• MIRA Formerly the Motor Industry Research Association, MIRA was established in 1946 and is now one of Europe's largest independent automotive engineering service providers.
• MIRA Aerodynamics Since opening the first dedicated automotive wind tunnel MIRA has lead the field in ground vehicle aerodynamics. Today our aerodynamicists have a full suite of tools from wind tunnels to CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) at their disposal.
• MIRA Aerospace MIRA's Aerospace services include control system engineering, test rig design and build, component testing, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and materials engineering.
• MIRA Certification MIRA provides a wide range of European certification services for automotive and non-automotive products, as well as conducting tests which are accepted for national approvals in many countries worldwide.
• MIRA Defence Vehicle Engineering MIRA can operate as a straightforward test-house through to a prime contractor responsible for the design, development engineering and build of defence vehicles. With 30 major facilities, confidential, dedicated workshops and Subject Matter Expertise across the whole range of transport technologies MIRA delivers new products at minimal risk.
• MIRA EMC MIRA is the largest provider of independent Electromagnetic Compliance / Compatibility design, development and testing services in Europe.
• MIRA IDE IDE, Integrated Durability Engineering; brings together all the relevant engineering disciplines to ensure product designs are optimised for their durability performance, with the advantage that problems are found earlier in the design process, and changes made before investment in expensive tooling.
• MIRA Integrated Safety Engineering Integrated Safety Engineering is an approach covering all aspects of vehicle safety; preventing and avoiding accidents, reducing the severity of a collision when unavoidable and providing as much protection as possible to all involved.
• MIRA Motorsport MIRA Motorsport employs MIRA's automotive engineering specialists and facilities to enable teams from virtually all race formulae develop championship winning race cars.
• MIRA NVH MIRA's experts in Noise, Vibration and Harshness are responsible for the sound quality engineering on some of the most refined vehicles on the road today.
• MIRA Proving Ground MIRA has over 55 miles (80Km) of vehicle test tracks and surfaces. A comprehensive range of circuits and facilities enables our customers to carry out a wide range of tests in a controlled and secure environment, irrespective of vehicle type - motorcycles, cars, commercial, off highway and defence vehicles.
• MIRA QP MIRA QP is an environmental testing centre equipped with climatic (temperature, humidity), vibration, shock rigs and chambers, offering services from a simple component test through to Key Life Testing of complex systems.
• MIRA Vehicle Dynamics MIRA's Vehicle Dynamics team provide consultancy in design and development of vehicle ride and handling. From intitial concept, through steering, chassis and suspension design to vehicle sign-off our engineers have developed the driveability of many of the best-in-class vehicles available.
• RDCom MIRA's RDCom system allows you to collect data remotely from your products anywhere in the world. Whether you are tracking a prototype vehicle around a test track, monitoring a piece of remote machinery, tracking your fleet vehicles or looking for long term, real world usage data, RDCom will address your needs.
• UTMsim MIRA's UTMsimT underbonnet thermal management simulation process offers the real prospect of starting to tackle complex thermal management issues from much earlier in a vehicle programme.
• vAEROsim MIRA's vAEROsimT aerodynamics simulation process allows engineers to address a number of different areas of vehicle aerodynamics at a very early stage in the development process. These cover lift and drag reduction, aerodynamic stability, aero-acoustics, brake cooling and vehicle soiling.
