from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Retired fighter pilot Andy Green just shattered the land speed record for hydrogen-powered cars, hitting 406.320 mph in his 32-foot Hydromax—blazing new benchmarks for hydrogen ICEs, fuel cells, and even electric vehicles. Powered by twin 800-horsepower engines running on clean hydrogen, this engineering marvel proves zero-emission tech can dominate at extreme speeds. Set on Bonneville Salt Flats, where Green previously broke the sound barrier in 1997, the feat earned official FIA recognition—and a powerful statement: hydrogen is ready to race at the top.
