JCB has showcased its latest development in evaluating hydrogen as a future fuel with the unveiling of the G60RS H hydrogen generator at the Hillhead exhibition in the UK. This innovative concept is powered by a hydrogen combustion engine, ensuring zero-emissions while delivering comparable power, performance, and efficiency to traditional diesel models. The company views this generator as a pivotal step towards achieving zero carbon worksites and envisions its integration with the Powerpack to establish on-site microgrids. By combining hydrogen and battery-electric technologies, JCB aims to provide clean power solutions for various applications on construction sites, from lighting towers to welfare units. Tim Burnhope, the group director of special projects, highlighted the importance of hydrogen generators in facilitating the transition towards sustainable energy practices, especially in industries where diesel power has been predominant due to grid limitations. The positive sentiment towards this hydrogen innovation signifies a growing trend towards embracing clean technology and meeting net zero goals in the construction sector.
