Dear Friends

I would like to hear from anyone that is working with forest harvesting mechanisation systems. 
We have developed a PC based simulator for off-road vehicles and would like to do joint
research work with other organisations.  The program calculates power available, resistance
to motion and acceleration along a road profile and then determines the fuel consumption.  It
can be used to try out different vehicle configurations, route options or driving rules.  It is very
accurate when used to simulate agricultural type tractors and we are wanting to expand the
scope to include forest harvest machinery.

If you are interested in corresponding with us, I would appreciate hearing form you.

Regards,
