Heritage
80 years of the Unimog. Courage creates the possible.
In the beginning, there was courage. And conviction. In 1946 Albert Friedrich was determined to develop a vehicle for everything: it should be as robust as a tractor, as fast as a car and as versatile as a tool. His plan worked: the universal motor device was born.
In the iciest winter as well as in the driest summer
At 1,000 m altitude or in water up to 1.20 m deep: For 80 years the Unimog has been shouldering heavy loads, extinguishing forest fires, pulling freight trains and reliably handling the most demanding tasks for municipalities and private companies.
Versatility and the will to make the impossible possible. These are the two characteristics that define the Unimog, make it incomparable and explain the impressive success it has enjoyed to this day.
