'The M-ATV's introduction to Europe will provide an excellent opportunity for international militaries to get a good look at this high-performance vehicle'

(Ohkosh, Wis., January 29, 2010) -- Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), will be featuring the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) in its European debut at the International Armoured Vehicle Exhibition 2010, which is taking place Feb. 2-3 at the ExCel Centre in London. Also on display at the Oshkosh booth will be the company's protected, multi-role SandCat vehicle.

The M-ATV is now operational in Afghanistan and was designed to provide exceptional protection and superior mobility for operations on the country's rugged, mountainous terrain and unimproved road networks. Oshkosh Defense has received orders from the U.S. military to produce 6,619 M-ATVs and has ramped up production to more than 1,000 vehicles per month in response to an urgent need for the vehicle.

"The M-ATV's introduction to Europe will provide an excellent opportunity for international militaries to get a good look at this high-performance vehicle and learn more about how it can enhance the capabilities of their fleets," said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Defense. "It is a well-protected and highly mobile vehicle that was designed to thrive in combat operations in the harshest cross-country environments."
