A FORMIDABLE PEDIGREE

THE SUCCESS OF JCB - FROM ITS

HUMBLE START IN 1945 TO TODAYS
WORLD LEADING MANUFACTURER OF
CONSTRUCTION, AGRICULTURAL AND
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT IS A BLUEPRINT
IN INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING.

JCB is, and always will be, a family business. Founder,

Joseph Cyril Bamford and Chairman, Lord Bamford,
made and make big investment decisions quickly
which has enabled the business to become a global
force in manufacturing whilst fostering a culture
of innovation. From the iconic backhoe loader
pioneered and refined by JCB, to the telescopic
handler, the Fastrac tractor, the single arm skid steer
loader and the unique forwards reach industrial fork
lift; the company is different by design. The culture of
investment in products has been more than matched by
JCBs forward thinking approach to global manufacturing.

Today there are 22 production plants

on four continents supplying machinery
to every corner of the world. In 2013 JCB
celebrated the production of the 1,000,000th
machine; a JS excavator destined for export.
The JCB ethos for success has influenced
the vision and strategy for engine design and
manufacture. A vision that began in the 1970s
with prototype production of 4 and 6 cylinder
models and culminated in 2004 with the launch of
its purpose- designed Off-Highway Diesel Engine
an engine that broke the boundaries of innovation.

WORLD BEATING INNOVATION

THE FASTEST DIESEL

IN THE WORLD...

A triumph for British engineering excellence and teamwork.

Imagine owning a machine with an engine that has
broken all diesel records for speed? With the JCB
Dieselmax engine thats exactly what you get.
In what can only be described as a stroke of
engineering genius, back in 2006, a streamlined
diesel vehicle was commissioned by JCBs owner,
Lord Bamford, to attempt to set a new diesel land
speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA.
The JCB Dieselmax, with two JCB 444 LSR
engines, succeeded on its first attempt in August

of that year with a stunning speed of 350.092mph

(563.418kph) to clinch the record.
The record attempt, designed to showcase
the extreme performance capability of the JCB
engine, was a triumph. With twice the power
and more than four times the weight of an F1
car, the Dieselmax had only half the fuel
consumption. And therein lies the huge success
of all JCB engines designed for maximum
performance with the best possible fuel efficiency.

WORLDS 1ST NO DPF SOLUTION

When it came to designing and building an engine

to meet Stage IIIB/Tier 4i emissions legislation,
JCB Power Systems took the challenge and turned
it into an opportunity.
Rather than bolting-on costly and cumbersome
after-treatment devices the company turned
accepted thinking on its head and focused on
designing a combustion system to prevent the
creation of pollutants rather than cure them in
the tailpipe.
The strategy was bold; the result was an industry first
with the ground-breaking JCB EcoMAX. Featuring
a high efficiency advanced combustion system that
not only produces very low in-cylinder emissions, but
also results in incredibly low fuel consumption; offering
reductions of up to 10% over Stage IIIA/Tier 3.

JCB Power Systems Director of Engine Programmes, Alan Tolley, receives an award for Diesel of the Year.

With the use of a cooled EGR, a common rail

system operating up to 2000 bar, variable geometry
turbocharger and careful matching of fuel and air
handling systems through the calibration this engine
needs no DPF; a solution without compromise!

TIER 4 ONE-CAN SOLUTION.

The JCB DIESELMAX team, including driver Andy Green, celebrate their 350.092mph (563.418kph) world record at Bonneville Salt Flats.

JCB POWER SYSTEMS

The JCB EcoMAX Stage IV/Tier 4, 68-129kW

(91-173hp) has an innovative one-can solution.
A compact, highly efficient SCR system that
requires no additional DPF or DOC, offers a
compact installation that negates the need for bulky
alterations to machine bodywork. Using between
2-3% of diesel exhaust fluid (Adblue) to fuel ratio,
coupled with a further reduction in fuel consumption

of up to 5% over its Stage IIIB/Tier 4i predecessor,

this new engine delivers on its low cost of
ownership promise. There is no compromise
to engine performance and the engine maintains
the same footprint all the way from its Stage II/
Tier 2 roots eliminating the need for major
product re-design and reducing complexity
in chassis manufacturing.

MOSA specifies JCB engines because they offer
lower fuel consumption, lower noise, more reliability
and excellent service.

EUGENIO RONCORONI,
SALES MANAGER

We considered the JCB engines when they were

launched because the power to size ratio was
particularly good. The JCB 4 litre engines have the
same power as some 6 litre engines and offer better
fuel efficiency, which is also a key selling point for
us. Weve had a really good reaction from our
customers over the course of the 7 years that
weve been using JCB engines.

SIMON RUFFLES,
GENERAL MANAGER,
PIONEER PUMPS

The fuel consumption is so much better than the

last engine. It takes around 38 litres now for a round
trip rather than 45 so effectively Im saving 50.00
per catch. The engine is also so much cleaner than
my previous 20 year old unit. Not only has it given
my old boat a new lease of life its also good from
an environmental perspective and, as fisherman,
we are always keen to protect our waters.
