Hibra Design

Hibra Design, founded by automotive engineering luminary Mike Keane, specialises in the development of innovative battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell solutions for industrial vehicles. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Keane asserts that high-performance supercars and heavy-duty industrial vehicles share numerous engineering similarities, particularly in their operational requirements for power and torque.

 

Drawing from his extensive background in engineering high-performance vehicles for esteemed brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Nissan, and the Williams F1 team, Keane brings a wealth of experience to Hibra Design. The company operates as an automotive development consultancy based in Cork, Ireland, catering to fleet operators of commercial and industrial vehicles seeking to reduce operational costs and improve environmental sustainability.

 

Hibra Design adopts a comprehensive approach to vehicle optimisation, commencing with meticulous data assessment of operational metrics such as fuel usage, distance covered, and running time. Leveraging this data-driven approach, the company identifies opportunities for zero-emission solutions, enabling clients to decarbonise their fleets effectively.

 

However, Hibra Design\’s services extend beyond mere data analytics, encompassing turn-key engineering solutions that involve reengineering existing vehicles from diesel-powered to clean-power alternatives. This holistic approach is tailored to the specific operational contexts of individual vehicles, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

 

Central to Hibra Design\’s ethos is the notion of being \”Operation-Specific, Vehicle-Agnostic,\” emphasising adaptability across a diverse range of commercial and industrial vehicle types. The company\’s modular and scalable power systems are designed to seamlessly integrate into various vehicle models, exemplified by ongoing projects such as terminal yard tractors, agricultural vehicles for wet conditions, and electric service vehicles for mobile retail applications.

 

Moreover, Hibra Design distinguishes itself as more than a provider of clean-emission power systems, functioning primarily as an automotive consultancy capable of addressing all facets of vehicle programs. This includes offering bespoke solutions tailored to clients\’ unique requirements, underscoring the company\’s commitment to delivering comprehensive automotive engineering services.

 

For businesses seeking customised solutions for their vehicles, Hibra Design provides a user-friendly platform via its website, www.hibra.ie, where clients can access detailed information and schedule complimentary consultations. Through its innovative approach to vehicle optimisation and commitment to sustainability, Hibra Design continues to redefine the landscape of industrial vehicle engineering.
