OSHKOSH, WI—Oshkosh Airport Products LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation company, will display its all-new Oshkosh® Striker® 8×8 aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) vehicle atFDIC国际from April 27-29 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“With the introduction of the new Oshkosh Striker 8×8, the entire range of Striker ARFF vehicles continues to lead the industry in terms of performance, reliability, and ergonomics,” said Jeff Resch, Oshkosh Airport Products Vice President and General Manager. “The apparatus is the result of customer input, years of research and development, and significant engineering hours by the best minds in the industry, establishing the new benchmark among ARFF vehicles.”
Power Plus
The new Oshkosh Striker 8×8 is the most powerful ARFF vehicle in the company’s history. The matching pair of Scania rear-mounted, Tier 4F low-emission engines deliver up to 1,540 hp, driving all eight wheels for faster acceleration. (Oshkosh and Scania collaborated to make one of the world’s leading engine manufacturer’s engines available on the new Oshkosh Striker 8×8.) The company’s TAK-4® all-wheel independent suspension and legendary all-wheel-drive componentry are also part of the chassis package.
Oshkosh机场产品工程总监Jason Shively和他的团队在车辆的开发中发挥了关键作用。他说：“双后排引擎对我们来说是第一个，也是真正的游戏规则改变者。”“目的是有效地将所有马力转化为地面，以产生更快的加速度并改善紧急响应时间。我们已经完成了这一任务，并将在当前的8×8上实现大量升级。”
When the Oshkosh Striker 8×8 shifts into pump-and-roll, or firefighting mode, one engine will switch over and be dedicated to the water pump and firefighting systems. These systems include triple-agent capabilities, a wide selection of bumper and roof turrets, and an available structural firefighting package. The Oshkosh exclusive Snozzle® HRET, with a hardened carbide steel tip, perforated nozzle, and increased range of motion (up to 280º), enables firefighters to discharge from five feet below grade to elevations as high as 65 feet, giving the apparatus maximum versatility while keeping firefighters further away from danger.
一个dvanced Technologies
In addition to its chassis and firefighting systems, the new Oshkosh Striker 8×8 will feature the latest advanced technologies. Among them is a 360-degree view “around-the-vehicle” camera system to provide unparalleled driver visibility, similar to systems found on higher-end autos and SUVs.
