The Unimog

A legend in its time

There are many classic automobiles, many of which have faded into history. Not so with the Mercedes-Benz Unimog: created in the hard times immediately following World War II, the indestructible Unimog has long been a living legend in automotive engineering.
Hard-working Jack-of-all-trades
The Unimog (Universal-Motor-Gerät, universally applicable motorized implement carrier) remains steadfast and undeterred, both during operations under the toughest conditions and in different economic situations with changing buyer groups. And no wonder: the Unimog is able to master extreme terrain, tow entire goods trains, can be used as a roadrailer and has space for a wide variety of implements.

Over several decades the Unimog has gained an outstanding reputation as a hard-working Jack-of-all-trades all over the world. The basic concept has remained unchanged: enormous versatility for applications of all kinds, extreme all-terrain capability by virtue of all-wheel drive, portal axles and differential locks front and rear, a compact cab, great robustness and scope for mounting a wide variety of implements.
