WENDOVER, Utah (AP) — British driver Andy Green, the first person to break the sound barrier in a car, is returning to the Bonneville Salt Flats this week to attempt a new land speed record. Green previously set the record for a diesel-powered car at 350.092 mph twenty years ago.
This time, he will be driving the JCB Hydromax, a hydrogen-powered vehicle designed by the British construction equipment manufacturer JCB. The vehicle is notable for its bright yellow color and long, slim shape, resembling a pencil.
Green aims not only to achieve another record but also to promote hydrogen as a clean-energy alternative, which he describes as the "fuel of the future." His attempt is set to highlight the potential of hydrogen technology in the automotive industry.
突破音障的驾驶员在犹他州尝试新的陆地速度记录
犹他州温多弗（美联社）——英国驾驶员安迪·格林是第一个在汽车中突破音障的人，本周他将返回博内维尔盐滩，尝试新的陆地速度记录。格林在二十年前创造了350.092 mph的柴油动力汽车速度记录。
这次，他将驾驶一辆名为JCB Hydromax的氢动力车辆，这款车由英国建筑设备制造商JCB设计。该车辆以其明亮的黄色和长而纤细的形状而闻名，类似于铅笔。
格林的目标不仅是创造另一个记录，还希望推广氢作为清洁能源替代品，他称之为“未来的燃料”。他的尝试旨在突出氢技术在汽车行业中的潜力。
