With this next-generation engineering, the Staffordshire based Construction giant is truly leading the way into the future by implementing greener technologies for the use of JCB machines. To help accelerate this development, JCB signed a memorandum of understanding with Fortescue Future Industries to buy billions of pounds of green hydrogen. This is hydrogen that has been produced using wind power and hydro-electricity, with Fortescue having plants in both Australia and Papua New Guinea. Within this agreement JCB, alongside Ryze Hydrogen (owned by Lord Bamford’s son; Jo Bamford), agreed to purchase 10% of Fortescue’s global GH2 production, this in turn would make Fortescue the largest supplier of clean fuel in the UK. The chairman of Fortescue, Andrew Forrest said “The agreement signals the first major shift in the global commercial landscape from fossil fuels towards the real, practical, implementable solution that is green hydrogen.” Production is expected to begin within the front end of next year. Once Fortescue have produced and supplied their green hydrogen, JCB and Ryze hydrogen will then take care of the sales and distribution within the UK. Following on from this, JCB also announced they will be investing £100m, with plans to recruit up to 50 extra engineers, to deliver efficient hydrogen engines to their customers by 2023. This comes as a result of a successful prototype for a backhoe loader earlier this year that was equipped with a hydrogen engine that produced no CO2 emissions, yet offered similar performance to the renowned Dieselmax engine currently used. In recognition of this greener technology, JCB have been awarded with their third Dewar award for “an outstanding British technical achievement in the automotive field”. The prestigious trophy was presented to JCB by the Royal Automotive club and was a celebration of the first hydrogen motor to exist in the industry. With nothing but steam emitted from the tailpipe and the use of the world’s most abundant element, the hydrogen fuelled engine reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere which is a huge leap into a brighter future. The award is the third that the RAC has presented to them, with their first being awarded in 2007 after the Dieselmax team set a diesel-powered land speed record of 350.092 mph on the Bonneville salt flats in the US, and the second award achieved in 2019 after the launch of the 19C-1E electric mini-excavator. Always striving for better, these awards go to show how JCB are truly leading the way into the future of construction machinery. Whether that be through their powerful E-Tech range or their development of the all-new hydrogen engines, you can be assured that JCB are always looking for a better way.
