Volvo invests in a new wind tunnel
Volvo has invested 20 million euros to improve the fuel-efficiency of its vehicles and reduce their environmental footprint. The Swedish manufacturer has replaced its aging, 22-year-old wind tunnel with a new one that simulates the air flow over and under the vehicle and uses metal belts that allow the wheels to turn as if they were actually on the road. In fact, it's the most advanced wind tunnel in the entire automobile industry.
