OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- Oshkosh Truck Corporation has received a $10.6 million order from Beijing Capital International Airport.

The airport wants 26 snow removal vehicles by this fall.

That includes 24 front-mounted broom units and two high-speed blower units for the major airport in China.

They plan to use the machines during the 2008-2009 snow season.

Suggest removal

Doesn't make much of a dent in a 200-250 billion dollar trade deficit, but I guess it all helps. Maybe they can up their order to $10b.
