Extreme off-road Unimog
Built for extremes.
If your everyday life involves extreme terrain, extreme weather conditions, or extreme tasks, you have a powerhouse at your side with the extreme off-road Unimog, which is not only reliable but also extremely robust.
Highlights
Setting standards with the Unimog.
Where the road ends, the path for the extreme off-road Unimog begins: All-wheel drive, high fording capability, and the extremely twistable chassis make it possible. This is how you bring teams, materials, or heavy equipment to remote deployment sites.
- Three attachment and implement spaces
- 30° axle articulation
- 1.2 m fording depth
With the Unimog, you get more than just a vehicle. Standardised implement and attachment options mean that the range of applications is virtually limitless.
Drives
On the road with momentum.
Whether you're on the motorways at up to 89 km/h or moving at walking pace: With the Unimog, you cut efficiently at any speed range. Because your truck has a drivetrain with efficient engines from Mercedes‑Benz Trucks as well as a powerful transmission, allowing it to handle high payloads with its robust axles.
- 8-speed EPS transmission with off-road gear group
- Automated gearshift (EAS)
- Engageable all-wheel drive
- Electronic Quick Reverse (reversing gearshift)
Attachment options
Versatile off-road.
Mechanical, hydraulic and electric drives as well as interfaces open up numerous opportunities for different implements and bodies. Mercedes‑Benz Trucks has been cooperating with international equipment manufacturers and bodybuilders for decades. The standardised attachment points make it easy to attach bodies and change implements.
Attachment options.
Sets the standards off-road.
Whether your mission takes you across gravel, snow, sand or unpaved roads: The extreme off-road Unimog gets through it when others give up. And it brings has the necessary tools on board so you can accomplish your tasks on-site.
Versatile attachment options.
With numerous standardised attachment points, you can securely and stably attach accessories and attachments.
- Standardised front mounting plate for attachments up to 1.5 t
- Mounting brackets for compressors or major assemblies
- Winch holder
- Frame mounting brackets
- Mounting parts for platforms or box bodies
- Subframe for special bodies
If, for example, you want to use water pumps or hydraulic pumps, the engine-powered PTO offers versatile deployment potential. Optionally, you can also opt for the proven transmission PTOs, for example, a fast one for hydraulic pumps and a very fast one for fire service pumps. The special subframe is used for the torsion-free mounting of platforms or box bodies.
Group dynamics.
If you want to transport not only materials but also many people, you can order the Unimog with a double cab. The front seat bench has space for 3 people, the rear bench offers 4 seats, allowing you to transport a total of 7 people. The rear bench comes with individual seat belts, is foldable, and provides plenty of storage space underneath for tools, equipment, or personal items. The crew can easily get in and out through 4 wide-opening doors. And if you need extra comfort, you can opt for 2 air-sprung individual seats instead of the rear bench.
Off-road capability
Barely any obstacles.
The extreme off-road Unimog combines high ground clearance with a low centre of gravity. This provides you with maximum stability even on steep terrain and enables highly flexible movement across challenging terrain.
Off-road capability.
Unique frame design.
Thanks to the offset vehicle frame, the heart of the Unimog’s off-road capability, you remain flexible and stable in any application. The cranked design, together with the portal axles, enables high ground clearance with a low vehicle centre of gravity. And because the frame is fully welded, it can permanently withstand torsional stress. Its torsional flexibility, combined with torque tube technology and the three-point mounting of the engine, transmission, cab, and bodies, allows a diagonal articulation of up to 600 mm.
The axle connection via torque tube, thrust ball on the transmission, and coil springs with vast spring travel allows for axle articulation up to 30°, ensuring easy handling and high levels of grip. The encapsulation protects the Unimog’s drive shafts from contamination such as dust, water, and other environmental factors encountered off-road.
The typical portal axles of the Unimog offer you great ground clearance with a low vehicle centre of gravity. And with the asymmetrical arrangement of the axle differentials, you can more easily drive over obstacles. The axle suspension is reinforced and can withstand very heavy loads. The axle layout is also designed to be robust: This makes high standard load ratings possible.
