The innovative machine is capable of delivering big machine performance for the most confined job sites. Designed to meet the needs of modern construction purpose, it is the perfect machine for road resurfacers and repair contractors, utilities, groundworkers and municipalities working in congested urban construction projects.

JCB’s Head of Sponsorship Edd Hood said: “JCB is excited to partner with The Confused.com London Motor Show and is thrilled that the 'Built in Britain' area will now officially be known as 'Built in Britain by JCB'.
