From the 1920s to the 60s, Bamfords of Uttoxeter produced industrial engines, largely for use in agriculture. In the 70s we worked on engine prototypes, developing 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder models. Then, over the last 20 years, JCB instigated a project to develop the perfect engine.
For decades, the global construction industry has waited for us to produce the JCB diesel engine. After all, we make some of the world’s leading construction equipment. So we have used our expertise and experience to build the only engine designed specifically for off-highway use.
The name to trust
The JCB name is renowned throughout the world for world-class quality. Our products are designed and built for hard work and reliability, using only the most advanced technology and techniques that we know keep us consistently ahead of the competition.
We wouldn’t put these engines in our own machines if they didn’t exceed our expectations at every turn. So we have no hesitation in recommending them for a whole host of other machines and applications, including:
Off-highway mobile and stationary: earth moving, materials handling, agricultural equipment, generators, water pumps, screening equipment, air compressors, recycling equipment, hydraulic power packs, commercial vehicle auxilary engines and irrigation equipment.
Whatever you use it for, the JCB engine is designed to give you the performance your business relies on day in, day out.
