JCB’s Hydromax, driven by Andy Green, targets a Bonneville hydrogen land-speed record under FIA timing to showcase hydrogen combustion engines for industrial decarbonization.
Forget all the fuss about diesel—JCB is making its way back to Bonneville, but this time, they’re all about hydrogen! This summer, the Hydromax streamliner is set to smash land-speed records with a duo of production-based hydrogen internal-combustion engines, driven by none other than Wing Commander Andy Green.
