My son has just sent me this link to a video about JBC’s approach to powering their machinery in the future. They do not consider battery power to be a viable alternative to diesel power. It’s a very good video and discusses many of the problems associated with using hydrogen. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Their Hydromax car managed 406.32 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats recently.

In the broader scheme of things JCB are probably right, but here is a Caterpillar battery electric excavator in Oslo last week. They are mandatory in the city centre.
