Excellium Racing EVO, the New 2026 Fuel for the FIA World Endurance Championship

The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) fully embodies this approach by combining technological innovation, energy efficiency, and a constant pursuit of performance.

“Providing energy means innovating to drive progress. Anticipating these changes means fully embracing our responsibility as a leading energy company.”

Introduced in 2022 in both the FIA WEC and the European Le Mans Series, Excellium Racing 100 marked a significant step forward in the evolution of motorsport fuels developed by TotalEnergies.

Building on several years of experience under real racing conditions, TotalEnergies is now taking this commitment further with Excellium Racing EVO, its new competition fuel to be introduced from 2026 onward.

This evolution is founded on the expertise gained through endurance racing and reflects TotalEnergies’ ongoing commitment to increasingly innovative solutions, while meeting the extreme demands of modern motorsport.

Starting in 2026, TotalEnergies will supply the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the European Le Mans Series, and the Asian Le Mans Series with a fuel attributed to 100% certified bio-circular feedstocks* and certified under the ISCC PLUS scheme.

This attribution is based on a mass balance approach audited as part of the ISCC PLUS certification framework. This methodology ensures that an equivalent quantity of certified bio-circular feedstocks is introduced into the production system and allocated to Excellium Racing EVO fuel.

Excellium Racing EVO will also be introduced from 2026 in the GT World Challenge Europe and GT World Challenge Asia championships.

This fuel delivers:

• At least 65% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared with its fossil fuel equivalent**;
• The use of feedstocks derived from recovered residues and waste streams, including used cooking oils, sugar beet pulp residues, wood waste from the paper industry, and industrial co-products;
• The maintenance of an exceptionally high level of performance, fully compatible with the most demanding powertrains in modern motorsport.

Excellium Racing EVO is produced from recovered waste and residues at the La Mède biorefinery, as well as through integrated material flows between TotalEnergies’ industrial platforms. This production model illustrates the Company’s ability to maximize the value of diverse resources within a highly efficient and certified production chain.

Validated by all championship stakeholders, including manufacturers, teams, the FIA, and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), Excellium Racing EVO meets the stringent reliability, safety, and sporting fairness requirements that define endurance racing.

More than ever, motorsport remains a unique testing ground. Technologies developed and proven under the extreme conditions of racing help accelerate innovation and pave the way for tomorrow’s energy solutions.

With Excellium Racing EVO, TotalEnergies continues its commitment to the world’s most prestigious racing championships, combining performance, industrial expertise, and certified traceability of bio-circular feedstocks.
