Episode description

Electric and autonomous vehicle advancements are going beyond your everyday passenger vehicle. Oshkosh Corporation is working to bring the next wave of industrial vehicle innovations to everyday heroes from USPS vehicles to firetrucks. On this episode of CES Tech Talk, discover these latest advancements with Jay Iyengar, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology and Strategic Sourcing Officer at Oshkosh Corporation. Listen along as we discuss these exciting topics surrounding the future of vehicle tech:

  • How "moments of autonomy" can boost productivity, including jet bridges that can dock themselves to planes within inches, saving airlines thousands per hour.
  • Purpose-built vehicle technology allows everyday heroes to operate more safely and sustainably as they provide services essential for society.
  • Former delivery vehicles, dating back to the 1980s, were noisy, hot, and fuel-inefficient. These Oshkosh vehicles are equipped with AC and modern safety features like airbags, 360-cameras and blind-spot monitoring, boasting a significant upgrade.
  • The Postal Service plans to add 60,000 next-gen vehicles to its fleet, with a significant number being electric, all part of a $40 billion transformation!
