OSHKOSH, WIS. (June 4, 2007) - Oshkosh Truck Corporation [NYSE: OSK] today introduced the new HT-Series™ snow tractor at the Airfield Operations Area (AOA) annual conference in Milwaukee, Wis. The HT-Series snow tractor is engineered and designed as a Multi-Tasking Equipment (MTE) vehicle and is built specifically for airport snow removal operations. The product’s unveiling was broadcast live on the Internet beginning at 7:45 AM CDT this morning at www.oshkoshtruck.com/unveiling. Following the live broadcast, the program will be available on-demand at the same website.

A multi-tasking, all-purpose vehicle in the truest sense of the word, the HT-Series snow tractor can perform a myriad of functions, including plowing, brooming, scraping and deicing.

“We’ve spent a great deal of time and resources meeting with our customers to discuss their needs and priorities for multi-tasking equipment,” said Tim Kiefer, vice president of Airport/ Municipal Products at Oshkosh Truck. “The result is the HT-Series snow tractor. It’s the most versatile and best performing multi-tasking unit available today and will lead the segment in North America from day one.”

The HT-Series snow tractor offers superior maneuverability with larger plows and brooms. When teamed with the available ALL STEER® electronic all-wheel steering system, it can complete a runway U-turn within just 75 feet, wall to wall, with a 24-foot plow. When outfitted with a combination of front plow and a tow-behind steered broom, the HT-Series can produce an open runway faster than comparable snow and ice removal vehicles.

“Multi-tasking equipment is a growing trend in the industry, and it’s something we’ve been researching and developing for the past 2 years to improve the state-of-the-art,” said Kiefer. “When properly outfitted, the HT-Series snow tractor can dramatically reduce the amount of time and personnel required to clear a runway.”

The vehicle features a state-of-the-art cab introduced last year on the H-Series™ chassis. This cab offers a wrap-around front windshield that has no corner post blind spots, and rear three-quarter and lower front windows that give the operator a birds-eye view of all attachments and mounts. The cab also features conveniently located controls and a compact electronic dash pod to maximize visibility and create a more focused and safe driving environment for the operator. Additionally, an optional air-ride second seat has been added to comfortably accommodate a supervisor or trainer through an entire shift. Power windows, automotive style “set-it-and-forget-it” digital climate controls, and even two cup holders are included.
