1. A cooling module for a motor vehicle, comprising:
at least one heat exchanger;
at least one tangential-flow turbomachine configured to create a first air stream passing through the at least one heat exchanger;
a housing configured to accommodate the at least one heat exchanger and said at least one tangential-flow turbomachine, the housing including a first intake opening and a discharge opening between which the first air stream flows; and
at least one electric motor for controlling the rotation of said at least one tangential-flow turbomachine, the at least one electric motor being positioned on an outer wall of the housing, said at least one electric motor including at least one air inlet and one air outlet,
wherein the housing includes a second intake opening, the air outlet of the at least one electric motor being fluidly connected to said second intake opening so as to allow the flow of a second air stream passing in succession through the at least one air inlet of the at least one electric motor, the air outlet of the at least one electric motor and the second intake opening of the housing to join the first air stream inside the housing, and
wherein the second intake opening of the housing is positioned upstream of the at least one heat exchanger.
