IVALO, Finland (April 19, 2012)—Test World Oy is building a year-round indoor winter test center for tires and vehicles at a site near Ivalo, in northern Finland.
The three-phase project will create a test center serving vehicle manufacturers and sub-contractors, and will be completed by the end of 2015, Test World said.
The first phase of construction will start in May and will be in operation before the end of the year. TestWorld currently runs an outdoor test facility just outside Ivalo, but it is only available when temperatures drop in fall until they rise again in spring.
