Oshkosh Truck Expands Parts Ordering and Support to the Internet
OSHKOSH, Wis.--Feb. 1, 2001--Oshkosh Truck Corporation is expanding availability of truck parts manuals and ordering to the Internet, beginning February 15, 2001. The company has converted the paper parts manuals for most of its commercial models to electronic versions available via the Web. Customers can log on to the company's new web site at www.otcmanuals.com or from a link on the company's existing web site, www.oshkoshtruck.com. The site allows customers to identify and order truck parts quickly and easily. Parts orders submitted via e-mail are automatically routed to the closest Oshkosh service location to speed delivery.
"This new site is part of our strategy of leveraging technology to deliver the best possible support to our customers, because for them uptime and readiness are a priority. It offers three important benefits -- immediate parts information, a centralized resource, simplified parts ordering -- to speed delivery," said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh's chairman, president and chief executive officer.
The site contains extensive parts information for 1997 model year or newer Oshkosh S-Series concrete mixers, F-Series trucks, Highland trucks, T-Series aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles, P-Series plow trucks, H-Series snow removal vehicles, and MPT-Series plow trucks, including over 6,000 illustrations and 3,500 detailed component breakdowns. Customers can search for items by part name or number. Information is customized for a specific truck via serial number.
