World’s first digger powered by hydrogen combustion engine soon on UK roads.

The news follows recent government approval, helping to decarbonise the UK’s construction industry.

The UK government has given special dispensation, under a vehicle special order, that allows JCB, the British construction equipment manufacturer, to test and use its world-first hydrogen-powered backhoe loader on UK roads.

Comments : ........WOW awesome, hydrogen fuel is much more efficient than gasoline, but it's also more expensive... BRO.

Joe Ricotta - Is this a world first in our industry, a digger with a purpose-engineered internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen gas as the energy source...
