Manufacturers spend huge amounts of money in developing their cars, traveling countless miles in all circumstances and subjecting cars to different climatic conditions for its durability over time. Many of these processes are done on an accelerated laboratory where the most extreme conditions also recreated. 2015 Ford is building in Cologne, Germany, the tunnel world’s most advanced climatic wind.
In this new facility Ford engineers can evaluate the latest brand vehicles in extreme conditions before going to market. In the new facility, which will be ready in the next few years, have two wind tunnels that can generate drafts of up to 250 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category five hurricane. Also can simulate altitudes up to 5200 meters, an altitude higher than 700 Tibetan Plateau, which is considered the roof of the world before the great peaks meters.

In his new lab, the Blue Oval may play with temperatures in the range of from -40 to 55 ° C, approaching the limits achieved since record. Moisture also may be set to between 10 and 95% to emulate conditions anywhere in the world.
The facility will have an area of 5,500 square meters and will serve to test the durability and the response of 2015 Ford models in all conditions. In recent months, 2015 Ford has shown us some of the evidence to submitting their vehicles, such as the American pick-up Ford F-150 or Ford Transit, a global van that will have to meet all requirements far and wide.
