Created during the hard times following the end of WW II, the tough Mercedes-Benz Unimog is one of the few truly still-living legends of legendary automobiles still in production. Over decades, the Unimog has proved itself worldwide as a versatile implement carrier and transport vehicle; roughly 380,000 vehicles have been produced to date. What remains unchanged is its basic idea: four wheels, equal in size, outstanding off-road mobility due to its portal axles, four-wheel drive and differential locks at front and back, compact dimensions and – last but not least – its ability to provide power for a great variety of attached and mounted implements. The series production vehicle known as the “Universal-Motor-Gerät (tool)” – abbreviated to Unimog – has been proudly bearing the Mercedes star since 1951.
