Oshkosh is the truck brand of Oshkosh Corporation, a Wisconsin builder of specialty and military vehicles that began as the Wisconsin Duplex Auto Company in 1917 to make a severe-duty four-wheel-drive truck. Its first prototype, known today as Old Betsy, still runs, and the first mass-produced truck was the 2-ton Model A, of which seven were built in 1918. The brand grew through the Model TR, the first rubber-tired earthmover, the 1955 Model 50-50, the first truck made specifically to haul concrete, and aircraft rescue and firefighting trucks and airport snow-removal and tow tractors. In 1976 it won a United States Army contract for 744 M911 heavy equipment transporters, the start of a run of contracts that made Oshkosh Defense the sole supplier of medium and heavy tactical trucks to the Army and Marines. Later landmarks include the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle award of 2015, the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles A2 contract of 2018 and the Postal Service Next Generation Delivery Vehicle award of 2021. Pierce, McNeilus and Jerr-Dan are separate brands of the same corporation.
