As a result of the global warming, the time when the soil is frozen gets shorter and shorter. This leads to a bigger demand of vehicles with good accessibility.
Jeanette is a part of FIRST research school, and her focus is to study how different wheel- and track constructions on forwarders affect the accessibility on soft ground. How can we manufacture vehicles so that the ground damages gets as small as possible without loss in accessibility? Another big part of the PhD is to see how soil damages can be avoided with good planning.
