A proper ‘SUV’ — Unimog have a super utility vehicle

AS ONE of the most iconic names in off-roading, Unimog conjures up instant ideas of go-anywhere travel and rugged all-weather usability. 

It’s been around for close to 70 years now, and we’ve been granted a go behind the wheel of one of its latest models.

Unimogs are used in all manner of sectors, from agriculture all the way through to fire and disaster relief. There are even railroad versions, capable of driving on train tracks, and Cumbria County Council in the UK uses them to help clear high fell routes from snow.
