HUSQVARNA WELCOME HEDGEHOG RESEARCH
Say they are looking forward to the next study

Husqvarna Group have released a statement in response to the recent news story that Dr. Sophie Lund Rasmussen, known as 'Dr Hedgehog', has published the findings of a major research project on the impact of robotic mowers on hedgehogs.

 

 

The study from the University of Oxford on the danger of robotic lawn mowers to hedgehogs, highlighted the differences in safety levels between different makes of robotic mowers. Husqvarna Group say their machines performed well in the test, as they, amongst other safety features, are all equipped with lightweight pivoting blades.

 

The manufacturer says it welcomes research on the topic and is looking forward to the next study from Dr Rasmussen. 


"We welcome the new research from Dr Rasmussen, and are eager to learn the outcome of her future research," said Margaretha Finnstedt, director Innovation Lab at Husqvarna.

 

"We hope to be able to work closely together to continue to learn and thereby, further improve our products, Safety has been our top priority since we launched the first commercial robotic mower in 1995. This is fundamental to what we are as a company."
