The newly opened Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) wind tunnel is a $124 million facility that lets the brand test aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. The company will use the site to develop future production vehicles and race cars, in addition to opening up the site to third parties who want to test their own products.
Situated on a former soybean field at Honda's Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio, this is Honda's first wind tunnel capable of testing full-scale vehicles in the United States. Previously, the company had to rent time at other facilities around the country to do this work.
