PONSSE OYJ PRESS RELEASE 31 MAY 2007 AT 10 AM                                   

LATEST PONSSE PRODUCTS IN SKOGSELMIA                                            

Ponsse will introduce several new products at the SkogsElmia fair in Sweden from
31 May to 2 June 2007. For the first time, the visitors will see the PONSSE Ergo
harvester that has gone through an extensive development programme, as well as  
novelties in the bioenergy field - group handling function for harvester heads  
and a new load scale. A new harvester head control system for harvesting        
eucalyptus trees, the PONSSE Opti2, will also be launched.                      

Active feedback from our customers has introduced a number of improvements to   
PONSSE Ergo. PONSSE Ergo, an established forerunner, is now even more efficient 
and productive harvester than before. The new C4 crane, H7 harvester head and   
general improvements to the base machine together with the new Opti4G 4.602     
version and the new-generation control modules make Ergo the most advanced      
harvester in its size category. Driving comfort is guaranteed by the new PONSSE 
active damping system. Operating comfort has also been developed. PONSSE Ergo is
equipped with the most versatile crane (HN125, HN200 and C4 sliding boom cranes,
and C33 parallel crane) and harvester head (the H60 series, H73 and H7) models  
in the markets.                                                                 

The PONSSE H7 harvester head's innovative technology is based on the new        
harvester head taken into production in spring 2007, PONSSE H8. The PONSSE C4   
harvester crane is an efficient sliding boom crane with a lifting power of 228  
kNm. Other products to be lauched at SkogsElmia are the new PONSSE LoadOptimizer
load scale for weighing industrial and energy wood, and harvester heads' group  
handling equipment for simultaneous handling of several trunks. The new PONSSE  
Opti2 harvester head control system is suitable for the harvesting of eucalyptus
and acacia.                                                                     

The SkogsElmia fair is the final stop of the Ponsse Road Show tour that started 
at the beginning of 2007. Tour events have been organised in 30 locations in 13 
different countries. During the tour we have met thousands of customers from all
over Europe and got valuable feedback for the development of our operations and 
products. The heavy-duty size category PONSSE Bear harvester and the PONSSE     
Elephant forwarder have been well received by the forestry professionals. "Our  
new products in the heavy-duty size category have strengthened our              
competitiveness, and the products to be launched now are the kind of solutions  
our customers have wanted in our product range. We believe that the PONSSE Ergo 
will be increasingly popular in all our market areas," says Arto Tiitinen,      
President and CEO of Ponsse Oyj.
