Oshkosh wins major snow blower and sweeper order in China. Biglorryblog has the news and the pictures.

Thanks to my regular Presspass@BusinessWire.com news alert I can tell Biglorryblog readers that Oshkosh Truck Corporation's Airport Products Group has won a $10.6m order from the Beijing Capital International Airport for 26 Oshkosh of its H-Series snow removal vehicles consisting of 24 front-mounted broom units (that's one of them above) and two high-speed blowers (pictured below).

Meanwhile, Oshkosh has a great website...Biglorryblog recommends you check it out!

All the units will be delivered by the fall of 2008, and will be commissioned and in service for the 2008-2009 snow season. One can't help wondering, consdiering all the snow they've had lately, if they wouldn't like them now...

“This is Oshkosh’s largest order from the People’s Republic of China, and one of the largest single orders ever for the H-Series line of chassis," Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh chairman and chief executive officer tells Biglorryblog. "Our ability to provide the world’s most technologically advanced and innovative snow removal vehicles, plus around-the-clock local support through our dedicated Oshkosh facility in Beijing, were critical in Oshkosh being awarded this prestigious contract,” adds Bohn.

Not that Oshkosh is any stranger to selling its splendid vehicles in China. In September 2007, it received an order for six of its Striker aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicles for the Beijing Capital International Airport delivered in time for the summer 2008 Olympics.
