supplier.
Since its launch in 2018, MissionH24 has reached numerous milestones for the use of hydrogen in endurance racing. The H24EVO, an electric hydrogen prototype will store liquid hydrogen on board. Bosch Motorsport is convinced of this pioneering laboratory's potential.

For the project, Bosch Motorsport is developing the Liquid Hydrogen Storage Control Unit (L-HSCU). This unit is specifically designed for the liquid storage of hydrogen in race cars, playing a crucial role in the integration of hydrogen technology in motorsport. The L-HSCU manages the liquid hydrogen storage in real-time to ensure optimal operating conditions. It monitors and controls all the sensors and actuators that continuously provide data on the state of the storage system. The control unit also communicates with both onboard and offboard refueling systems, ensuring an efficient and safe refueling process, crucial for racing operations. The L-HSCU will provide the highest level of safety for operation in the Motorsport environment, in accordance with the applicable FIA regulations.

Rémi Fouret, Head of Bosch Motorsport France

“MissionH24, ACO, and Bosch share the same values of innovation in performance, safety and sustainability. We are convinced that together with these strong partners, we can create a climate neutral endurance racing.”

Bassel Aslan, Technical Director of MissionH24

“We are very excited to have Bosch Engineering with us in this innovative program, such a big name with a long history in mobility solutions, will no doubt bring significant added value to embedded systems in our future H2 racing car (H24EVO). Bosch participation won’t be limited to their classical motorsport components, their experience in electronics and control will be of great help to us in monitoring and management aspects of hydrogen storage technology.”

For MissionH24, Bosch Motorsport will supply additional components, designed thanks to the extensive experience in motorsport. The PowerBox PBX 190, a fully programable, intelligent control and distribution unit for the onboard electric grid, simplifies and optimizes the electronic architecture of a race car. The collision avoidance system CAS-M light, a radar-based technology, enhances track safety by warning the driver of approaching vehicles, delivering the same performance regardless the weather conditions. The newly developed wiper motor WDD2-EU, with direct rotation movement replacing any external gears, allows programming of operating speeds and wiping angles in all its function modes.

In addition, various sensors are used, specifically selected for racing applications due to their performance and reliability. These provide information to optimize the performance of the H24EVO by measuring the accelerator pedal position, vehicle dynamics, brake pressure, speed of each wheel, steering angle, temperature and pressure in several locations of the vehicle.
