At CES 2026, Oshkosh Corporation unveiled the Striker Volterra Electric 6×6 Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle, a 93,000-pound electric fire truck designed specifically for airport emergency response. Already in active service at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the vehicle won a CES “Best of Innovation” award in the Travel and Tourism category. The Striker Volterra exemplifies how electrification can enhance rapid emergency response and sustainability in critical aviation environments, delivering 28% faster acceleration than diesel-only counterparts due to its electric low-end torque. The vehicle operates primarily in electric mode for routine airport fire operations, which make up 80–90% of activity, allowing for four to five days of normal use on a single charge. It reduces diesel exhaust exposure for firefighters by eliminating emissions during station entry, standby, and low-speed movement, improving working conditions and aligning with airport sustainability goals. Importantly, the Striker Volterra includes a hybrid redundancy system
