Renaissance era: Named after the pioneering French author, the Jules Verne climatic wind tunnel in Nantes has been transformed into one of the world's most sophisticated test facilities of its kind

摘要

The Jules Verne climatic wind tunnel in Nantes, France, has been relaunched following an {EUR}8.5m (US$9.5m) modernization program co-financed by public funds from the Pays de la Loire and the European Regional Development Fund. Designed to help the facility meet the latest challenges in the automotive industry and beyond, the project took more than a year to complete and includes the installation of a four-wheel-drive dynamometer, a control room and improved preparation areas.
