You might remember
JCB as the construction equipment manufacturer attempting to set the
diesel land speed world with its oil-burning
Dieselmax H1, which just happened to make its
first run last weekend. Its other project is this Hummer-dwarfing off-roader called the HMUV, for High Mobility Utility Vehicle. JCB has recruited a team of professionals to design and sell the 6.7-liter HMUV, including former
Land Rover managing director Mathew Taylor who will head up sales and marketing for the HMUV. While not originally intended as a roadgoing vehicle, the HMUV could reportedly be sold to private owners using a commercial version of the 4.4-liter diesel engine being tested in the Dieselmax
H1. For
military use, however, the HMUV can be ordered either as a pickup or fully-enclosed people carrier.
