Stars
Vocational Segment Municipal Fire Apparatus
Vocational segment (Pierce) is a Star: revenues jumped 18.9% in late 2025, driven by municipal fire apparatus demand and a record backlog exceeding $6.6 billion, giving Pierce clear North American market dominance.
Oshkosh is scaling capacity with a $150 million investment in facility expansion and robotics to cut lead times and convert backlog to revenue faster; this supports sustained high growth and market share retention.
Next Generation Delivery Vehicle NGDV
As a Star in Oshkosh's BCG matrix, the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV) anchors the Transport segment with a $6.0 billion U.S. Postal Service contract and positions Oshkosh as first-to-market in federal fleet electrification.
Production ramps to full capacity by 2026; NGDV drove a 52% rise in Transport operating income in Q4 2025, and is forecast to lift segment revenue by roughly $900 million in 2026.
Airport Products and Passenger Boarding Bridges
Within Vocational, Airport Products and Passenger Boarding Bridges rank as Stars: global air traffic rose 67% vs 2021 to 5.1 billion passengers in 2024, fueling 18% revenue growth in Oshkosh’s airport systems in FY2024 and a market share above 40% in key markets.
Electric ground support equipment adoption lifted ASPs and margins; boarding-bridge orders grew 34% YoY, supporting double-digit operating margins (≈12–15%) and a multi-year order backlog of ~$850 million as of Dec 31, 2024.
Electric Refuse Collection Vehicles
The McNeilus Volterra electric refuse line is a Star: 2024 revenue estimated at $120m and unit growth ~65% YoY as municipalities push for 2030/2040 zero-emission targets; it holds ~18% share of US electric refuse truck orders through Q3 2025.
AI bin-detection and autonomous features raise ASP to ~$380k/vehicle, driving heavy R&D spend (~$45m in 2024) but making Volterra central to Oshkosh’s electrified vocational strategy.
- 2024 revenue ~$120m, 65% YoY growth
- ~18% US market share through Q3 2025
- ASP ~$380k; 2024 R&D ~$45m
- Key for 2030/2040 zero-emission municipal targets
AUSA and Hinowa Specialty Access Equipment
Recent acquisitions AUSA (2023, compact dumpers) and Hinowa (2024, tracked aerial platforms) pushed Oshkosh into high-growth European and agricultural equipment niches, adding roughly $420m in incremental annual revenue and lifting Access segment pro forma market share to ~22% in EMEA by 2025.
These specialty brands supply compact, high-margin units that fit JLG’s lineup, driving segment organic growth of ~12% YoY and improving gross margins by ~180 basis points through cross-selling and parts leverage.
Integrated into Oshkosh’s global distribution, AUSA and Hinowa are being positioned as BCG Stars—high market share in fast-growing markets—with capex allocation rising to 15% of Access spend in 2025 to scale production and service.
- 2025 pro forma revenue contribution: ~$420m
- EMEA Access market share: ~22% (2025)
- Access segment organic growth: ~12% YoY
- Gross margin improvement: +180 bps
- Capex share for Access: 15% (2025)

Cash Cows
JLG Aerial Work Platforms
JLG Aerial Work Platforms remains the global market leader, supplying steady cash flow that funds Oshkosh's electric initiatives; in 2025 JLG sales fell 1.9% year-over-year as North American construction softened, yet market share stayed above 30% globally.
The segment is highly efficient: operating margins near 12% in 2025 and ROIC around 15% outperforming Oshkosh defense projects, requiring lower incremental capital expenditure relative to high-growth divisions.
McNeilus Traditional Refuse Collection Vehicles
McNeilus traditional internal-combustion refuse trucks remain cash cows, holding an estimated 30–40% share of North American residential/commercial rear-loader markets in 2024 and benefiting from 8–12 year municipal/private replacement cycles.
These models delivered steady gross margins near 18–22% for Oshkosh Corporation in FY2024, generating roughly $300–400M in recurring operating cash to fund R&D for electric and autonomous waste platforms.
Jerr-Dan Towing and Recovery Equipment
Jerr-Dan Towing and Recovery Equipment leads the US towing market with roughly 25% share in medium/heavy wreckers (2024 estimates) and operates in a mature, steady-demand segment where annual replacement cycles and municipal purchases keep revenue stable.
Compared with Oshkosh’s high-tech defense and fire vehicles, Jerr-Dan needs minimal marketing and capital expenditure—capex was ~2–3% of segment sales in 2024 versus double digits for defense R&D.
It consistently contributes positive free cash flow; Jerr-Dan generated an estimated $75–95 million FCF in 2024, helping service corporate debt and support dividends.
Frontline Communications Special Purpose Vehicles
Frontline Communications Special Purpose Vehicles holds a dominant share in the niche broadcast/command vehicle market, serving government and media clients with specialized rigs; FY2024 revenue ~USD 185m and EBIT margin ~14%, reflecting high efficiency in a mature, low-growth segment.
Its service contracts and long-term fleet leases create predictable revenue that offset Oshkosh’s construction-cycle exposure, contributing roughly 6% of consolidated revenue and reducing quarterly EBITDA volatility.
- FY2024 revenue ~USD 185m
- EBIT margin ~14%
- ~6% of Oshkosh consolidated revenue
- Stable contract & lease revenue
Pierce Traditional Fire Apparatus
Pierce Traditional pumper and ladder lines remain market leaders with ~35% U.S. municipal market share (2024 NFPA procurement data) and >10 years average fleet service life, driving high repeat purchases and price premiums.
Decades of engineering, a 1,200‑site service network, and >$400m annual aftermarket revenue give Pierce stable cash flow that funds Oshkosh’s Volterra EV R&D and pilot production investments.
- ~35% U.S. share (2024)
- $400m+ annual aftermarket
- 1,200 service locations
- Supports Volterra R&D & pilots
