The All-new Renault Austral, quality from A to L
  • last year
It takes a high-tech plant to build a high-tech vehicle. Investments at the plant in Palencia, Spain have enabled the facility to guarantee the best quality in terms of the manufacturing and operation of the All-new Renault Austral and its various features. The vehicle contains no less than 32 advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS), including the latest-generation head-up display, with settings that were adjusted particularly painstakingly. Indeed, two new ultra-modern calibration benches were built to do just that. Sergio, the lead on new projects at the plant’s assembly department, tells us that fine-tuning these two benches wasn’t easy due to a lighting issue. Here’s more about the problem, how they solved it and how the result is already benefitting the vehicles rolling out of this plant.
