Death Valley is a famous name for testing those prototypes in extremely testing hot conditions but for the opposite, carmakers prefer different destinations and the new addition is Sweden. The low temperatures make ideal conditions for a car to be tested under extreme cold temperatures before it finally gets mass produced. Mercedes used this new destination to test the B-Class Fuel Cell under trying cold conditions. The officials were convinced with the cars ability to hold the road which meant that they were satisfied with the cars performance under such conditions. More tests would be conducted soon on the other fuel-cell operated concepts in an attempt to have the production models ready by the end of this decade.
