Around the turn of the years 1950/51, the Unimog team and the production equipment moved from Göppingen to Gaggenau where production of the Unimog began on 3 June - still with the ox head trademark and without the Mercedes star. The compact, just three-and-a-half metre long vehicle still made ends meet with 25 hp. Other features also remain unchanged, for instance the plain and practical driver's cab with folding top, the all-wheel drive and the chassis with its four equal-sized wheels. Its simple as well as ingenious design had already proved its astounding performance capabilities. |
