Markets : Off Highway

With such heavy-duty workloads of these vehicle types it is vital that they undergo robust engineering to ensure the products are safe and durable in their operating environment. MIRA has the expertise and facilities to develop even the largest of such products. EMC labs; climatic wind tunnels; structural/safety testing facilities; an extensive proving ground; a suite of high-end computer simulation tools; and much more; are all at the fingertips of our specialist engineering teams. Whatever the challenge they have the experience and facilities tomeet your requirements.
