Live show in front of a mountainous backdrop.

A delight for fans and users alike: Unimog Austria Tour.

Picturesque cirrostratus clouds in a blue sky, a vast panoramic view of the Alps in the background and an impressive fleet of Unimog vehicles in the foreground – visitors to the Unimog Austria Tour were treated to a true feast for the eyes in September and October 2017.

Discover versatility: Unimog shows its broad scope of applications.

At the events in Lebring, Innsbruck and Melk, around 15 of the Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks demonstrated what they are capable of. From A (as in agricultural logistics) to Z (for zipping swiftly from road to rail operations in one and the same vehicle), making an obligatory stop at W (like walkway maintenance) – complete vehicle solutions were presented for year-round use.

The numerous visitors experienced the various model series in action, ranging from the Unimog U 218 implement carrier, right up to the Unimog U 5023 extreme off-roader as part of the live demonstrations.

At the moment, the sky above Austria is still bright and blue. But anyone who has a Unimog in their fleet need not worry about the winter arriving.

Even if it's sunny, winter service work still needs doing.

For use in snow and ice, three Unimog U 218 vehicles with different attachments and bodies were among the vehicles presented. With its narrow width of 2.20 m and its small wheelbase, the model is particularly manoeuvrable and thus ideal for operations in towns and communes.

The winter specialists were supplemented by a Unimog U 430 which, thanks to its snowplough and automatic spreader unit, is optimally equipped for snow-clearing operations on the road network.

This is how fast the body can be swapped.

You have to have seen it once yourself, otherwise you can hardly believe it: changing attachments and bodies on the Unimog is possible in the shortest of times thanks to the standardised interfaces. Onlookers at the Unimog Austria Tour were able to experience first-hand just how simple it is to swap a snowplough for a sweeper, or how easy a mowing boom can be exchanged for a tree stump cutter.

For summer service operations, among other things, a Unimog U 530 was presented which was equipped with front-mounted, side verge, embankment and marker post mowers. The 16.5 t permissible gross weight makes it the ideal vehicle for using all mounting areas.

This flexibility makes the Unimog an economic multi-purpose vehicle, for example for road maintenance operations. And thus to a welcomed member of any fleet in Austrian works yards.

The mountain calls: with a 231-hp engine and an Atlas crane, this Unimog U 5023 extreme off-roader is a true rock-climber.

Dialogue with Unimog and partner firms.

Besides the popular live show at which the Special Trucks, their advantages and their various scopes of application were presented, our experts from Mercedes-Benz and bodybuilding partners were available to discuss with visitors and provide answers to any questions they may have had – always providing practical answers on the basis of the vehicles on display.
