MERCEDES UNIMOG TRUCK




































The Unimog (from the German "UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät", meaning "universal motor machine/equipment") is a range of trucks produced by Mercedes-Benz (now a division of DaimlerChrysler AG). The first model was designed shortly after WWII, originally to be used as slow-moving tractors for Germany's turnip harvest.
New Unimogs can be purchased on all major continents. Unimogs are common in Western Europe, where they are used as snow plows, military vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural implements, and municipal equipment carriers.
In 2006, Unimogs can be purchased in either of two series. There is a medium series 405, also known as the UGN ("Geräteträger" or equipment carrier), which is available in the U300-U500 model. There is also the heavy series 437, also known as the UHN ("Hochgeländegängig" or highly mobile cross country), which is available as the U3000-U5000 model.
