Could Alpine keep combustion, after all? The firm's CEO has revealed plans to use hydrogen as a sustainable fuel for traditional engines
He said that in terms of future-proofing low-volume, 'high-output' sports cars,"sustainable fuels could be the solution".
“In our case, we believe hydrogen as a fuel could be one. Hydrogen has the green merit of being very compatible with electrification, because the parallel path to hydrogen as a fuel is hydrogen as a fuel cell, which produces electricity. "That’s good because the end-to-end industrial path for hydrogen will be compatible with electrification, so we believe that could be one way forward."
Rossi revealed that Alpine aims to showcase hydrogen-combustion technology in a racing car in the future, either in Le Mans or another discipline, and could even create a bespoke prototype – in the vein of“We believe there might be a proof of concept that could be done, with hydrogen as a fuel, that could then later on translate into super high-performance cars, and why not Alpine road cars?
“We know that Le Mans is promoting hydrogen fuel cells, which is one step forward, but we want to go another step forward and use hydrogen as a fuel so we could use a V6 – a hybridised V6 – powered by hydrogen", he said.
