Oshkosh Truck Finance, a division of Oshkosh Corporation, plays a vital role in facilitating the sale of the company’s specialized vehicles and equipment. They provide a range of financing and leasing options tailored to meet the diverse needs of their customers, who include municipalities, government agencies, and private enterprises operating in demanding sectors like defense, fire and emergency services, and construction. The primary goal is to make Oshkosh’s high-quality, purpose-built vehicles more accessible by offering competitive and flexible financial solutions.

One of the key advantages of working with Oshkosh Truck Finance is their deep understanding of the equipment they finance. Unlike general lenders, they possess specialized knowledge of the unique applications and residual values of Oshkosh vehicles. This expertise enables them to structure financing packages that accurately reflect the long-term value and earning potential of the equipment. This results in more favorable terms and lower overall costs for the borrower.

The financing options offered by Oshkosh Truck Finance typically include:

Loan financing: Traditional loans secured by the purchased vehicle. These loans generally feature fixed or variable interest rates and repayment terms ranging from several years to a decade, depending on the asset type and customer requirements. This option allows customers to build equity in the equipment over time.

Leasing: Offering various lease structures, including capital leases (where the customer essentially owns the equipment at the end of the lease term) and operating leases (where the customer rents the equipment for a specific period). Leasing can offer tax benefits and allows for predictable monthly payments, freeing up capital for other investments. Operating leases are particularly attractive for customers who prefer to regularly upgrade their equipment.

Municipal lease financing: Tailored for governmental entities, these leases often include a “non-appropriation” clause, which provides protection in the event that funding is not available in future budget cycles. This feature makes it easier for municipalities to acquire essential vehicles and equipment without incurring long-term debt obligations.

Beyond simply providing financing, Oshkosh Truck Finance aims to build long-term relationships with its customers. They offer personalized service and work closely with customers to understand their specific operational and financial needs. This consultative approach ensures that the financing package is perfectly aligned with the customer’s budget, cash flow, and long-term business goals. They can also assist with fleet management strategies and provide insights into optimal equipment utilization.

Accessing Oshkosh Truck Finance is generally streamlined through the company’s sales network. Customers can discuss their financing needs directly with sales representatives, who will then work with the finance team to develop a customized proposal. The application process is typically straightforward, requiring standard financial documentation and information about the intended use of the equipment. By integrating financing into the sales process, Oshkosh ensures a seamless and efficient experience for its customers, making it easier than ever to acquire the reliable and high-performance vehicles that Oshkosh is known for.
