                TEREX ANNOUNCES NEW MANAGEMENT FOR MINING SEGMENT

         WESTPORT, CT, January 23, 2004 - Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today
announced that Rick Nichols has been named to the position of President of Terex
Materials Processing and Mining. The Unit Rig truck and O&K Mining shovel

customers that is compelling and unmatched by our competition. Our mining

productivity advantage," commented Ronald DeFeo. "We have a lot to do in order
to deliver on this promise, but this new focus moves us closer to the customer,
which is always a good thing."

         "Rick has made progress at the Material Processing businesses and with
his significant experience with our Mining business can bring this customer
focus to fruition," added Mr. DeFeo. Rick joined Terex Mining as Vice President
of Operations in 1999 from Allied Signal. He was promoted to General Manager of
Materials Processing in early 2003. He will continue to reside in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.
