Indoor Winter Test Facilities
At a glance
Millbrook’s indoor winter test facilities in Northern Finland give highly repeatable test results, whatever the weather outside.
The 1.6km of cold-weather vehicle test tracks offer the perfect space, security and controlled conditions for driven tests in a cold environment with or without a low friction surface.
Indoor Facilities
They are fully equipped with vehicle charging infrastructure and enable simultaneous, controlled and repeatable testing on:
- snow
- ice
- wet asphalt
- dry asphalt
This allows winter testing to be performed 365 days a year.
The indoor winter test facilities allow speeds in excess of 100km/h and offer independent control of surface temperature and air temperature.
In addition, a series of cold boxes with direct access onto the test tracks can be used to soak vehicles to -40°C prior to testing.
Applications
Test tracks can be converted for split-μ (mu) and μ-jump testing of Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) and Traction Control (TC) systems.
They are used for tests including brake noise, snow ingress, cold start and driveability, and for winter tire development and certification.
