Explore Sweden - Testing 4×4 Škoda models on ice and snow

Description

Škoda Auto explores Sweden! The Czech carmaker is organizing a 4×4 Winter Experience event in central Sweden. The complete portfolio of all-wheel drive Škoda models, including the all-electric Enyaq iV series, will be presented in the kingdom of nearly 100,000 lakes, which also boasts a well-developed industry and world-leading sustainable energy sector. Participants can look forward to scenic drives, featuring unspoilt nature and exciting activities focused on the cars’ handling on a frozen lake. The highlights of the event will be co-driving the Fabia RS Rally2 and an attempt to break a world record for the longest continuous drift on ice with the Enyaq RS iV.Sweden has a thriving economy, with efficient forestry and industry. Half of the country is covered by forests, and agricultural land accounts for about 10% of the total area. The Swedish landscape, which is relatively flat, is dotted with nearly 100,000 lakes, creating a plentiful supply of water. In the central Swedish province of Jämtland, the city of Östersund stands on the shore of the country’s fifth largest lake, Storsjön. There and on the nearby island of Frösön, Škoda Auto is hosting the 4×4 Winter Experience event. The university town of Östersund, with a population of about 50,000, is well known as a venue for winter sports such as biathlon and speed skating.

Endurance test at -26 degrees - The latest generation of brake control systems for future electric platforms by Mercedes-Benz in winter testing at the Arctic Circle

Mercedes-Benz tested the latest generation of brake control systems on drives in Arjeplog, Sweden, near the Arctic Circle. For more than 20 years, an official branch of the Sindelfingen plant has existed here: its very own test centre for testing in the most extreme conditions. In addition to the EQE, EQS, EQS SUV and EQE SUV, models of future vehicle generations based on future platforms were also used in the drives across a frozen lake and up the region’s highest mountain.“During the test drives, our team is primarily concerned with safety, efficiency and driving comfort. The development team tunes the brake control systems individually for each model series – and pushes them to their physical limits.”Christoph Böhm, Head of Brake Control Systems, Mercedes-Benz AGOn the way to an all-electric future, the team is working on a new generation of stability control systems. These make use of the properties of the electric drive to precisely control the torque at the wheels. Most drivers will probably never notice how hard their Mercedes-Benz vehicles work to keep them out of dangerous situations – for Böhm and his team, this is the definition of a job well done.

Testing the new BMW i5. Chapter 2 - Winter testing in Arjeplog, Sweden

The purpose of this second round of testing in Sweden was to fine-tune all powertrain and chassis control systems. Thanks to their low-grip surfaces, the test areas sited on frozen lakes around Arjeplog were particularly well suited for delicately adjusting the drive torque control system in the BMW i5 under precisely reproducible conditions. In the new BMW i5, the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system, the near-actuator wheel slip limitation function and the drive torque control system are interlinked so that they can interact and complement each other flexibly in any driving situation. As a result, the all-electric sedan performs at least as proficiently as any conventionally powered model on ice and snow.The integrated application of all powertrain and chassis systems underpins the outstanding handling abilities displayed by the BMW i5 in winter testing. The more challenging the conditions, the more impressive were the speed and precision of the control systems in the fully electric version of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan. The BMW i5 serves up a harmonious blend of optimum traction when pulling away and supreme driving stability when cornering or braking, which is unique in the competitive environment.
