OSHKOSH, WIS. (March 30, 2017) – Oshkosh Airport Products LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) company, is offering Scania brand engines as an option on a wider selection of its aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF). The entire lineup of Oshkosh® Striker® ARFF apparatus can now be specified with Scania engines. 

Scania is a leading provider of low emission engines that meet Stage V and Tier 4 Final standards through selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and without requiring diesel particulate filters. Additionally, Scania’s engines meet all current emission legislation worldwide. 

“We are continuing to expand our alliance with Scania to better meet the varied engine requirements of our customers,” said Jeff Resch, Oshkosh Airport Products vice president and general manager. “Scania features industry-leading technology and reliability, as well as an excellent worldwide parts, service and support network. That’s a winning combination.” 

The Oshkosh Striker 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 ARFF vehicles can now be specified with Scania’s DC16 engine in horsepower’s up to 770 hp. “Scania Tier 4 Final engines deliver excellent performance without the need for particulate filters,” explains Jason Shively, Oshkosh Airport Products Director of Engineering. This is especially beneficial in colder climates and in situations where engine regeneration is not practical - such as an airport emergency response.” 

The all-new Oshkosh Striker 8x8, for example, is powered by a pair of rear-mounted Scania low emission engines generating up to 1,540 total hp, making it the most powerful and capable ARFF vehicle in the company’s history.
