The record

Oshkosh built airport crash trucks from the 1970s (the P-4, M-series and T-series) and replaced them with the Striker in 2001; the 2010 generation added the TAK-4 suspension and the electronic foam system, and the type serves airports on every continent.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
