British engineering giant JCB is targeting a new land speed record with a 32-foot car powered by its own hydrogen engines.

JCB is bringing Dual Drive to its 9-tonne site dumpers, in both front tip and swivel skip configurations. The machine delivers class-leading visibility and unmatched cab safety for the operator.

JCB is launching two smaller single drum soil compactors, the VM58D and the VM78D. These models compete in the 4-8 tonne class and are offered with EU Stage V diesel engines, delivering low exhaust emissions, high efficiency and improved compaction performance.

JCB today launches a brand new backhoe loader designed to boost the market and give the next generation of business owners an affordable way to get started – and all for £55,000.

JCB is previewing the 715 articulated dump truck (ADT) - a 9.3-tonne, two-axle truck that takes off-road hauling capabilities to a new level.

JCB is building on the launch of Europe’s first 12-tonne, Stage V, single-drum soil compactor last year, by unveiling a further two models competing in the 12-15 tonne sector. The highly efficient VM118D is joined by the larger VM128D and the VM138D, extending JCB’s leadership in this competitive area of the compaction market.

JCB, the world’s number one Backhoe Loader manufacturer, is once again driving the market forward, with the formal launch of the first production 3CX Hydrogen backhoe loader, a zero-emission solution for sustainability-focused construction businesses around the world.

JCB is a world leader in the use of hydrogen as a fuel source, having invested more than £100 million in its hydrogen engine technology in recent years. The company has produced a range of concept hydrogen-fuelled telescopic handlers and backhoe loaders and is now bringing to the power generation market its first hydrogen-fuelled generator.

Leading clean energy partnership HYKIT today announced the launch of a fully integrated, mobile hydrogen refuelling system designed to bring fast, reliable hydrogen infrastructure directly to site.

One of JCB’s DualDrive backhoe loaders is slashing the time spent on tasks for a Barnsley-based groundworks company.
