British driver Andy Green set a new hydrogen-powered land speed record of 406 mph (654 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, piloting JCB's Hydromax with two hydrogen engines; the run doubles the previous hydrogen combustion record and adds to Green's history as the first person to break the sound barrier on land with ThrustSSC in 1997.
Britain’s Andy Green, the only person to break the sound barrier in a car, returns to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats with the hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax to chase new land-speed records, aiming to beat the diesel record of 350.092 mph and set hydrogen and electric-vehicle marks; he has reached 368.347 mph in practice, but official records require FIA verification, while hydrogen’s appeal depends on how the fuel is produced and safety considerations.
