Volvo winter testing in extreme conditions
Volvo's Scandinavian heritage and industry-leading test framework create the foundations for one of the world's safest winter cars, so that customers can rely on Volvo everywhere, irrespective of climate and road conditions. That is why Volvo's cars are tested under the most extreme conditions from Arizona's blisteringly hot desert to the biting cold of the Arctic north. "Our cars have to be able to withstand ambient temperatures between -40 and +60 degrees C. Our aim is to create the best possible car for all climates," says Jan Inge Eliasson, head of the Complete Vehicles Testing department at Volvo Cars.
