The project was developed in collaboration with Hellgeth Engineering, and marks a milestone in the run-up to the Unimog's 80th anniversary celebrations, which will take place next year.
The new model is designed to combine the legendary off-road capabilities of the Unimog, designed for particularly difficult civilian and military missions, with a level of comfort, design, and engineering never before seen in the category. This is a one-off demonstration vehicle that will be tested in the field under real-world conditions over the coming year, with the aim of gathering insights for potential future developments.
The luxurious Unimog is based on the Unimog U 4023 model, and features portal axles, a flexible chassis, selectable all-wheel drive, and differential locks on both axles, ensuring grip and control even in challenging off-road conditions.
