On March 27th, Great Wall Motors CEO, Mu Feng, announced today that Great Wall Motors has always been criticized for not focusing on marketing, with many technologies being kept hidden. Today, we will showcase our technical strength to everyone.

When users choose a car, they pay attention to aerodynamics and NVH performance. These two aspects have a significant impact on the economy and comfort of the vehicle. Car manufacturers need to use aerodynamic-acoustic wind tunnel laboratories when developing vehicles.

Therefore, Great Wall Motors is about to build its first self-owned aerodynamic-acoustic wind tunnel laboratory for its independent brands, which can provide more extreme aerodynamics and NVH performance for various vehicle models. s_439dd2fc54bb401ea16ca9821c9ddedd.png According to Great Wall, the wind tunnel can reach a maximum wind speed of 300 km/h, nearly three times faster than a Category 12 typhoon. It boasts performance unmatched domestically, meeting the aerodynamic testing needs of high-performance vehicles.

Moreover, the wind tunnel features a single/five-belt switchable balance system. The single-belt balance meets the aerodynamic testing requirements of racing cars and sports cars, while the five-belt balance caters to testing needs for sedans, SUVs, MPVs, pickups, and other vehicle models.

It also possesses industry-leading measurement accuracy, effortlessly detecting weight changes equivalent to a coin's weight.

From establishing China's first independent automobile brand environmental wind tunnel laboratory in 2015 to the current aerodynamic-acoustic wind tunnel laboratory, Great Wall Motors has filled the technological gap for Chinese independent brands. s_86a7fb8bdb3644b4b8b63fb594c60b56.jpg
