Vehicle concept

Built for extremes.

For 80 years, the Unimog has stood for exceptional off-road capability. Armed forces all over the world use it as a troop and logistics vehicle. With a payload of up to 5 tonnes and a fording capability of up to 1.2 metres, it is suitable as a carrier for pioneer, CBRN or fire service and ambulance bodies as well as civil protection.

The Unimog also stands out with its extreme versatility and robustness. With its all-wheel drive, portal axles and high ground clearance, it masters even difficult terrain with ease.
