The new vehicle will be displayed at the Oshkosh Corporation booth, located at open-air site (FG) Stand M06/3. Upon the completion of its debut at Interschutz, the Oshkosh XP fire apparatus is launching a demonstration tour across the Middle East.

“The new Oshkosh XP fire apparatus is built in state-of-the-art facilities with the highest quality materials by North America’s leading manufacturer, and comes to market ready to meet the needs of firefighters around the globe,” said Jim Johnson, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Fire & Emergency. “We are entering this market segment with a fully integrated and well-equipped product, along with a service and support network that is second to none.
