Kusukela eJalimane " I-UNI okuhlukahlukene- MO i-tor- G erat", noma Unimog kubangani, namuhla iwuhlobo oluncane lwendawo yonke yakwaMercedes-Benz eyakhiwe yiloli elihamba kuzo zonke izindawo, ezinguqulweni eziningi, ezilungele noma iyiphi isevisi.
Futhi uma sithi kuyo yonke insizakalo, ingeyayo yonke isevisi: siyithola njengezimoto ezisebenzela umbutho wezokuvikela (izicishamlilo, ezokutakula, amaphoyisa), amathimba okunakekela (isitimela, ugesi, njll.), noma-ke njengenye ye izimoto ezihamba phambili zomgwaqo.
Selokhu yavela ngo-1948, kusheshe kwaqashelwa ukuthi inamandla amakhulu kunemisebenzi yezolimo eyayisungulelwe yona ekuqaleni.
Ehlobo lika-1950, ngemva kokujabulela impumelelo enkulu lapho ikhonjiswa embukisweni wezolimo we-Deutschen Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft (DLG, noma i-German Agricultural Society) eFrankfurt, i-Boehringer Bros eyaklama futhi yakhiqiza imoto, yabona ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kuzokwenziwa. okudingekayo ukubhekana nakho. isidingo esikhulu i-Unimog esihlangabezene nayo ekuqaleni.

Kodwa-ke, kule nkathi yangemva kwempi, lapho kukhona ukukhula komnotho okusheshayo, ukuhlinzekwa kwe-OM 636 ku-Unimog akuzange kuqinisekiswe ngokugcwele u-Daimler. Inkampani yokwakha yaseJalimane yafuna ukwanelisa izidingo zayo, ezafinyelela emikhawulweni yamandla ayo okukhiqiza. Ngakho-ke uma i-OM 636 yayizofakwa emotweni, okwakubaluleke kakhulu kwakuwukuba, ngokumangazayo, ukuyibeka ezimotweni zabo.
