The EHR by Himoinsa at the largest Rally Championship in Japan
The EHR | Battery Power Generator by Himoinsa was present at the largest Rally in Japan. The solution proposed, which integrates cutting-edge technology, was based on a Yanmar hydrogen fuel cell, responsible for supplying clean, high-performance energy at this world-class event.
Himoinsa was present at one of the largest Rally Championships in Japan, with its EHR | Battery Power Generator. Through this battery power storage and distribution technology, the solution was based on a 32kW Yanmar hydrogen fuel cell connected to a 45 kVA EHR battery power generator to meet the energy needs of the Toyota team’s garages.
The system has achieved the highest efficiency, optimising emissions and noise: two fundamental premises in events such as the Japan Rally, held in the urban area of the city of Toyota, which hosted the event from 21 to 24 November.
Following its commitment to sustainability, Toyota, has chosen to organise an event with a zero carbon footprint. This approach has demonstrated the potential of Himoinsa’s EHR system, based on clean energy and zero emissions, as a key solution for events such as this. Looking ahead, Toyota’s goal is to replicate this model in Europe, with the aim of organising an all-electric rally using the advanced energy generation and storage technology offered by the EHR system.
Rally Japan 2024 embraces a sustainability-focused environmental policy for the World Rally Championship, with a highly committed executive committee, implementing environmentally friendly initiatives and integrating these practices into the planning and execution of the event.
“For Himoinsa it has been a pleasure to be present with our EHR systems at such an important event as the final of the World Rally Championship in Japan. Achieving the demanding environmental requirements set by the organisers has been a pleasure. Our EHR technology, which enables the generation of energy from batteries in a sustainable way and with zero emissions, is ideal for urban environments where the environmental and acoustic impact must be kept to a minimum. This event is an important step for the company in our consolidation in the mobile power market in Japan and highlights the value of the alliance between Himoinsa and Yanmar, offering a complete integrated solution,” said Christopher Autey, Head of Battery Energy Solutions at Himoinsa.
