Capability Statement

Working with customers from all around the world we are able to deliver all types of crash testing and supporting services to meet and certify to Euro NCAP, European, US and other worldwide safety standards. Benefiting from continual investment in the very latest equipment, HORIBA MIRA’s crash lab provides state of the art services to help develop a vehicle’s safety performance to the very highest standards. Within the lab, we have a number of unique and valued facilities. Alongside the latest off-board and onboard high-speed camera technology are two load cell walls including a microcell full frontal crash wall. An extensive transparent pit area measuring 5m x 7m x 4m deep lies beneath the impact area allowing for full vehicle underside filming, and a new fuel leakage roll-over rig permits even the largest M category passenger vehicles to be tested. We also have a unique capability to perform non-destructive roll-over testing to aid side occupant airbag development to mitigate occupant ejection.
