DILO goes racing – Premiere for the H2 racing car KIT25h, and we are right in the middle of it!

On 8 May 2025, the Formula Student KA-RaceIng Team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) celebrated the debut of its latest racing cars, including the hydrogen-powered KIT25h.

The excitement was palpable at the ceremonial rollout in the KIT's Audimax. What the team presented was more than just technology; it was a clear statement for future-oriented mobility: two racing cars that master the balancing act between innovation, sustainability and performance with ease.

The KIT25: electric power with brains

The new KIT25 impresses with its purely electric drive and versatility. It is not only driver-controlled, but can also be operated autonomously. This is made possible by a sophisticated interplay of sensors, intelligent software and a chassis that has been optimised down to the last detail. The vehicle is therefore ideally equipped for this season's big races.

The KIT25h: a racing car that makes hydrogen mobile

The real highlight: the KIT25h, the first completely hydrogen-powered race car in the history of KA-RaceIng. With this step, the team is breaking new ground and sending a strong signal for sustainable motorsport. The emission-free drive meets high-tech and racing spirit.

As a technical partner, we are particularly proud to be part of this forward-looking project.

Our H2 Service Cart ensures safe, reliable and automated handling of hydrogen, a crucial success factor for the entire racing team.

The event in the Audimax offered everything motorsport fans and technology enthusiasts could wish for. From a first look at the vehicles and exciting insights into the development work to a preview of the coming season, the team's passion was clearly palpable.

Das Event im Audimax bot alles, was Motorsport-Fans und Technikbegeisterte sich wünschen. Vom ersten Blick auf die Fahrzeuge über aufregende Einblicke in die Entwicklungsarbeit bis hin zum Ausblick auf die kommende Saison. Die Leidenschaft des Teams war deutlich spürbar.
