ACCIONA in Extreme E
A RACE FOR THE PLANET
At ACCIONA, we have a firm conviction: It is time to accelerate the transition to a fairer, lower-carbon planet. For the fourth year in a row, we joined the Extreme E 100% electric, off-road, mixed-gender competition to share this conviction with the world.
This ground-breaking competition is taking the championship to five of the world's most visible climate change hotspots, with the aim of making a positive impact in each of them.
As signatories to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework, we are committed to:
Its main purpose is both environmental and social: to raise awareness on climate change and gender equality, promoting community action in the localities in which the races are held.
- Educating and spreading the word on climate action.
- Reducing the impact of sport on the climate.
- Promoting greater environmental responsibility.
- Promoting sustainability and responsible consumption.
- Promoting gender equality.

Change is the goal in Extreme E 2024
STAGES OF THE FOURTH EDITION (2024)
STAGES OF THE RACE
The climate crisis hits some areas of the planet harder. The competition helps to increase awareness about five ecosystems affected by climate change, about the need to preserve their ecosystems and generate a positive impact through environmental recovery programmes.
POSITIVE IMPACT: LEGACY
WE WANT TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE REGENERATION
In conjunction with the Extreme E competition, legacy programmes and initiatives are being implemented at each race location to provide social and environmental support to the local communities in order to make a positive impact.
LEGACY IN THE DESER X PRIX
For the Desert X Prix, Extreme E will work in conserving and restoring coral reefs at the Red Sea. Drivers will go underwater in a coral planting exercise to try and preserve the local ecosystems. The series will be working with three organizations in this event: CORDAP, KAUST and Ocean Revive.
Competition objectives:
- Empowering local communities.
- Restoring and conserving vulnerable habitats to increase their resilience.
- Robust and sustainable solutions that make a positive impact based on local needs.
- Renewable energy and emission reduction.
- Talking about climate action.
- Proven experience and success in developing projects in the country.
- Connections in the country.
LEGACY INITIATIVES TO GENERATE POSITIVE IMPACT 2023
Transport is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. We are advocating the electrification of transport to help combat climate change, in line with the Odyssey 21: a 100% electric all-terrain vehicle.
THE CAR: Odissey 21
SAME CAR, SAME OPPORTUNITIES
All nine teams use the Odyssey 21, the 100% electric off-road vehicle with batteries powered by green hydrogen systems. This unique design is able to withstand harsh terrain and temperature conditions.
The exterior shell of the Odyssey 21 is made from natural flax fibre, a sustainable material that, according to the Extreme E competition, enables a 75% reduction in the carbon footprint of the entire manufacturing process.
With a 400-kW engine (the equivalent of 557 bhp), the off-road Odyssey 21 SUV is revolutionising the racing car scene. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and can tackle slopes of up to 130%.
