Hydromax Breaks Bonneville Speed Bar With Hydrogen Power Ahead of FIA Bid

JCB’s Hydromax hydrogen-burning streamliner set a SCTA class record at Bonneville with a two-run average of 368.347 mph (367.141 mph first run, 369.554 mph second), fueled by twin 1,600 hp hydrogen internal-combustion engines. The result, a repeatable benchmark under SCTA rules, paves the way for an FIA-sanctioned world-record attempt while highlighting the heat and reliability challenges that must be managed under FIA restrictions.

Sound-barrier pioneer shifts to hydrogen for new Bonneville bid

Andy Green, the only person to break the sound barrier in a car, returns to the Bonneville Salt Flats with a hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax aiming to beat the 350.092 mph diesel land-speed record and set hydrogen and electric LSR marks; he recently reached 368 mph in practice, with the official FIA validation expected during the attempt. The project showcases hydrogen as a potential clean-energy option, though green hydrogen currently accounts for a small share of production, and safety remains a priority.
