When the temperature drops, so does the ability of many cars and trucks to safely and smoothly operate. To prevent this, automakers often turn to winter testing facilities and quality testing companies to verify their products’ durability and drivability on icy roads, through snow, and in temperatures well below 0 degrees Celsius.
Located near Brimley, MI, the Smithers Winter Test Center (SWTC) allows clients to reserve proving grounds for a variety of cold weather tests on whole vehicles, components, and equipment. Automotive OEMs also can test a wide range of vehicle types, from small cars to Class 8 trucks to recreational sport vehicles, on snowy, icy, or dry area surfaces.
