JCB praised a significant government decision that permits hydrogen-fuelled construction and agricultural machinery to operate on public highways in the UK. The Chairman of JCB, Anthony Bamford, celebrated the milestone as 'historic,' marking a pivotal moment for the use of hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel in industries. This decision follows the approval of a statutory instrument by Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood. The amendment to regulations allows hydrogen-powered non-road mobile machinery to utilize UK roads legally. JCB's substantial investment in developing efficient zero-emission hydrogen engines has garnered positive feedback from customers, affirming the technology's performance. The collaboration with rental companies and contractors across the UK showcases JCB's commitment to testing and implementing hydrogen-powered equipment. The endorsement of hydrogen use in machinery signifies a crucial step towards sustainability and innovation in the transportation sector. The legislative change not only benefits JCB but also aligns with the UK's Plan for Change, emphasizing the country's support for businesses driving towards a greener future.
