Lord Bamford says that JCB has made enormous strides in a short space
of time to develop a hydrogen internal combustion engine
JCB will showcase its hydrogen combustion technology on the
international stage for the first time with a debut in North America.
The OEMs new hydrogen combustion engine – the company’s zero-carbon
emissions solution for construction and agricultural equipment – will
be shown at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023 in Las Vegas, US, as part of the
International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE).
“The JCB engineering team has made enormous strides in a short space
of time to develop a hydrogen internal combustion engine and it
already powers a JCB prototype backhoe loader and a Loadall telescopic
hander,” said JCB Chairman, Lord Bamford.
“As the first construction equipment company to develop a fully
working combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen, I’m delighted we are
now able to present this technology on the international stage.”
JCB says that it has been focusing on environmental, social and
governance (ESG) for the construction equipment sector and has been at
the forefront of electric technology development to meet customers’
demands for zero-carbon products.
The OEM has one of the construction industry’s largest portfolios of
electric equipment.
The manufacturer added that its diesel-powered machines emit 50% less
CO2 compared with those manufactured in 2010 and that its clean diesel
engine technology will also be showcased on the stand in Las Vegas.
