Grenoble, September 29, 2025 - HRS, a French designer and manufacturer and European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, applauds the organization of the first FIA Extreme H World Cup, which will take place in Qiddiya City (Saudi Arabia) from October 9 to 11, 2025. At the invitation of Neom, HRS will be present on site to meet with local players in the hydrogen market and promote its solutions for decarbonizing mobility.
This worldwide first marks a major milestone for the hydrogen industry and sustainable mobility: for the first time, an international motor racing championship will be powered entirely by hydrogen. The successor to Extreme E (100% electric), Extreme H embodies a new era of sporting competition, combining high performance, technological innovation, and respect for the environment.
Hydrogen, a driver of performance and sustainability
The FIA Extreme H World Cup is a concrete illustration of hydrogen's potential to meet the challenges of the energy transition. By demonstrating its ability to power vehicles in a demanding sporting environment, this event highlights the robustness, reliability, and efficiency of this clean energy source.
HRS confirms commercial potential in the Middle East
Following the commissioning in autumn 2024 of a refueling station in Neom for Enowa in Saudi Arabia[1], HRS aims to accelerate its development in this dynamic and high-potential area.
In order to strengthen its local presence and get closer to its prospects, HRS announces the opening of a sales office in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) in October 2025.
HRS thus confirms its ambition to play an active role in the development of the hydrogen ecosystem in the Middle East.
The Gulf countries have significant potential for hydrogen production and are actively working to develop this low-carbon energy source. Saudi Arabia has ambitions to become a major player in green hydrogen production, with flagship projects such as the Neom complex, currently under construction, which aims to produce 600 tonnes per day by 2026[2] as well as the Yanbu mega-hub, which aim to position the kingdom as a world leader in clean hydrogen. The United Arab Emirates, through its National Hydrogen Strategy 2050, aspires to become one of the largest producers of low-carbon hydrogen by 2031, with an annual production of 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of blue hydrogen[3].
A shared vision
The emergence of international events such as Extreme H helps raise awareness among the general public and economic players of the importance of hydrogen in building a more sustainable energy future. This approach is fully in line with HRS's mission: to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen for all mobility and infrastructure uses.
Hassen RACHEDI, founder and CEO of HRS, says: "The launch of the FIA Extreme H World Cup illustrates hydrogen's ability to take sustainable mobility to the next level. Seeing hydrogen establish itself on an international competition circuit demonstrates its reliability and performance, even in the most demanding environments. At HRS, we are convinced that these initiatives reinforce global momentum and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen in all forms of mobility. And we are particularly proud to have already contributed to this momentum in Saudi Arabia, with a station in service on the NEOM project for the past year. The upcoming opening of our office in Dubai demonstrates our determination to seize opportunities in this rapidly growing market."
