Life in the old ICE yet

JCB has done some amazing work on the hydrogen internal combustion engine, as batteries simply do not perform well enough to be viable in its hard-worked larger machines.

Former evo man Harry Metcalfe has made an excellent video with Lord Bamford on the subject, and two key points stood out for me:

1) The hydrogen ICE avoids the inflationary costs of batteries.

2) The hydrogen ICE sounds more like a petrol engine.

Cheaper, lighter, no charging-time worries; infrastructure and transport very similar to current LPG.

We’re saved.

Now Ferrari just needs to make a hydrogen ICE that sounds like a F355.
