Dynamic Vehicle Testing

At Calibre, we do more than deliver vehicles - we help shape the next generation of commercial transport through specialist testing, development, and data collection services. Our experienced drivers and robust training pathways make us the go-to partner for manufacturers, operators, and technology innovators.

Supporting Our Customers

Specialist Track Permits & Proving Ground Expertise

After building experience with us, our most capable drivers are put forward for additional training to obtain track permits and specialist licences. This enables them to operate at major UK proving grounds, supporting our customers with the testing and development of new vehicles and cutting-edge technologies.

  •  Track Licences: Our team holds permits for top proving grounds, including UTAC and HORIBA MIRA.
  • Customer Collaboration: We work directly with OEMs, technology developers, certification agencies and proving grounds  at every stage of the testing process.
