MBUSI On-Road Test Track
The on-road test track, located at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, is where features such as suspension and traction can be tested.
The on-road track provides M-Class test drivers with road hazards that simulate typical and extreme driving conditions: A Hill Test with 18%, 30%, and 60% ramps; a Roller-Test to simulate wheel slip conditions- such as ice; a Comfort Assessment Test; Torque Test; Long Bump Test; Truck Tire Rut Test; Water Trough Test; and a Manhole Cover Test; etc.
The 18% Roller Test is also located at the on-road test track. This test simulates a loss of traction on up to three of the vehicle's four wheels.
