Today we remember one of the most versatile vehicles ever: the Mercedes Unimog.
For those who can't do without introductions, Unimog (from the German " UNI versal- MO tor- G erät”) is a famous Mercedes-Benz all-terrain truck sub-brand. With a long history in the service of firefighters, police, rescue teams or simply as an all-terrain vehicle, Unimog started by producing vehicles designed for agriculture, in a more versatile role than the traditional tractor, namely in terms of mobility in road, but soon began to perform an enormous multiplicity of tasks.RELATED: Perforated, grooved, or smooth discs. What is the best option?
One of the legacies of this agricultural past was the width between wheelsets of 1.20 m, which corresponded exactly to the distance between two rows of a potato plantation. Thanks to their versatility, the Unimog models ended up becoming one of the main "workhorses" of German reconstruction after World War II.
During these 70 years of life, Mercedes Unimog has changed a lot, but its initial characteristics have remained: versatility, reliability and ease of use.
