Oshkosh Corporation, a leading designer and manufacturer of specialty and off-road vehicles and technologies, is participating in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 for the first time. The company is racing two Light Concept Vehicles (LCV) as part of its rigorous testing for next-generation suspension and powertrain technologies.
The LCV represent leading edge technologies – the ProPulse¨ diesel-electric powertrain and new TAK-4¨ independent suspension system. The ProPulse 400hp diesel-electric powertrain features improved fuel economy compared to existing fleets and ability to export significant levels of electrical power, while speeds up to 90mph. The new independent suspension with larger shock absorption for off-road mobility allows 20 inches of wheel travel.
Oshkosh entered two LCVs, numbered M1 and M2, driven by members of California Gold Racing, led by Glenn Harris.
