UK – In 2015, MIRA was bought by the HORIBA Group, based in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. As Horiba celebrates its 70^th anniversary, T&BB caught up with Tom Moakes, Senior Technical Sales Lead of Propulsion and Electromobility at the latest edition of Cenex (2024) held at the UTAC Millbrook proving ground in Bedfordshire, UK (4-5 September). Moakes informed us that the Mira Technology (MTP) Park in Nuneaton is close to rolling out its hydrogen refuelling capabilities, producing its own green hydrogen on-site, which refers to hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or hydropower, making it a zero-emission fuel. The original 2021 plan, set out to develop a green refuelling forecourt providing hydrogen onsite at MTP, expanding Horiba MIRA’s testing-as-a-service to support next-gen mobility companies. The onsite generation using power generated from a solar farm is set to supply MTP with around 300kg of green hydrogen daily.

MTP currently houses over 35 global companies in the zero-carbon mobility sector, with many seeking to incorporate a green hydrogen solution into their product range. New tenants include REE Automotive Ltd and Viritech Ltd, with the latter exclusively focused on the development of hydrogen technologies.
