Lord Bamford and his family join JCB Hydromax team to celebrate the new hydrogen world land speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Hydromax also thoroughly beat the 350.092 mph world diesel land speed record set by JCB Dieselmax — also driven by Green, on the same salt, in August 2006. JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford has led JCB’s hydrogen engine project and came up with the idea of a hydrogen world land speed record bid early last year. Andy Green said: “Bonneville is the spiritual home of the world land speed record, and JCB Hydromax has just written itself into that history. Setting a world land speed record with hydrogen power, twenty years after Dieselmax, is a huge privilege.
