MissionH24 has partnered with Toyota for an event at the Dreux circuit. The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) confirmed their attendance in this Toyota-organized event, which is part of the activities surrounding the Paris Games.
Throughout August, various guests visited various circuits in the Western Paris region. This weekend, ACO and the MissionH24 team joined the event. Toyota transformed the Dreux circuit into a mobility showcase featuring vehicles powered by multiple energy sources, including hydrogen, and set up a dedicated pavilion to explore this theme.
