Car companies are working tirelessly on a new model. Massive technical work in the background ongoing. to be tested Although the cars belong to different segments and even different brands, they have a common feature. they have.

This common feature is that all cars under test are fitted with some form of camouflage. This is done to hide the tools It’s not a big secret. However, the premise is quite interesting.

In this example you see Skoda’s ENYAQ iV both with and without camouflage.

It is clear that the Skoda engineers did this work to hide the vehicle in the test phase. Looking at Skoda’s description, it’s just for the camouflage above 120 hours We see what they spend.

Camouflage studies first came to prominence in World War I.

The British ships in “deceptive camouflage” gave the illusion of different direction, size and speed.

After the heavy defeat by the army of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, France is considering ways to hide the ships and the first camouflage works are carried out. those times british navy artist Norman Wilkinson, who works for about 4,000 shipstakes an active part in the war. However, there is a great mystery at this point, there has never been any concrete evidence that camouflaged ships work.

The jump from camouflage to the automotive industry took place in the 1950s.

Camouflage used by BMW.

Photos of prototype vehicles without permission Newspapers are causing a serious problem in the industry. Unauthorized shares, which only satisfied the consumers of the period, are causing controversy among automakers.

A German automotive newspaper called “Auto, motor und sport”, Erlkönig He shares photos of vehicle prototypes without permission. These messages cause rival companies to see each other’s cars. The Erlkönige curve, which caused controversy among companies, causes the common name of camouflaged cars to be called “erlkönige”. After this incident, automotive engineers created and used various camouflage works. in tested cars. they use.

Camouflage isn’t just for guns and cars. The clearest example of this can be seen in this photo.

Surfers and divers also occasionally use camouflage. It is like that because, sharks avoid possible attacks.

Here are several examples of some camouflage work:
