Arjeplog Test Management Driving school on lake Ullak.
Driving on snow and ice is very different from drivning on dry roads. So it is a good idea to get trained by a driving school before heading out on public winter roads or ice tracks. Many vehicle testing companies begin the season in Arjeplog by sending their employees to a driving school. Then they often need to do a refreshing occasionally. When Xpress Arjeplog visits ATM Driving School on lake Ullak, three Renault employees are at the driving school for the first time.
- It´s great pedagogic, Didier Martinez says. The instructor is outside the car and can see what you can improve and teach you how to do that. Mattias Backteman is the instructor for the day and he has worked with the driving school for several years. - We have private customers and customers from all industries. We focus especially on work related driving on winter roads, and professional drivers who want to develop their driving technique in winter conditions. We also teach them traffic rules, how to behave in traffic and what to think about, he says.

Family Four children, three boys and a girl, between 21 and 9. It’s interesting that my daughter is much more excited about bikes than my boys. Home is… where the bills are sent to. I am born in Germany but have been living in the UK for the last 20 years. Company BorgWarner since end of August 2016, with development sites around the world: *Auburn Hills close to Detroit in Michigan, United States *Pendleton near Indianapolis in Indiana, United States *Landskrona in Skåne, Sweden *Wuhan and Beijing in China *Daegu and Changnyeong in Korea Occupation Vice President of Engineering for PowerDrive Systems Favorite food Everything spicy, especially Thai What about your job It is great to be part of a team developing new technology. Beside creating systems which are fun to drive we reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Earlier occupation I worked many years as Chief Engineer with Formula One racing. My goal has always been to win a F1 World Championship, we succeeded several times.
Spare time activities Rock climbing, where I also am an Instructor. And to ride motorbikes and race them. Dreams about the future Job - Contribute to a better driving experience for our customers while reducing fuel consumption. Private - That my family and children are happy and for me to enjoy what I am doing. I also want to climb more and ride more on my motorbikes. Do you have a motto in life You have one life, just one: live it and enjoy it. Let’s run towards our wildest dreams like being on fire. Deal with things now, don´t wait until tomorrow. The place you enjoy being most I also like mountains and deserts very much, but before a physical location I enjoy most being with my Family. A dream trip I like road trips, so by car from Sweden to South Africa through the Sahara, with my climbing equipment and also a motorbike. Do you have any special skills I can climb and drive motorbike racing. Tell us a secret about yourself that you do not think people know When chocolate disappears from the fridge it is not always one of the kids…. Something you learned from your parents that you have passed on to your children Pay attention to all details of things you do, otherwise it may be better not to do it at all. Something you want to say to people in Arjeplog I find them helpful and friendly, even with strangers. They have patience in the middle of the season and take everything well. I like your traditions which I have seen on many pictures and I like the local food. 2

Ice Academy on lake Kakel
Phil Talboys
JAGUAR LAND ROVER EXPERIENCE ICE ACADEMY
- We want to give our guests a full experience while they are here, Phil Talboys says. Phil is the Operation Manager of Jaguar Land Rover European Engineering. That is why we have built our new lodge with a stunning view over lake Kakel. We planned for the Ice Academy Experience and the lodge for eighteen months, and last summer was the perfect time for building and starting up the academy. The guests stay 2-3 days in Arjeplog and experience driving on ice, land tracks and on the new off-road track. They can drive the Jaguar F-PACE and F-TYPE and the Range Rover Sport. Matt Crane, JLR Revi Site Manager is the designer of the tracks, and he stays in Arjeplog for the whole season – even if he is off duty, since he likes Arjeplog so much.
- We try to cooperate with other companies in Arjeplog, so our guests can also participate in other local activities like visiting the Iglootel or going on a dog sledge tour. We also offer them local food such as reindeer, elk and salmon, sometimes in the teepee beside lake Ullak that belongs to Arjeplog Test Management. Our guests are here to enjoy a luxury holiday with a Scandinavian feel. They stay at the Silverhatten Hotel and in this first year of the Ice Academy Experience, we have had 300 guests from around the world as far as Australia and Korea. We want to grow our experience and engineering activities here, we just need Arjeplog to have a few more beds available! Phil concludes. 4

Meet Veronica Axelsson and Hans-Erik Jonsson that let out their house during the winter season How do you prepare yourself and the house We clean the whole house carefully and take the opportunity to clear out clothes and other things that we do not have use for. How do you live in the meantime This year we have been living in a caravan at Kraja Camping with our pets; Hubbe the dog and our cat Majsan. Evening activities We often watch TV and take long walks with the dog. Is it worth it Absolutely. If you had asked us eight years ago when we also had children in the caravan the answer would probably been something else ... Why do you let out the house Contributions in cash to be able to renovate the house. We think it is important that the money is spent on refurbishment and not just entertainment and travel. Some say that they comes closer to each other, is that right? For us it does not matter where we live, we are close to each other even in the house.
How many years have you let out your home Previously we rented out for many years but has not done it for nine years.
Did you know... ...That we really appreciate that almost every test vehicle slows down when they meet us on our small village roads, when we are out walking. Thank you. ... That “Lavskrikan”,Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) is the Norrbotten county animal. It´s also called “Rödolle” or “Guaxick”. It is known for staying close to humans, especially around picnic times, as it loves a piece of sausage or meat, even from your hand.
What is the best by letting out the house It is well felt in the budget and that we can help because it is a huge problem for automotive testing to find accommodation. What is the most difficult to let out the house The hardest part is the accommodation. Now we were fortunate and could borrow a caravan because we do not own one ourselves. Do you notice any difference in Arjeplog during the vehicle test season Certainly there is a difference. I (Veronica) noticed it more when I was working at Coop Konsum. Lots of people on the go and it’s nice with all the different nationalities. You meet many new people.

What do the children think The girl lives in her own apartment. The son got the hiccups when we told him that we would stay in the caravan, so he moved to his father during the rental period. Is there a difference to stay at home Sure it is. Cooking becomes more complicated because the surfaces are much smaller in a caravan, so we often eat fast and easy food. But we think it’s gone really well this year and the time has passed quickly. But surely we miss our home.
