JCB targets new land speed record using its own hydrogen engines
British engineering giant JCB is targeting a new land speed record with a 32-foot car powered by its own hydrogen engines. 20 years after rewriting the record books with the JCB Dieselmax car, the company is returning to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to attempt a new speed record – this time using hydrogen power. JCB Hydromax will run with two production-based hydrogen engines, producing a combined 1,600 bhp. Source
