Business Finland Veturi Challenge
Ponsse, a leading manufacturer of forest machinery, and its technology company Epec, have together launched a project called FORWARD´27 which aims to significantly reduce the emissions and environmental impact of mobile work machinery used in forestry and other heavy industries.
Key challenges
