Technology and Innovation

At JCB, we have always been proud of our entrepreneurial spirit. It’s what drives us to develop and implement new technology and industry-changing machines. We listen to our customers to understand their needs. We then apply our expertise to develop machines that help make them more productive, more efficient and more successful. Why? Because our business is based on making the lives of our customers easier.

We also take our forward-thinking mindset into how we produce some of the best equipment on the market. By adopting the latest manufacturing processes and the most intense development standards, we ensure every JCB that rolls off our line is ready to take on any job.

To test our machines, we come up with some rather unorthodox ways of proving them. From building the world’s fastest diesel-powered car to coordinating the famous Dancing Diggers, we put our technology to the test for the world to see.

JCB GT JCB GT
Developed as a showpiece of JCB’s advanced engineering and foresight, the JCB GT is a backhoe loader capable of reaching 100 mph. Built with a high-output V8 engine, it can be seen ripping down drag strips around the country.
JCB Dancing Diggers JCB Dancing Diggers
To demonstrate the versatility and strength of our backhoe loaders, we started our display team – the JCB Dancing Diggers. These backhoes can be seen touring the country and at special JCB events demonstrating the unusual ways our backhoes can support themselves and the maneuverability we’re known for.
HMEE HMEE
At JCB, we put our innovative thinking to work for the men and women who serve our country. The High Mobility Engineer Excavator (HMEE) is the latest addition to our high-mobility range of military products. Designed using key innovations found in a number of our consumer products, the JCB HMEE combines speed, versatility and brute strength to answer the call of duty.

Dieselmax Dieselmax
On August 23, 2006, JCB proved their newly developed diesel engine in the most extreme way – setting the world speed record for a diesel-powered car. The JCB DIESELMAX, the first record-breaking car to be designed entirely by computer, is powered by two JCB444 diesel power plants that took it to a speed of 350.092 mph.

Dieselmax Engine Dieselmax Engine
When we set out to build our first engine we did it the only way know how – by putting our all into it. At our purpose-built, state-of-the-art factory, we worked with some of the world’s leading components and equipment suppliers to ensure our engines use only the most advanced, proven technology available. Then we spent over 100,000 rigorous hours testing it. Once we were certain it’d be bulletproof, we went into mass production.
