Municipal & waste disposal

The Ennskraftwerke in Austria rely on the Unimog U 323. At the Thurnsdorf power plant the dam wall is only two and a half metres wide. A conventional crane doesn't get you very far there. Therefore the decision for a new model from Wörth was easy: the Unimog handles the local conditions well.

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks puts the Unimog implement carrier through its paces on the Grossglockner at an altitude of 2,500 m. The focus is on the UNI-TOUCH® control system.

With the new Unimog U 527, now only one basic vehicle needs to be maintained, fuelled and stored, but it does the work of three.
