MARTORELL, España, March 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

  • 150 técnicos e ingenieros, 60 test, 30.000 km y cuatro meses de trabajo en condiciones extremas para poner a prueba los vehículos 
  • Cada año, hasta 90 coches se enfrentan a la nieve, el hielo y temperaturas que pueden marcar -35 grados  
  • El objetivo de las pruebas es garantizar el funcionamiento de todos los sistemas antes de que un coche salga al mercado

Abedules y pinos nevados, temperaturas que pueden alcanzar los 35 grados bajo cero y un lago helado como circuito. En un punto cercano al Círculo Polar Ártico, ingenieros de SEAT ponen al límite hasta 90 vehículos cada año. Estas son las pruebas de invierno más extremas por las que ha pasado el SEAT Ateca FR.

-Control de estabilidad: La prueba se desarrolla en una pista circular encima de un lago helado de 6km cuadrados de superficie. La parte interior del lago está más pulida; la exterior, menos, para favorecer el deslizamiento. El control de tracción se desactiva en diferentes grados. Si el vehículo pierde la trazada, el sistema ESC corrige las ruedas para recuperar la trayectoria.

-Test de frenada: 200 metros de pista con dos superficies diferentes: alta y baja adherencia. Uno de los carriles está calefactado a una temperatura de 10 grados para evitar que el asfalto se congele; el otro se enfría a -16 grados para que el hielo se mantenga intacto. Gracias a esta prueba se calibra el sistema ABS, que ayuda al conductor a controlar la estabilidad del vehículo en las condiciones más extremas.

-Prueba de aspiración: La finalidad de este test es comprobar que el filtro de aire del motor no se obstruye cuando se circula dentro de una nube de nieve producida por otro vehículo. Para simular esta situación, se necesitan dos coches que alcanzarán los 80 km/h: el primero, se encarga de levantar la nieve; el segundo, es el vehículo que se está analizando. Tras un recorrido de 50 km se comprueba que el filtro no se haya saturado evitando que el motor pierda potencia.

-Análisis de ruidos: El conductor y, habitualmente, un segundo técnico, intentan detectar ruidos que puedan resultar molestos para los pasajeros y cuál es su origen. A causa del frío, algunas de las tres mil piezas que forman un coche se contraen y pueden producir estos sonidos al entrar en contacto. Para analizarlos, los coches recorren varios tipos de superficies a diferentes velocidades.

-30.000 km de uso intensivo: Es la distancia que recorren los vehículos durante el test de durabilidad en carreteras nevadas y con hielo. Forma parte de una prueba global de 150.000 km, en diferentes condiciones, que sirve para analizar el desgaste que pueden sufrir con los años.

Son sólo cinco de los cerca de sesenta tipos de test extremos a los que se somete un coche. Unas pruebas más necesarias que nunca por la incorporación de sistemas electrónicos cada vez más complejos.
