A vast salt pan in Utah, US; a public land site and historic speed-record venue
Andy Green has reached 406.320 mph in JCB’s Hydromax at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, setting a Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile‑certified record for hydrogen internal combustion cars. The 64‑year‑old former RAF pilot drove a 32ft vehicle powered by two hydrogen engines producing 1,600 horsepower. JCB is using the result to promote hydrogen for heavy industry.
