THIS is Ponsse's new hybrid vehicle concept.
The EV1 features a fully electric powertrain, which operates solely with battery energy, and a diesel engine to charge the generator.
Said to provide a "peek into the future", it is the result of three years of development alongside Epec, a system supplier of 'advanced electrics'.

Juho Nummela, president and CEO of Ponsse, said: “Technological development is fast and offers us excellent opportunities to develop our solutions further, even in unexpected directions.
"We have worked hard with our technology company Epec to enable this concept. At the same time, both companies have developed their capabilities, and we have gained significant new knowledge during this project.
"This launch of a new technology concept is a peek into the future and one of the solutions offered by electric powertrains."
