APPLETON, Wis. (October 11, 2021) – Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) Fire & Emergency segment is displaying the new Oshkosh® Striker® ARFF vehicle at China Fire 2021. The new vehicle will be displayed at Oshkosh’s China Fire booth, located at site E1-04. In addition to the new Striker ARFF, the booth will feature the latest fire and emergency vehicles and technology.
“Even amidst the global pandemic, China’s strong economic growth has resulted in a heightened need for advanced fire protection and resources, particularly in provinces with considerable urbanization growth,” said Jim Johnson, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Fire & Emergency. “Oshkosh’s fire and emergency segment remains committed to focusing on the needs of global markets and developing fire apparatus innovations that align with the unique needs of communities and airports of all sizes.”
In 2019, 60-percent of the world’s “super-tall” buildings were under construction in China, and currently, the country ranks number one for the most skyscrapers over 150 meters. The same year, the Pierce® Ultra Highrise Pumper (UHRP) was introduced to support China’s development of buildings reaching extraordinary heights. China is also one of the largest aviation markets globally. At China Fire 2021, the next generation Striker ARFF vehicle will be unveiled on October 12 at 12:00 pm at Oshkosh’s China Fire booth. All attendees are invited to take part in the fire apparatus introduction and educational session.
Features of the new Oshkosh Striker ARFF vehicle include:
“The new Striker ARFF vehicle supports airports of all sizes with its newly optimized features and our trusted network of sales and service partners ready to provide support in locations around the globe, including China,” said Salim Hawi, vice president of international sales for Oshkosh Corporation. “We are confident the future of the aviation industry is bright and will continue to grow as the world becomes more connected in the years ahead. ARFF will continue to be essential in the protection of the traveling public, as airports remain the gateway for communities’ economic access and leisure travel.”
Oshkosh’s China Fire booth will also provide educational kiosks featuring other fire apparatus innovations including the Volterra™ Platform of Electric Vehicles.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
