CES 2026: Product innovation and insights
January 07, 2026
At CES 2026 (powered by the Consumer Technology Association®), Oshkosh Corporation is demonstrating how advanced technology can be purpose-built for everyday heroes. From autonomous job sites and intelligent airport ecosystems to safe roads and clean neighborhoods, Oshkosh is showcasing how autonomy, artificial intelligence, connectivity and electrification can offer future-ready solutions. Take a closer look at our portfolio of advanced technologies at CES; designed to promote safety, productivity, sustainability and total cost of ownership across critical industries.
What is Oshkosh showcasing at CES 2026?
The Oshkosh CES booth brings together multiple future-focused environments, including airports, job sites and neighborhoods. Each zone demonstrates how Oshkosh blends autonomy, AI, connectivity and electrification into intelligent ecosystems that support everyday heroes at work.
Live demonstrations, immersive displays and product experts help attendees understand not just what the technology is, but why it matters and how it translates into real-world outcomes.
“We’re moving from enabling jobs to executing jobs with intelligent systems — helping customers unlock safe, smart and productive operations.” - Nate Hoover, Senior Director Product Management, JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corporation business.
How is Oshkosh transforming job sites?
Oshkosh, through its JLG® brand, is redefining the job site of the future by connecting people, equipment, tools and materials into one intelligent ecosystem. Powered by ClearSky™ Smart Fleet technology, job sites gain real-time visibility, predictive diagnostics and machine-to-machine coordination.
Key demonstrations include:
-
An electric boom lift with an autonomous end effector system capable of performing repetitive tasks such as welding, painting and material handling at height.
-
Micro scissor lifts with leader-follower technology, allowing one operator to manage multiple machines.
These technologies help address workforce gaps, downtime and safety — turning complex job sites into coordinated, outcome-driven environments.

What does the airport of the future look like?
Oshkosh envisions airports that are safe, efficient and resilient through intelligent automation, connectivity and electrification.
Key CES highlights include:
Autonomous airport robots: A modular, robotic platform adapted for commercial aviation performs tasks such as aircraft chocking, cone placement, foreign object debris (FOD) detection, perimeter security and ground power connections. One platform supports many jobs, helping manage utilization and ROI.
“The Perfect Turn”: Powered by Oshkosh AeroTech™ iOPS® technology, it connects ground support equipment, passenger boarding bridges, autonomous robots and airport services into a single intelligent system. This can help airlines manage delays and optimize aircraft turnaround times from touchdown to takeoff.
Striker® Volterra® Electric ARFF vehicle: The Striker® Volterra® Electric ARFF combines electrification with uncompromised firefighting performance. With rapid acceleration, low-emission operation and ClearSky™ Intelligence connectivity, it helps firefighters respond fast while supporting sustainability goals.
Together, these solutions demonstrate how Oshkosh combines elements of autonomy, AI, connectivity and electrification to modernize airport operations without sacrificing safety or reliability.

How is Oshkosh reimagining community infrastructure?
At CES 2026, Oshkosh is highlighting technologies that support quiet, clean and safe neighborhoods.
Electric refuse and recycling collection: Battery-electric refuse vehicles help manage emissions and noise while maintaining the durability and performance required for daily operations.
HARR-E: HARR-E is an autonomous, electric refuse robot that enables on-demand trash and recycling pickup. Hailed via mobile app or digital assistant, HARR-E navigates autonomously, collects waste and returns to a central dumping location; helping manage curbside congestion, route efficiency and quality of life in planned communities.
Contamination detection technology: AI-powered cameras integrated into refuse and recycling vehicles detect contamination in real time as bins are emptied. By mapping contaminants back to their pickup location, municipalities and haulers gain actionable insights to aid recycling quality, landfill diversion and sustainability initiatives.
Delivery innovations: Connected delivery technologies designed to promote safety, durability and productivity to meet the realities of modern logistics. From automated package conveyance to intelligent route planning and autonomous systems, Oshkosh is laying the foundation for future autonomous support systems and robotics in last-mile delivery.

How is Oshkosh improving roadside safety?
CAMS is an AI-powered collision avoidance system designed to provide an added layer of awareness to first responders and roadside workers operating near moving traffic. Using radar, cameras and real-time AI processing, CAMS detects approaching vehicles and provides audible and visual alerts of an impending collision.
Developed through Oshkosh’s Pratt Miller Motorsports business and tested on Pierce® fire apparatus, CAMS brings motorsports-grade intelligence and performance to emergency response. The system is scalable beyond fire and EMS to industries such as refuse collection, towing, delivery and school transportation — giving everyday heroes who work roadside critical seconds to react when it matters most.
At CES 2026, Oshkosh Corporation is demonstrating what it means to be a global industrial technology leader.
By blending autonomy, artificial intelligence, connectivity and electrification into purpose-built solutions, Oshkosh is transforming airports, job sites and neighborhoods — helping support safe operations, smart workflows and sustainable communities.
