The engine will be a centrepiece of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Show Society's Presidential Solutions Hub highlighting cutting-edge solutions being developed to help meet Net Zero climate targets. A team of 150 engineers has been working on the £100 million JCB hydrogen engine project for nearly four years, and has produced a power unit that matches the performance characteristics of the company's DieselMAX engine used in JCB's iconic backhoe loaders, Loadall telehandlers and other JCB equipment.

Moreover, some key legislative hurdles have been cleared this year; in January, JCB confirmed that a number of vehicle licensing authorities across Europe have certified the hydrogen-fuelled engine for sale, with others set to follow suit. In April, the UK government paved the way for a change in road vehicle regulations allowing hydrogen-fuelled agricultural and construction machinery to use public highways, and in May the engine received full EU type-approval, allowing its use in JCB and other OEM off-highway machinery as it complies with EU Stage V emissions rules. George Lyon, President of the Royal Highland society, said: 'Over the past year, the RHASS Presidency has been promoting new, innovative solutions that farmers can use to meet the challenge of Net Zero. We are delighted that JCB are contributing to the Solutions Hub at the show with their new hydrogen engine, which represents an opportunity to switch to a 'green' fuel while retaining familiar combustion engine technology.'
