Oshkosh Corporation, Global Innovator in Purpose-Built Vehicles and Equipment, Joins Together for Safer Roads to Improve Fleet Safety
Will Support TSR’s Direct Vision Vehicle Design Initiatives
New York, NY (April 23, 2025) — Together for Safer Roads (TSR), a leading non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing road safety through cross-sector collaboration and technological innovation, proudly announces the addition of Oshkosh Corporation as its newest member. Oshkosh’s deep and longstanding commitment to best-in-class innovation and design in the transportation sector aligns closely with TSR’s commitment to advancing global fleet safety and will further strengthen the organization’s various initiatives.
Oshkosh Corporation and its global reach spans numerous brands, all leaders in vehicle design centered on safety, technology, and sustainability. From its standard, automated, and heavy-duty collection trucks, to the all-electric Volterra refuse trucks, to next-generation zero-emission delivery vehicles, to the advanced S-Series Concrete Mixer and a variety of specialty trucks, designs purpose-built vehicles and equipment with advanced technology that empowers everyday heroes by making some of the most challenging jobs in the world safe, intuitive and productive.
“We are delighted to welcome Oshkosh Corporation as the newest member of Together for Safer Roads,” said Peter Goldwasser, TSR’s Executive Director. “The company’s leadership and expertise on innovation, developing high-vision vehicles, and integrating cutting-edge safety technologies for operators across industries will significantly contribute to our ongoing fleet safety initiatives. Working together we will advance our shared road safety goals.”
In particular, Oshkosh subsidiary McNeilus, headquartered in Dodge Center, Minnesota, has long been recognized for its dedication to designing and manufacturing refuse collection vehicles with enhanced visibility, ergonomic driver experiences, and advanced safety features. With a focus on reducing blind zones, integrating collision mitigation systems, and utilizing telematics for fleet safety optimization, McNeilus continues to be a leader in building smarter and safer vehicles for the waste and recycling industry.
“Safety is at the core of everything we do at McNeilus,” said Lee Dreas, McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. VP & General Manager. “Joining Together for Safer Roads allows us to further our mission of making fleets safer by sharing our expertise and collaborating with industry leaders to advance road safety solutions. We look forward to working together to improve fleet and workplace safety and protect drivers, pedestrians, and communities alike.”
“We are delighted to welcome Oshkosh and its deep knowledge and expertise to TSR. As leaders in dynamic vehicle design and safety innovation, we know they will provide invaluable leadership and real-world insights across our programming,” added Andres Peñate, Together for Safer Roads Board Chair and Global VP Corporate Affairs at Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Oshkosh’s membership follows their appointment last month as a co-chair of one of TSR’s newest initiatives: The Direct Vision Leadership Council, a group of leading stakeholders from across the industry who will work to expand the use of safer, high-vision trucks in the North American market.
