Release date: 13 March 2007
The Royal Automobile Club today announced that it has awarded the prestigious Dewar Trophy to JCB. The award was made for the team led by JCB in the development of the JCB DIESELMAX vehicle which successfully challenged for the international land speed record for diesel vehicles in August 2006. As partner on the development of the JCB444-LSR engines which powered the JCB DIESELMAX into the record books with a speed of 350.092 mph, Ricardo is proud to have been a part of this team and congratulates JCB on its award

The Royal Automobile Club has presented the trophy on just 38 previous occasions since 1906 when the achievements have met the stringent standards required by the Dewar Trophy Committee. Previous winners include Rolls-Royce, Dunlop, Lucas and Jaguar. Ricardo was itself awarded the Trophy in 2002 for its work on the i-MoGen diesel hybrid demonstrator and again in 2005 for its work on the development of the advanced 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission of the Bugatti Veyron.
