New generations of Kodiaq and Superb successfully complete super-cold testing in the Arctic Circle

Description

The new generations of Škoda’s Superb and Kodiaq models have successfully passed intensive cold testing in the Arctic Circle. The vehicles’ functions, quality and durability were assessed in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. The main focus of these tests was on driving stability, passenger comfort in icy conditions and overall reliability during long winter journeys. In addition, the vehicles had to withstand the extra weight of ice and snow. With the extreme-cold trials completed, testing of the new models now enters the final phase. The new Superb and the second-generation Kodiaq will have their world premieres in autumn 2023.Intensive test drives in extreme cold conditions are part of the standard programme for new-vehicle development. Škoda Auto regularly conducts such tests in the Arctic Circle, where the fourth-generation Škoda Superb and the second generation of the Kodiaq SUV have now proven that they can cope with any winter challenge. Every part of the test vehicles was scrutinised: chassis, body, engine, heating, and the entire electrical system.To assess the vehicles’ general winter performance, Škoda Auto examines the impact of snow on the bodywork as well as the effects of snow entering the engine compartment and air intakes. All mechanical functions of the vehicle body as well as the electrics must perform flawlessly even at temperatures of minus 25 degrees Celsius, and the engine should start without problems at temperatures close to minus 30 degrees. All doors, the bonnet, and the tailgate as well as the fuel filler cap and the cover of the charging socket on PHEV vehicles must be capable of opening even under such adverse conditions.

Convoy of SHERP ATVs Begins Longest Overland Journey North of Arctic Circle

A group of six travellers began their 6,200 mile to Russia's far North-Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula traveling in a convoy of unique off-road SHERP vehicles from the Arctic Sea city of Arkhangelsk last weekend. The expedition plan to cross Russia from Arkhangelsk, located near the Russian border with Norway, to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, on the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula across the Pacific Ocean from the US, a journey which will take between 6 to 8 months, making it the longest overland route north of the Arctic Circle. The vehicle, constructed by Alexei Garagashyan, has a pneumatic circulating suspension, which helps to distribute air between its 800-litre low pressure tires. The ATV can perform a wide range of complicated maneuvers, including climbing onto ice from out of water and passing yard high obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees. The SHERP is ideal for forest workers and rescue services because of its versatility.
