Britain's Andy Green sets another speed record, this time in a hydrogen-powered car
- British driver Andy Green reached a speed of 406.320 mph (653.908 kph) in a hydrogen-powered car.
- The record was set at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, using two hydrogen internal combustion engines.
- Green's vehicle was engineered by British construction equipment manufacturer JCB and had a combined 1,600 horsepower.
- This new record surpasses the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph).
- Green aims to showcase hydrogen power as a viable alternative for clean energy in heavy industries.
British driver Andy Green has set a new world record for speed in a hydrogen-powered car, reaching 406.320 mph (653.908 kph). The record was achieved at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where Green utilized two hydrogen internal combustion engines that produced a combined 1,600 horsepower.
The vehicle, engineered by British construction equipment manufacturer JCB, surpassed the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph). Green's achievement highlights the potential of hydrogen power as a clean energy source for heavy industries.
Green, a retired Royal Air Force pilot, has a history of speed records, including breaking the sound barrier in 1997 with a jet-powered vehicle. His latest feat aims to promote hydrogen as a viable alternative to traditional fuels, although the cost of hydrogen production remains a barrier to wider adoption.
英国车手安迪·格林在氢动力汽车上创造新速度纪录
英国车手安迪·格林在氢动力汽车上创造了新的速度世界纪录，达到了406.320英里每小时（653.908公里每小时）。这一纪录是在犹他州的博内维尔盐滩上创造的，格林使用了两台氢内燃机，综合马力为1600匹。
这辆由英国建筑设备制造商JCB设计的车辆超过了之前185.5英里每小时（298.5公里每小时）的氢燃烧世界纪录。格林的成就突显了氢能作为重工业清洁能源的潜力。
格林是一名退役的皇家空军飞行员，曾在1997年以喷气动力车辆打破音障。他的最新成就旨在推广氢能作为传统燃料的可行替代方案，尽管氢生产的成本仍然是更广泛采用的障碍。
