History
History
Founded in 2019 by young French racing driver Olivier Lombard, the youngest winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 category, Hopium aims to launch and assemble a hydrogen-powered automobile in France. On December 23, 2020, Hopium was listed on the Access compartment of Euronext Paris. In May 2021, the French equipment manufacturer Plastic Omnium announced a partnership with the automotive brand and would supply the hydrogen storage system for the Hopium Māchina. On June 17, 2021, the brand presented its first rolling prototype called Alpha 0 on the sidelines of the Viva Technology show in Paris. Hopium took advantage of this announcement to open its book of 1,000 numbered pre-orders at the reservation price of €410. On October 21, 2021, Hopium and Saint-Gobain Sekurit announced a partnership to co-develop the windows of the Māchina, the first model of the French car brand. In 2022, Minister of Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari under the Jean Castex government joined the company's board of directors, which sparked controversy. Haute Autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique (HATVP) gave an opinion on this professional project, excluding a priori the risk of illegal taking of interests, but indicating an ethical risk which makes it necessary to supervise the former minister.
