The UK government has made a significant decision regarding the use of hydrogen-fuelled machinery on public roads. The Minister for the Future of Roads, Lilian Greenwood MP, signed a statutory instrument allowing hydrogen-fuelled agricultural and construction machinery to operate on UK roads starting 29 April. This amendment to the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 signifies a step forward in the adoption of hydrogen technology in various sectors. Minister Greenwood highlighted the support for British businesses and the country's commitment to the net zero transition. The move was applauded by JCB chairman, Anthony Bamford, who has led a project to develop a hydrogen combustion engine for JCB's machines. The endorsement of hydrogen in machinery by the UK government marks a historic day for JCB and the industries utilizing construction and agricultural machinery. The new legislation paves the way for hydrogen-powered machines to travel between sites and farms on public roads, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
