Skoda Cars are being tested against frost in the Car Factory
Before a new ŠKODA model hits the market, all its properties and functions are put through a wide variety of stress tests. That also applies to the car’s ability to deal with ice and frost.
One of the tests finds out how quickly the windscreen de-ices. The car is left to “freeze” at a temperature of -20°C in a climate simulation chamber. A specified quantity of water is sprayed onto the windscreen and transforms into a solid layer of ice. This simulates a freezing morning in extreme conditions. The car heating system’s ability to heat up the interior with the engine idling is then tested, with the goal being 80% of the windscreen cleared within 40 minutes at twenty below zero. These parameters are not chosen randomly: it’s what the regulations require.
