Human Factors
We were pushed out and called for taxi. We were given the instruction to taxi by Ground. There was a plane off to our left; [and] I had looked left for a second and all of a sudden on our right an Operations vehicle came towards us going approximately 50mph. The Captain had to slam on the brakes and the Operations truck slammed on their brakes and sharply turned the vehicle in order to not hit us. The Captain and myself were very shaken by this near miss. We reported the incident to Ground control.
B737NG First Officer reported abrupt braking was required to avoid a collision with a ground service truck during taxi.
