JCB has completed testing of its hydrogen-powered land speed record JCB Hydromax car ahead of its attempt to break the land speed record later this summer at Bonneville (thank you George)
The test runs took place at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire with Andy Green behind the wheel. The testing saw speeds increase from 177mph to 208mph
The 32-foot Hydromax car is powered by a powertrain developed in-house that combines two engines producing a combined 1,600bhp. The engines are “very similar” to those that feature in JCB’s own production-based hydrogen diggers, but have been enhanced by the need for speed.
