Testing : Emissions

MIRA has more than thirty years of experience in exhaust emissions work. This experience allows us to help our customers find engineering solutions to meet the increasing pressure from governments and the public to control the impact of automotive pollution on the environment.

With the first truly independent emissions laboratory, MIRA's exhaust emissions services use the latest-technology HORIBA systems to meet customers' changing needs.

Moreover, our ambient and climatic test capabilities accommodate both current and future requirements for test, development and certification work.
