Vehicle testing: HBM moves to new testing facility 

HBM, a leader in the field of test and measurement, has relocated to Millbrook Proving Ground, Europe’s leading facility for vehicle testing.

Bringing sales, marketing and product development together under one roof, the state of the art research facility also provides training facilities, which will enable HBM to provide even higher levels of customer service, while continuing to build on its leading position in test and measurement.



Set in the Bedfordshire countryside, Millbrook is an ideal location, just off the M1, Junction 13.

Contained within a site with more than 40 miles of varied test track, including hill routes, high speed areas and challenging off road courses, Millbrook has a range of test facilities for components and full vehicles.

These include engine dynamometers, environmental chambers, crash laboratories, battery test facilities and advanced emissions chassis dynamometers.

Home to an increasing number of innovative companies who benefit from access to Millbrook’s testing facilities and expertise, HBM is delighted to be a part of the UK’s vehicle technology cluster and looks forward to its continued growth and development plans.

HBM is part of the Test and Measurement business segment of Spectris PLC, which is a leading supplier of measuring instruments and controls for industrial applications.
