MIRA - the advanced engineering, research and test consultancy - will reveal new facilities dedicated to brake system development at EuroBrake (May 13 to 15, Lille, France), bringing a full suite of services to its global OEM customers.
The consultancy is expanding its brake engineering services with a new bespoke facility near Mojacar, Spain, to broaden its environmental testing capabilities. The service will add to MIRA's existing expertise in advanced development testing for braking systems, including the use of its bespoke proving ground in the UK and cold climate testing in Scandinavia.
With many years' experience running brake development programs in the region, the new facility near Mojacar gives MIRA a long-term presence in Spain. It is combined with MIRA's solid track record in delivering and implementing engineering solutions for a range of brake-related issues across all types of vehicle platforms for a host of global operators such as Jaguar Land Rover, NP Aerospace and the MOD.
Ahead of Eurobrake, MIRA's Chief Commercial and Technical Officer, Geoff Davis, said, "Having a new facility inSpain is the missing piece of the puzzle for the MIRA braking team, allowing us to offer OEMs a full suite of world class services. The Mojacar region's unique climate and varied terrain gives us multiple conditions to test systems and complements our proven track record in environmental testing and development of braking systems.
"In addition, this gives us further expansion into Europe and beyond, allowing us to continue to offer our global customers a comprehensive and high quality service. The facility will allow us to expand our customer focused durability testing programs into Europe, outside of the brake attribute area."
