Part of a newly inked deal with electrochemical technologies firm HORIBA MIRA, the effort will also see the development of a new state-of-the-art 240m2 test facility at HORBIA’s headquarters, along with testing infrastructure.

Having already supplied its fuel cells to the likes of Bosch, Weichai, Doosan and Muira, Ceres is now eager to have its innovations utilised across the power generation, transportation, industry and data centre sectors as a means of decarbonisation.

Mark Garrett, Chief Operating Officer at Ceres, said, “This partnership has many advantages, significant investment in the UK, the enablement of a state-of-the-art test facility to maintain Ceres’ technology leadership and support for our rapidly growing global partner base.

“We look forward to establishing a long-term partnership with HORIBA MIRA.”

Graeme Steward, Chief Technology Officer at HORIBA MIRA, added, “We are delighted that Ceres has selected and invested in us as the optimum partner to manage a large-scale testing programme for their fuel cell technology.

“Not only is Ceres’ clean energy market proposition vital for carbon reduction, but this agreement also recognises how our testing-as-a-service offer allows clients to focus on their core business with the confidence that essential testing and validation work is in highly competent hands.”
