Renault Master, the aerovan | R:Talk
When you think about aerodynamic Vehicles almost nobody thinks about large Vans but when you realize that at highway speeds about 80% of your motor’s energy is just pushing the air out of the way you realize that optimizing aerodynamic performance is really critical for all vehicles especially if
You have a whole Fleet of them right from the start the project managers had very ambitious goals it would be the world’s leader in aerodynamics with about a 20% reduction in draag so when talking about the shapee of a van we have redefined master in coherence with the new brand values we
Had to take into account that first of all a master is a utility vehicle and we have to find the right balance between styling and design aerodynamics and of course the loading capacities and on top of that we had to manage the shape of the three lens and the two ites
Available on new master in addition to all those computer Sy simulations we needed more than 300 hours here in the wind tunnel to find every solution and perfect every detail to achieve the Target and Michael what about our favorite subject the rear viiew mirror of course it has to be attractive
Functional but aerodynamic really Lou what a story together with design we imagined over a 100 different shapes tested five of them over two days here with design at the wind tunnel and on top of that we had to manage a lot of small details like the air curtains in
The bumper like the wheel caps and every single one was detailed and was designed with a lot of attention and of course being tested in the wind tunnel in the end we achieved all of our objectives and we are world leaders for our professional Customers
