JCB’s hydrogen combustion engine has been approved for use commercially in machines by 11 licensing authorities from across Europe.
The UK-based construction firm can now sell the engine throughout Europe and has said that they expect other countries to follow suit with certification in 2025.
The Netherlands’ vehicle authority RDW was the first to issue an official certification before licensing bodies in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Finland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein followed.
