OVERVIEW
The Winter Test Region is an unrivaled cluster teeming with top-tier vehicle and component manufacturers coming from all over the world. The region encompasses the municipalities of Arjeplog, Arvidsjaur, and Älvsbyn, which during winter transform into a leading global test center for companies such as VW, BMW, Daimler, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lamborghini, MAN, BOSCH, Continental, among others.
Here you have access to a complete package for winter vehicle testing. A successful winter vehicle testing project requires more than just cutting-edge winter test tracks. Other elements like accommodation, local know-how, and logistics solutions are equally as important when testing in extreme subarctic circumstances.

TEST PROJECT SUPPORT
Testing, demonstrating, and validating new products in an arctic climate is important for manufacturers of vehicles, systems, components, and tires. Today, testing vehicles like buses, trucks, and cars under winter conditions can, to a certain degree, be achieved with software modeling and simulation, but there’s no substitute for subjecting a new product to extreme real-world conditions. The Winter Test Region in northern Sweden provides world-class winter vehicle testing facilities and services not found anywhere else in such relative concentration.
Winter vehicle test projects involve many variables, complex logistics, and tight schedules, adding significant complexity, regardless of the project’s size. The time spent on site should be utilized to the fullest to meet the project objectives. Planning everything from abroad can be challenging, and to extract the maximum benefit from all the opportunities in the Winter Test Region, having a reliable and experienced partner on site is a significant advantage.
