MT Newswires Live06-04 11:25

Toyota Motor (TYO:7203) will perform the first public demonstration runs of its liquid hydrogen-fuelled TR LH2 Racing Prototype at Circuit de la Sarthe, site of the 94th Le Mans 24 Hours, next week.

The prototype, which shares the same chassis as the competing TR010 HYBRID Hypercar, is scheduled for demo laps on June 11 and June 13.

Toyota has pursued hydrogen engine development in motorsports since 2021 with Rookie Racing's ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 Concept in Japan's Super Taikyu series, which switched from gaseous to liquid hydrogen in 2023.

The potential of hydrogen engines in rallying was first shown in 2022 when the GR Yaris H2 completed demo runs at Ypres Rally, followed by further demonstrations of the GR Yaris Rally2 H2 Concept at Rally Finland in 2025 and Rallye Monte-Carlo this year.
