Oshkosh Truck Corporation [NYSE: OSK], a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of specialty access equipment, commercial, fire, emergency and military vehicles and vehicle bodies, announces that it received a shareholders' vote of approval to change the company's name to Oshkosh Corporation.

"The new name more appropriately reflects the Company's diverse product lines, and establishes Oshkosh as the parent brand of well-established, market leading brands in our Access Equipment, Defense, Fire & Emergency, and Commercial segments," said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh Corporation chairman and chief executive officer. "The Oshkosh Corporation name still retains our remarkable history, but also allows room for growth and diversification of our products on a global scale."

Approved during the annual shareholders meeting held in Appleton, Wis., the name change will not affect the Company's NYSE stock ticker symbol, nor does it signal any changes in the management or policies of Oshkosh or its Board of Directors. Events and programs are
scheduled to roll out the Company's new corporate strategic rebranding identity initiatives throughout 2008. "Our strength has always been in the brands we produce under various nameplates, and we don't expect that to change," said Bohn.

Oshkosh Corporation manufactures, distributes and services products in four segments: Access Equipment, Defense, Fire & Emergency and Commercial; under the brands of: Oshkosh®, JLG®, Pierce®, McNeilus®, Medtec®, Jerr-Dan®, BAI®, Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles®, Frontline®, SMIT®, Geesink®, Norba®, Kiggen®, Con-E-Co®, London® and IMT®.
