64岁的英国退役皇家空军飞行员Andy Green驾驶由JCB公司制造的氢动力汽车，在犹他州Bonneville Salt Flats创造了氢动力汽车类别的陆地速度纪录[1]。这辆装备两台氢内燃机、总功率1,600马力的车辆在周二的创纪录跑步中达到406.320英里/小时（653.908公里/小时）[1]。
这一成就远超前氢燃烧世界纪录185.5英里/小时（298.5公里/小时）[1]。此次创纪录行动旨在展示氢能在汽车动力领域的应用潜力[1]。Green此前已多次创造陆地速度纪录，包括1997年创造的总陆地速度纪录763.035英里/小时（喷气动力）和2006年创造的柴油动力汽车纪录350.092英里/小时[1]。
British racing driver Andy Green has established a new world speed record for hydrogen-powered cars, achieving 406.320 miles per hour (653.908 kilometers per hour) on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah [1]. The 64-year-old retired Royal Air Force pilot, driving a hydrogen-fueled vehicle manufactured by JCB, significantly exceeded the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 miles per hour [1].
The hydrogen-powered car is equipped with two hydrogen internal combustion engines producing a combined 1,600 horsepower [1]. This achievement demonstrates the potential of hydrogen energy as a viable power source for automotive applications [1]. Located approximately 100 miles west of Salt Lake City, the Bonneville Salt Flats provided the ideal conditions for the record-breaking run, which took place on Tuesday [1].
Green brings considerable experience to land speed racing, having set the overall land speed record of 763.035 miles per hour using jet propulsion in 1997 and a diesel-powered vehicle record of 350.092 miles per hour in 2006 [1].
