Description
The Unimog is a range of multi-purpose tractors, trucks, and lorries that have been produced by Boehringer from 1948 until 1951, and by Daimler Truck (formerly Daimler-Benz, DaimlerChrysler and Daimler AG) since 1951. In the United States and Canada, the Unimog was sold as the Freightliner Unimog. The first model was designed by Albert Friedrich and Heinrich Rößler shortly after World War II to be used in agriculture as a self-propelled machine providing a power take-off to operate saws in forests or harvesting machines on fields. Due to their off-road capabilities, Unimogs can be found in jungles, mountains, and deserts as military vehicles, firefighters, expedition campers, and even in competitions like truck trials and Dakar Rally rally raids.
