The JCB Hydromax is a spectacular hydrogen-powered streamliner designed to push the boundaries of land speed technology. Powered by two engines producing a combined 1600 horsepower, this extraordinary machine has been developed by JCB to chase record-breaking speeds using hydrogen fuel. With legendary land speed record driver Andy Green OBE, the same driver who piloted Thrust SSC to 763 mph, behind the wheel, the Hydromax has surpassed 400 mph and claimed a new world land speed record as the fastest hydrogen-powered vehicle of any kind.

The JCB Hydromax represents a remarkable combination of hydrogen technology, high-speed engineering and extreme aerodynamics. Its twin-engine powertrain, streamlined body and purpose-built design demonstrate the engineering required to develop a vehicle capable of reaching extraordinary speeds. The project also brings together JCB’s engineering expertise and Andy Green’s land speed record experience, creating one of the most ambitious hydrogen-powered vehicles ever developed.
