Hi Harry greetings from Thailand happy new year interesting as usual both you channels what's happening with the cagiva government gone man glad i left uk weeks ahead of covid and never been back since

Harry, did you have your T shirt on back to front?

Just watching Countryfile discussing Black Grass infestation because treatment failed due to weather. Can't help thinking this down to lack of ploughing which surely would help bury the grass seeds deeper and help with drainage.

Will we have such things as farms after the liebour regime had done with this country.

Net zero will be dead in the water with a year. This nonsense has run its course.

I like looking back to problems and successes we had years ago

This is not the way forward neither is this EV crap

These are great for going to the shops on Saturday afternoon, or your local Starbucks drive thru.

5:16 That's amazing they show the price. Usually, they hide that. That being said, that's the equivalent of $28/gal for diesel. In the end, that's going to be the challenging part, not making hydrogen engines. We've been able to do that forever. Making hydrogen remotely close to the price of diesel is the real challenge, not making engines or fuel cells. In the US, the average is $33/kg.

2:19 "this is a drone shot" That's the first time I've heard that expression rather than a birds-eye view.

You can't reason with fools

What is the likelihood that it hydrogen is going to in pick ups in say 5yrs time

needs a pickup

So how many Kw’s of electricity does it take to make 1kw of hydrogen?

Climate con UK please pack it in and get back to reality.

You hit the nail on the head Harry when you mentioned corporate entities swooping in and buying up huge swathes of land for housing, warehouses, or solar farms. This is what it’s all about and this is EXACTLY what the government want to happen. They’re not interested in you, or me, or anyone - except the corporations, and foreign interests. This is just a means to an end. It’ll look good for our environmental credentials to build a “green” warehouse or solar farm or overpriced houses to “help” with the housing crisis (it won’t). Farms according to them, are dirty, disgusting, polluting things. To hell with food security.

Watch you don't have a fire on your hands.

I just don't get the point of the Grenadier and as I suspected, I only see them being driven around towns as some sort of weird flex. Fields up and down the country continue to be filled with Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi L200's. If the purpose was the 'ultimate' offroader, then again, it doesn't do that either. A pinzgauer or Unimog will thrash it hands down. I don't know, just not for me. Very expensive and I just can't see the point and lets face it, its never going to replace the defender in peoples hearts.

The same people who love the old defender are the same kind of people I'm guessing who like the old Original early VW campus. Much more likely to be shallow interested in aesthetics rather than quality and reliability. similar to someone who focuses on someone's outward beauty prioritising that versus in air qualities

Japan has said only hydrogen can replace fossil fuel in industry. They are going to a hydrogen society, hence Toyota being cool on EVs. They will make hydrogen cheaply from high temperature nitrogen cooled nuclear reactors. They one up and running right now.

Energy is cheap and avaliable (it's costly because of taxation) - data are the new gold. (Internal combustion - what ever fuels choosen - doesn't provide about the new fine gold enough?)

Why would you want all that crap on a work vehicle ? Gentlemen “farmers” only 👍

I struggle with this. I mean good luck to JCB, but I think the market is heading to BEVs due to lower costs and maintenance.

Hydrogen isn’t going to happen, just not viable. Battery technology is racing ahead and costs are plummeting.

I can see Lord Bamford’s desire. However, in U.K. we have 68 million people and are already facing a shortage of water for much of the year. So under those circumstances you cannot use ground water or fossil water the latter not being replaceable. Can you make the H2 from sea water of which we have reserves? Secondly, there are already restriction on transport high pressure gases as with O2 etc. Here we are talking of 360 to 700 bar so roughly 5000 to 10,000 psi. Imagine,a vehicle crash with such a risk. You would not allow such a risk in an urban environment with large numbers of people present as it transcends all current risk assessments. The technology is quite apparent but the actual applicability more limited until the above points are resolved.

I have had Land Rover's since 1984, 6 weeks after passing my test, I use them to go on astronomy adventures, taking telescopes etc up mountains around Europe and Morocco, so I was very intrigued and have watched the development of the Grenadier - a couple of years back, at the Chris Evans Car Show South, I got to lok at one up close - and was a little dissapointed - At 6ft 4" and 21st (Yes, I know, I need to lose about 3 stone) I am a big guy - since they introduced Discoveries I have bought them as driving 109s and then Defenders was awkward due to being crampted - sadly, I ofund the Grenadier had the same issue, just in different ways - I was not really able to sit confortably in it, and forget getting in the rear - less leg space that a fiat Panda. I know I sat in a pre-production model, so my experience may not be correct for the production model - but I am going to arrange a test drive of one and see how it is....I wonder if anyone makes a top for the Quartermaster yet?

Hello Harry, I find your channel fantastic. I have questions relating to the nutritional value of vegetables today compared to 50 years ago. Do they offer the same nutrition for the same amount consumed.

If you have to buy the batteries from someone else then maybe it makes sense to go the hydrogen route, even if it is less efficient.

Put portal axles on it, make it an extra cab to increase tray size and this thing makes way more sense than most rugged 4WDs out there.

So, 10 kg of hydrogen in the tanks of the tractor. With the inefficiencies of a combustion engine that comes out to about 150 kWh usable power which would be perfectly possible with a battery. Tractors don't mind a bit of weight, a bit of ballast is good in a tractor/digger for stability. The loader with the forks could also use a bit of ballast/counter weight.

What ever happened to JCBs tax investigation? Do bamfords still owe HMRC a shitload of money?

Great video thanks Harry.

Absolute insanity. Wow. Thanks for the info, great video 👍

Maybe next time compare the price of the commercial hilux to the commercial ineos, difference in price is more than 10k

I could watch an hour special of Harry with Lord Bamford, such a delight

Nut Zero is not going to be something sensible to associate yourself with soon. Thank goodness. This is all insane !

16:34 sounds fantastic! Nice turbo wine too!

Oh, dear!! Educate yourselves! Read: planetforlife.com/h2/index.html

JCB do well in selling to Isrl. how well will they work there?

my greatest concern is mixing dependency on water - water is actually needed for humans to continue living, mixing that critical dependency to add a dependency for fuel seems to be create an inevitable actual problem

Brilliant informative video. One dollar a kilo be great. I wouldn't tell Rachel Reeves though because there will be a wack of tax at that price.

What do people think that use these type of vehicles about the government taxing them has a car for benefit in kind from April 2025 the will kill there pickup market in the UK

Seems to be very expensive to store it and if it was the fuel of the future why isn't everyone onboard.

I ran the numbers. If it costs £1,850 to fuel up your JCB Tractor with H2 every week. How is that financially viable for a farm?

Great job!

Interesting!

I want hydrogen to be the way forward. Only thing holding it back is generating the electricity but when people want renewable energy projects get shut down by green people who have no alternative solutions l. But I admire JCB for this as most building sites and farms have onsite fueling. I’ve worked with a few transport companies and its policy to fill up after every shift so could also work that way

I would love to see a JCB hydrogen car, all it has to be is a fiesta-like shopping trolley, nothing special. Leccy windows, heating/cooling system, windscreen wipers, headlights, things the MOT requires...

Burning hydrogen in an ICE isn't emissions free

So solar is touted here as the source of energy to make the hydrogen to power the machines to do the work eh? This beggars belief.
