Winterisation and Winter Testing 99
14 Grudnia 1999 - 14 Grudnia 1999
Finland
A seminar on winterisation and winter testing will be held on Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland from 14 to 17 December 1999.
The seminar is aimed at professionals from the car and tyre industry, research organisations, academic institutions and military industry. It will offer an opportunity to experience and learn about new methods and technologies for transportation and traffic in harsh winter conditions. Due to its ice, darkness, snow, cold and slippery roads, the winter-testing of cars and tyres is a rapidly developing business in Lapland.
This is the second seminar of this kind, which will offer participants a 'very concrete touch of the extreme northern dimension' say the conference organisers. The seminar will emphasise the presentation and exhibition of cross-country truck, tracked truck, cross country vehicle, snowmobiles, tyres and lubricants. Several experts on transportation technology, including former world champion rally driver, and now MEP, Ari Vatanen, will give presentations at the event.
In addition there will be off-road mobility demonstrations and traditional Lapland leisure time activities will be offered.
The event is being organised by the Finnish Rovaniemi Polytechnic, Helsinki University of Technology, Test World Ltd. and Euromotor.
