OVERVIEW
Our land test tracks are used by global OEMs, component suppliers, and research teams pushing the limits of everything from electric sedans to heavy-duty trucks. Whether you’re developing traction control systems, ABS, or full vehicle platforms, our land-based facilities provide the rugged, repeatable environment you need.
The layouts of our land testing tracks are designed to take full advantage of what the land offers: slopes, inclines, and uneven surfaces that lake ice can’t replicate. Engineers can simulate whatever real-world scenarios they need – sudden traction loss, mixed-surface braking, hill starts.

Straight track with a section of heated asphalt, natural ice and packed snow, offering split-µ conditions
An undulating test course with elevation changes and a balanced mix of fast- and slow speed sections
EXTENDED TEST SEASON
Land test tracks provide a vital advantage in the early winter phase, before the lakes reach safe ice thickness. Testing can start as early as November, giving engineering teams a longer operational window to validate systems, collect comparison data, and adjust setups before shifting onto lake surfaces later in the season. This expanded timeline helps stabilize development schedules and reduces the bottlenecks that usually appear when everyone waits for the ice to form.
Our primary land testing track site is located at Pipudden, 8 kilometers east of Arjeplog at the foot of Galtispouda mountain, offering varied terrain and dependable winter conditions. Additional dedicated land test tracks are also maintained for select customers in other parts of Arjeplog as well as in Arvidsjaur, ensuring flexible access and room for tailored testing programs across the region.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What is a land test track?
A land test track is a dedicated winter-testing facility on solid ground, designed for cold-climate vehicle testing. Our land tracks are located at Pipudden (east of Arjeplog) and other sites in Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur. They allow you to begin testing earlier in the season (often from late November) because you’re not waiting for lake ice to form. They take advantage of natural terrain features: slopes, inclines, uneven surfaces and various surfaces that the lake cannot replicate.
What types of vehicle tests are conducted on land tracks?
