The World Rally Championship’s Rally1 hybrid era began in 2022, but the original plug-in hybrid units did not continue into the 2025 season: the FIA announced on 15 November 2024 that they would no longer be used from 2025. The system paired an electric motor with a turbocharged engine to provide selectable electric power in competition and electric-only running in designated zones. That history does not, by itself, establish Rally1’s exact 2026 technical configuration.
Why the FIA added hybrid power to Rally1
For the 2022 regulations, the FIA combined a hybrid unit with Rally1’s existing 1.6-litre turbocharged internal-combustion engine. The FIA presented the package as a way to retain high performance while advancing its safety and environmental aims. It also required cars to run in full-electric mode in designated Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) zones near service parks. FIA overview of the 2022 Rally1 regulations
Hybridization was only one part of that package. Rally1 cars in that era also used 100 per cent fossil-free fuel, a separate measure that should not be confused with the electric system or treated as proof of lower total lifecycle emissions.
The electric contribution was intended for particular situations rather than as a permanently active boost. In its 2021 explanation, the FIA described up to 100 kW (134 hp) of additional electric power and three operating modes: Full Electric, Stage Start, and Stage. In Stage mode, teams and drivers could create up to three personalized maps to choose how hybrid power was deployed. FIA explanation of the Rally1 hybrid system

How the 2022-era Rally1 hybrid system worked
Engine, motor and battery
The FIA’s 2022 overview specified a 100 kW electric motor and a 3.9 kWh battery alongside the 1.6-litre turbo engine. It reported combined performance of more than 500 hp. These are figures for the 2022-era specification, not a claim about today’s Rally1 cars. FIA 2022 technical overview
Three ways to operate
- Full Electric Mode: the car ran on electric power alone in designated HEV zones, including near service parks.
- Stage Start Mode: the FIA described full system power as available at the start of a stage.
- Stage Mode: teams and drivers could use up to three personalized maps to choose how electric power was deployed during a stage.
The modes describe managed power use, not a single boost that was continuously available in the same way. The FIA’s public descriptions do not establish details such as regenerative-braking rates, energy available per stage, or a precise battery charge strategy, so those should not be inferred from the headline motor and battery figures.

A common supplier
For 2022–2024, the FIA named Compact Dynamics the exclusive supplier of Rally1 hybrid equipment. It said a common supplier was intended to support cost efficiency, sporting equity and safety. This was a time-limited agreement for the hybrid arrangement that ended from 2025; it is not evidence of the supplier for any later configuration. FIA supplier announcement
Why high-voltage safety shaped the rules
The hybrid equipment brought high-voltage hazards into the service and competition environment. FIA rules for the Rally1 era required the components to sit inside a reinforced safety structure and specified external HY markings and status lights. Green indicated that the car was safe to touch; a flashing red light with an audible warning indicated it was unsafe to touch. These were competition safety provisions, not guidance for spectators or owners working on ordinary vehicles.

| Period | What the cited FIA material establishes |
|---|---|
| 2022–2024 hybrid era | Rally1 used a hybrid unit with a 1.6-litre turbo engine; the FIA’s 2022 overview listed a 100 kW motor and 3.9 kWh battery. Designated HEV zones required electric-only operation. |
| From 2025 | The FIA announced that the existing plug-in hybrid units would no longer be used. The FIA announcement cited a minimum-weight change from 1,260 kg to 1,180 kg and an air-restrictor change from 36 mm to 35 mm. |
| 2026 | The cited FIA announcement does not establish the full 2026 technical rules or whether hybrid power has since been reintroduced. |
The 2025 announcement is a dated decision about the existing units, not a complete specification for every later season. To describe a particular 2026 car, use the technical regulations that apply to that season rather than assuming either that the 2022 system remains or that the 2025 change permanently defines Rally1.
