Unveiling of the new Unimog Euro6

During this year's "Agritechnica 2013" exhibition (Hannover, November 10 - 16), which concerns the agricultural sector, Daimler AG presented both the new Mercedes-Benz Arocs in specially designed versions and - mainly - the new generation of the Unimog, a vehicle that has deservedly won the title of the most efficient truck in the "special mission" vehicle sector.

Euro6 emissions and reduced consumption by 3%

Undoubtedly, the most important feature of the new generation of Unimog, which includes a complete range of versions (from U216 to U530), are the new engines of the BlueEfficiency Power family that meet the strictest specifications of the Euro6 protocol regarding their emissions.

The three 4-cylinder and two 6-cylinder engines in the new Unimog range deliver power from 156 - 299 horsepower and are distinguished by their significantly reduced fuel consumption, which, depending on the use of the vehicle, ranges from -3% compared to their predecessors.

"Panoramic" cabin and completely new design

In addition to its Euro6 engines, the new generation of Unimog stands out for its ultra-modern cabin design. Its most important feature is the particularly wide windshield that significantly improves the driver's field of vision, while multiple changes can be observed in various parts of the body. The wipers are now located on the upper part of the windshield, while the new bumpers feature advanced halogen headlights and daytime running lights. At the same time, the new camera system that... monitors the front of the vehicle makes the driver's job easier.

Inside the cabin, it is worth mentioning that a new steering wheel has been adopted with multiple controls integrated into it, while the level of comfort and safety, as well as the related equipment, has been significantly upgraded.

In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that significant changes have also been made to the drivetrain of the new Unimog in order to significantly improve the feel the driver gets, the levels of traction even under the most extreme conditions and of course, the cost of maintenance.
