JCB donates equipment to European flood disaster

JCB has donated two 3CX backhoe loaders to aid with clear-up operations in Serbia and Bosnia after the region’s worst ever floods.

More than 3,000 landslides have hit the region, burying houses and roads.

The first machine was handed over by JCB’s dealer in Bosnia, Terra BIH, with the support of the British Embassy at the dealer’s premises in Sarajevo.

Terra BIH is also providing training for operators as well as service support for the machines in the field.

In Serbia, a second JCB machine will be made available by dealer Terra Serbia and put to immediate use by the Serbian Emergency Relief Committee.
