“Oshkosh is planning to showcase one of its most elaborate and
innovative trade show exhibits at Interschutz. It is both a thrill
and an honor for our team,” said Jim Johnson, Oshkosh Corporation
executive vice president and president, Fire & Emergency. “In
addition to unveiling an all-new global municipal fire apparatus,
we will be sharing details on the new twin-engine Oshkosh Striker 8
X 8, demonstrating the amazing Striker Simulator virtual reality
training system, and showcasing an Oshkosh Striker 6 X 6 with the
Snozzle HRET from Manchester International Airport. It’s going to
be special.”
The new Oshkosh fire apparatus aimed at international markets is
engineered and constructed to exacting standards by Oshkosh
subsidiary, Pierce Manufacturing (North America’s leading designer
of custom fire and emergency vehicles). More details will follow at
the show with an Oshkosh fire apparatus on display at the Oshkosh
Corporation booth.
Detailed drawings, design engineering and ARFF experts will be
on hand to introduce the much-anticipated new Oshkosh Striker 8 X 8
configuration. Among the most powerful firefighting trucks on the
planet, the Striker 8 X 8 will offer a range of twin-engine power
plant options for unmatched vehicle performance and firefighting
capabilities. The cab will set the new industry standard for
ergonomics, visibility, comfort and safety features on an 8 X 8
ARFF vehicle.
The new Oshkosh Striker Simulator virtual reality training
system, one of the industry’s most sophisticated, will be set up
for hands-on demonstrations. Already on duty at Chicago’s O’Hare
International Airport, the Striker Simulator system is engineered
to depict a nearly endless array of training scenarios for aircraft
rescue and fire fighting organizations. The Striker Simulator
system enables more realistic, more varied, and more intensive
training opportunities. The system delivers a giant leap forward in
realism, with actual Striker vehicle cockpit components and
controls along with a series of widescreen video monitors. The
system features a Scenario Toolbox that enables incident commanders
to easily develop highly realistic and varied emergency situations
from an easy-to-use drop-down menu.
