TRANSPORT Minister Mark Harper was shown the JCB Pothole Pro during a visit to the company’s Derbyshire engine plant and saw how the machine repairs a pothole in less than eight minutes – four times quicker than standard methods.
The demonstration came just days after the company announced it had won its biggest order for 50 Pothole Pros from Dawsongroup, for deployment with councils up and down the country.
Local authority data shows the JCB Pothole Pro can complete 700 potholes per month, with a 40km/h travel speed.
