Prince Albert II of Monaco took to the streets of his principality to test drive Extreme H's Pioneer 25, the world's first hydrogen-powered race car. The demonstration run from the Prince's Palace to Hotel Hermitage preceded the Monaco Hydrogen Alliance Forum.

"Hydrogen represents an important pathway to a sustainable future, offering solutions to reduce emissions across multiple sectors," stated Prince Albert II, a known motorsport enthusiast and environmental advocate.

The Pioneer 25 will compete in the world's inaugural hydrogen-powered racing series launching next year. Extreme H founder Alejandro Agag emphasized the significance of Prince Albert's support, noting how it reinforces hydrogen's potential in addressing global environmental challenges.

This royal involvement follows a tradition of monarchs supporting sustainable motorsport initiatives. In 2021, William, Prince of Wales, tested the Extreme E Odyssey 21 at Knockhill Circuit, while Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia has been a regular attendee at Extreme E events in his country.
