Patented TAK-4® independent suspension system Play 00:00 01:01 PIP Enter fullscreen TAK-4® INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION Initially developed by Oshkosh Corporation, this independent suspension system has evolved into the gold standard of mobility for heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. The TAK-4® and TAK-4i systems increase mobility, off-road speed and load-carrying capacity, improving ride quality while lowering life-cycle costs. The technology is featured in Oshkosh Defense, Pierce and Oshkosh Airport vehicles around the world, helping critical personnel overcome daunting terrain at high speeds. Baja 1000 off-road racecourse map Undeterred by impossible There’s no roadmap for innovation. Our global team collaborates across industries and businesses to create products that change the way people and communities work — no matter the scope of the challenge. We are unflinching in our pursuit of possibility, constantly exploring new ways to design, test and refine the technologies that will move the world forward. From grueling desert races to partnerships with leading academic institutions, our sometimes unconventional approach consistently results in unprecedented outcomes. Racing the Baja 1000 Play 00:00 01:21 PIP Enter fullscreen RACING TOWARDS A GREATER IMPACT Military vehicles face uncertainty at every moment, and the Oshkosh Defense JLTV is no exception. In an effort to test the vehicle in extreme conditions similar to those found in a wide range of combat theaters, we raced our Light Combat Tactical Vehicle (hybrid predecessor of the JLTV) in the 2010 Baja 1000, a 1,061-mile race across Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. The LCTV accomplished what nearly 40 percent of racers failed to do — complete the challenging course. In doing so, we proved the performance of our prototype systems and battled our way back into the competition for the U.S. Military’s historic JLTV contract.
