Scania Delivers Engines for Oshkosh Airport Products’
Striker 8x8 ARFF Vehicle

Already supplying engines for the Oshkosh Striker 4x4, 6x6, Scania is now the exclusive supplier of engines for the new, Striker 8x8 ARFF Vehicle.

The new Striker 8x8, powered by a pair of rear-mounted Scania DC16 770 hp, Tier 4 final engines, makes this the most powerful and capable ARFF vehicle in Oshkosh’s history. This new product was launched at the 2017 Fire Department Instructors Conference, held last April in Indianapolis, Indiana.

“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.”

“We are so proud to be the sole supplier of engines for the all-new Striker 8x8 ARFF vehicle,” says Art Schuchert, Scania USA’s Sales and Marketing director. “It is very satisfying to see the end result of what has been a very smooth collaboration between our two companies during the prototyping process. This new ARFF vehicle is truly magnificent, and we expect Oshkosh to have a very successful market introduction.”
