On the 6^th of May 2023, the Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) returned to Switzerland for another year of action-packed hydrogen racing.

Over 20 school teams from across Switzerland put their renewable energy engineering skills to the test over a 6-hour ‘endurance race’ for a chance to make it to the H2GP World Final in Las Vegas.  

Over the six-month Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix Educational program, teams were challenged to design, engineer, build and race fuel cell electric cars powered exclusively by hydrogen.  This process instilled traditional science and engineering skills in our Swiss students, but it also promoted critical thinking, teamwork and project management abilities.

We’d like to congratulate EPAI GIBS and LIEBHERR teams who emerged victorious and are now getting ready for the World Final.

The Design Award – given to the team whose creativity and innovation drive them to create the best-looking car body, often using computer-aided design – was awarded to team ‘HOTAKU’.

The Innovation Award – awarded to the team whose modifications or innovative features are found by the jury to be the most advanced – was taken home by team ‘COLT 1’

Team ‘COMA 2’ was awarded the ‘Pit Stop’ award – given to the group of students who work best in a team to get their car back on track as fast as possible.
