Endurance test at -26 degrees - The latest generation of brake control systems for future electric platforms from Mercedes-Benz in winter testing at the Arctic Circle

Mercedes-Benz tested brake control systems of the latest generation while driving in Arjeplog, Sweden, near the Arctic Circle. For more than 20 years, there has been an official branch of the Sindelfingen plant here: a dedicated test center for testing under the most extreme conditions. In addition to EQE, EQS, EQS SUV and EQE SUV, models of future generations of vehicles based on future platforms were also used in the drives across a frozen lake and up the highest mountain in the region. On the road to an all-electric future, the team is working on a new generation of stability control systems. These take advantage of the properties of the electric drive to be able to precisely regulate the torque at the wheels. Most drivers will probably never notice how hard their Mercedes-Benz vehicles work to keep them out of dangerous situations - for Böhm and his team, this is the definition of a job well done.
