UK – The T&BB team attended the 2023 Cenex event at the UTAC Millbrook proving ground in Northamptonshire, UK. The exhibition, which took place from the 6^th to the 7^th of September, attracted over 150 exhibitors involved in low-carbon mobility. The exhibition had a small collection of companies dedicated to the commercial vehicle market sector. The owners of the Millbrook Proving Ground where Cenex was held had some news of their own in the CV segment to share.

The UTAC Group, a provider of testing services for the automotive industry based in Linas, France, told T&BB it has recently opened a new site near Casablanca in Morocco for hot weather vehicle testing. The new test centre in Oued Zem, which is jointly operated with engineering consultancy, the FEV Group, complements two cold weather sites in Finland, north of the Arctic Circle. The test tracks at the Moroccan site are 30 kilometres in length altogether. Together with customer workshops, the amenities at the new facility allow for testing parameters such as speed, durability, reliability, offroad, hill climbing, braking, and acoustics in the hot North African weather.
