Energy
efficent and environmentally sound
forestry machinery of the future
The El-forest forwarder is the world’s first forestry
machine that uses energy efficient electric-hybrid technology.
The technology has attracted great interest and
support, among other reasons as a result of its potential to cut fuel
consumption and thereby also reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.
Due to its lighter weight, although still able to
handle the same load as a conventional forwarder of a comparable size,
it facilitates more environmentally sound log hauling.
Moreover, it has significantly less impact on the
external environment through a patented innovative frame construction
that enables all wheels, which are individually electrically powered, to
follow the same wheel-track with adapted speed.
It has attracted major attention from the large
forestry machine customers in the Nordic countries as well as from
customers in many of the large forest countries worldwide.
