Start-up and pull-away tests of vehicles at temperatures below 0 (down to -35˚C)

Tests are conducted in order to assess the influence of low ambient temperatures on an engine’s operation during start-up and pull away of vehicles in temperatures below 0 (down to -35˚C).
Such extreme conditions are created in order to test the behaviour of the powertrain as well as working liquids and fuels in such arctic conditions.
