With the JCB (563.418kph) to clinch the record. designing a combustion system to prevent the Dieselmax engine that’s exactly what you get. The record attempt, designed to showcase creation of pollutants rather than cure them in In what can only be described as a stroke of the extreme performance capability of the JCB the tailpipe. engineering genius, back in 2006, a streamlined engine, was a triumph. With twice the power JCB Power Systems Director of Engine Programmes, Alan Tolley, receives an award for Diesel of the Year. diesel vehicle was commissioned by JCB’s owner, The strategy was bold; the result was an industry first and more than four times the weight of an F1 Lord Bamford, to attempt to set a new diesel land with the ground-breaking JCB EcoMAX. Featuring With the use of a cooled EGR, a common rail car, the Dieselmax had only half the fuel speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA. a high efficiency advanced combustion system that system operating up to 2000 bar, variable geometry consumption. And therein lies the huge success not only produces very low in-cylinder emissions, but turbocharger and careful matching of fuel and air The JCB Dieselmax, with two JCB 444 LSR of all JCB engines – designed for maximum also results in incredibly low fuel consumption; offering handling systems through the calibration this engine engines, succeeded on its first attempt in August performance with the best possible fuel efficiency. reductions of up to 10% over EU Stage IIIA/EPA Tier 3. needs no DPF; a solution without compromise!
