The car was gently lowered onto the Antarctic ice sheet from the polar research vessel Xuelong. It is set to undergo a series of adaptive application tests against Antarctica's extreme conditions, including severe cold, fierce snowstorms, and intense ultraviolet radiation. The data collected from these tests is expected to drive advancements in functional safety, intelligent electronic control, and thermal management for NEVs, the manufacturer said.
