This is Ford’s all “Weather Factory” Test Centre that allows engineers to choose all the world’s weather under one roof and at any time of the day.

It's a facility in cologne Germany, where test will be carried on all upcoming vehicles in the most demanding conditions from around the world.

At the push of a button, Engineers will be able to recreate the most extreme weather conditions including intense snow seen , dazzling sun that is found in Africa , torrential rain and gusts of wind up to 250 km / h.







It will simulate altitudes of 5,200 metres, extremes temperature of -40°C, the average winter temperature in eastern Siberia, to +55° C as well as 95 per cent humidity.

Engineers will be able to work on 10 different cars at a time for testing comfort, safety and operational capabilities including electrical performance, braking, air conditioning and pulling heavy loads.

The football pitch sized center uses 11 megawatts of electricity (from a renewable and environmentally friendly source) to achieve all these ,that's an energy sufficient to power a small city of 2,500 inhabitants.

The €70 million(~N30b in Naira ) Weather Factory Test Center is a perfect replacement for taking cars to unfriendly weather regions like the Antarctica , Death Valley and Mount Everest North Base Camp that has an altitudes of 5,200m.

Here in Africa, ewedu filled brain coneheads are still stuck with the desert dry arsse of a certain dullard from daura. A certified dullard that cannot weather any storm,even an ordinary small wind that blows for 5mins.
Sniffing the wind that comes from his weather beaten arsse is perfume to all moumou coneheads and mufutaus

What gets me most angry is when I see the money they spend for these wonderful achievements.

Please for God sake.. Just an equivalent of 30B Naira. This is not upto have of the money WILL BE STOLEN today in Aso Rock alone not to talk of other sectors.

Why can't out politicians, pastors, CEOs, public and Civil servants, ordinary Nigerians stealing money Have mercy on this entity calle NIGERIA and use this money for better things.

Everyday it still baffles me why we don't have common constant Electricity.. Is it that there is no money or what?
