Oshkosh Corporation products

The McNeilus Volterra ZSL electric refuse collection vehicle is a first-of-its-kind product in North America that was designed from the ground up with both customers and users in mind.

The Volterra Platform of Electric Vehicles was designed through close collaboration with our fire department partners to provide all the safety, functionality and performance needed by first responders while also helping protect the planet we all call home.

The Striker Volterra technology is backed by decades of technology and innovation developed by Oshkosh Corporation. The Oshkosh Airport Products Striker Volterra electric ARFF is engineered to channel mechanical power and battery power to maximize driving and pumping performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. This vehicle uses leading Oshkosh Corporation technology including an Oshkosh patented electric drivetrain that allows for zero-emissions operation when powered by batteries. The Striker Volterra is capable of achieving 28% improved acceleration when fully loaded, resulting in a quickened response time to get the job done safer and quicker.

The electrification of commercial fleets is no longer just a vision. At Oshkosh Corporation, we’re developing advanced, fully Electric Vehicles to serve a wide variety of industries—vehicles just as capable of fulfilling their mission as their internal combustion counterparts. Beyond reducing energy consumption and emissions, our suite of battery electric technologies can lower total cost of ownership and increase vehicle performance.

Our proprietary telematics systems collect raw data from connected products around the world, providing our machine learning algorithms and data science teams with the information needed to provide actionable intelligence to our customers. By enabling and analyzing digital communications to and from vehicles, we provide insights owners and operators can use to maintain equipment health, improve utilization and simplify fleet management.

Autonomous operation isn’t possible without accurate information. Our robotic perception technologies leverage systems like LIDAR, RADAR, cameras and GPS with advanced machine learning algorithms to enable independent operation in complex and changing environments. Already present in several of our prototype products, these AI-enabled perception systems are a critical component in the fully autonomous vehicles of the future.

Safety is a team effort. We`re developing integrated safety systems that can keep drivers safe and connected to one another, protecting those who use our products so they can focus on the task at hand. From sensor enabled warnings to vehicle-to-vehicle alerts, our technology does more than simply help keep operators safe—it helps them rise to any challenge at a moment`s notice.

The people who rely on our vehicles need to be able to go anywhere at any time. As part of our ongoing purpose to ensure the everyday heroes are ready for anything, we`re constantly exploring new ways to advance our suspension systems. Our ever-evolving technology leverages the latest and greatest in materials and mechanical engineering, allowing for flexibility and higher speed travel across challenging terrain.

While designing the Oshkosh Defense Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), our engineers saw an opportunity to advance the suspension system to deliver better ride quality and improve off-road performance by using a high-pressure gas strut and spring system versus a traditional solid axle spring. This new gas spring suspension system allows for up to 70% faster off-road travel than other vehicles in the industry and a more comfortable ride. The new TAK-4i suspension system is a substantial leap in technology. It met, and in some instances exceeded, all mobility and ride quality requirements set forth by the U.S. Government.

For more than a century, we’ve built vehicles to help people traverse Earth’s most challenging terrain. Now, we’re reaching for a new frontier: the moon. Our history of applying advanced mobility technologies to vehicles operating in extreme conditions makes us the right people for the job. We’re participating in opportunities to support NASA’s return to the moon and we’re prepared to help mankind navigate and explore the lunar landscape.
