  • The JCB Dieselmax Is to Receive Prestigious Heritage Award
    The JCB Dieselmax is to receive prestigious heritage award The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (ImechE) has awarded its coveted Engineering Heritage Award (EHA) to the JCB Dieselmax engine that powered the world’s fastest diesel car. The Dieselmax broke the diesel land speed record on 23 August 2006 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA finally reaching a speed of 350.092mph. The engine is currently on display at the Anson Engine Museum, Poynton, Cheshire. A plaque denoting the award is to be unveiled at a special presentation ceremony in October. The IMechE, which has Her Majesty The Queen as its patron, launched the EHA (formerly the EHHS) in 1984 to recognise landmark developments in mechanical engineering and to raise the profile of the profession. Awards are not often made and there is a very stringent criteria applying to submissions. Previous examples of items that have received the award include the Thames Barrier, the Harrier jump jet, the Rolls Royce RB211 engine, the invention of the FloatGlass process at Pilkington Glass and the original Gardner 4L2 engine that is on display at the Anson Engine Museum. In the case of the JCB Dieselmax, the suggestion was first put to the local Branch earlier this year while the engine was on display at the museum as part of the Diesel Exhibition, the idea received an encouraging response. There followed a detailed evaluation by the judging panel in London. Notification of the award has just been received and arrangements are now underway to make the official ceremony in October a truly memorable event in the history of the Anson Engine Museum.
