• Ford engineers travel the world to examine potholes and road conditions – often located through customer survey responses – and use 3D mapping to copy and simulate these rough environments at the Ford proving ground in Lommel, Belgium
• Lommel Proving Ground is able to simulate road conditions from all over the world, including the Australian Outback, farm tracks in India, and locations in France, the United Kingdom, Russia and more
  
• Vehicles available in Asia Pacific that have been put through their paces on the Lommel test track include: the Fiesta, Focus, Kuga, Mondeo, Edge and Taurus

SHANGHAI, China, July 23, 2015 – For anyone who has experienced that heart-sinking jolt when an innocent-looking puddle turns out to be a pothole, here’s a scary thought: There’s a single bone-shaking stretch of road that incorporates the worst potholes on Earth.

Ford has developed what may be the worst stretch of road in the world – a 1.5-kilometer test track that ensures new vehicles are better able to withstand damage caused by potholes and other challenging road surfaces, no matter where in the world they are driven.

Ford engineers have travelled the world to find more than 100 of the worst road conditions from 50 countries, including China, India and Australia, and recreated them on a test track in Lommel, Belgium. Many of the potholes and challenging conditions were brought to the attention of Ford engineers by customers who had damaged their vehicles on particularly bad stretches of road.
