JCB is set to showcase what it describes as its "super-efficient hydrogen combustion technology" on the international stage for the first time ever with a debut in North America.

The wraps will come off their brand new hydrogen combustion engine - the company’s zero-carbon emissions solution for agricultural and construction equipment - at the Conexpo 2023 show in Las Vegas as part of the International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE).

 

JCB Chairman Lord Bamford is leading the project to develop JCB’s hydrogen technology. He said, “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. 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 say their commitment to reducing emissions goes back almost 25 years and boast their latest diesel engines have delivered a 97% reduction in NOx emissions since 1999 and a 98% reduction in particulates. Today they say their diesel-powered machines also emit 50% less CO2 compared with those manufactured in 2010.

 

The company's clean diesel engine technology will also be showcased on the stand in Las Vegas.
