JCB has obtained approval to sell and utilize its hydrogen engine across the EU, marking a significant advancement for clean fuel in heavy-duty industries. The EU type-approval, granted under Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, confirms compliance with the strictest emissions standards. Lord Bamford, JCB Chairman, highlights the potential of hydrogen as a zero CO₂ fuel for a net-zero future. The hydrogen engine, aimed at reducing carbon emissions, outshines electric counterparts by offering quick refueling, high performance, and zero carbon footprint. The recent UK government approval for hydrogen-powered machinery on public roads aligns with JCB's commitment to sustainability. The technology innovation promises to enhance the construction industry's environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions. JCB's hydrogen-powered machines are in the final testing stages, suggesting imminent availability. This development follows earlier permissions in nine European countries and positions JCB at the forefront of clean fuel innovation in heavy-duty applications.
