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 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
- The car was powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines with a combined 1,600 horsepower.
- This achievement set a new world record for hydrogen-powered vehicles, surpassing the previous record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph).
- Green is known for breaking the sound barrier in a car and has previously set land-speed records for both jet and diesel-powered vehicles.
- The event was witnessed by a few dozen JCB staff members and reporters.
British driver Andy Green has set a new world record for hydrogen-powered vehicles, reaching a speed of 406.320 mph (653.908 kph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. This record was achieved using a car powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines, which together produce 1,600 horsepower.
Green's latest achievement surpasses the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph (298.5 kph) and showcases the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source. The event was attended by a small group of JCB staff and reporters, who observed the record attempt from a distance.
The Bonneville Salt Flats, known for their low-friction surface, have been a popular site for speed records since 1914. Green's record attempt is part of a broader push in the automotive industry to explore hydrogen technology as a viable alternative to traditional fuels.
英国车手安迪·格林在氢动力汽车中创下新速度记录
英国车手安迪·格林在犹他州的博内维尔盐滩创下了氢动力车辆的新世界纪录，以406.320英里每小时（653.908公里每小时）的速度行驶。这一纪录是通过两台氢内燃机提供动力的汽车实现的，合计功率为1600马力。
格林的最新成就超过了之前185.5英里每小时（298.5公里每小时）的氢燃烧世界纪录，展示了氢作为清洁能源的潜力。此次活动有少数JCB员工和记者在场观看，他们从远处观察了这一纪录尝试。
博内维尔盐滩以其低摩擦表面而闻名，自1914年以来一直是速度记录的热门地点。格林的纪录尝试是汽车行业探索氢技术作为传统燃料可行替代品的更广泛努力的一部分。
