Wörth/Nuremberg – Unimog supports private sector and municipal enterprises in creating and maintaining green living spaces. Urban green spaces and sustainable private gardens are becoming more and more important in light of the effects of climate change. This is why GaLaBau, Europe’s leading trade fair for horticulture and landscaping in Nuremberg, will be held this year with the motto "Together we are prepared for the climate of the future".

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks, together with Unimog ExpertPartners Bucher Municipal and Mulag, will demonstrate the performance of their Unimog-based work combinations and how these can help with climate protection at their joint stand with Mercedes-Benz Unimog general representative Henne Nutzfahrzeuge (Stand 6-329, Hall 6) from 14 to 17 September.

With three exhibition vehicles, Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks covers all weight classes and proves the importance of the Unimog equipment carrier for professional and environmentally-friendly road maintenance:

U 535 with Mulag ECO mowers for efficient green care

The U 535, the heaviest and most powerful Unimog series, is bringing attachments from Unimog ExpertPartner Mulag to the trade fair. This makes it a versatile partner for demanding green care tasks in road service. The MKM 700 combination mower, which has a front boom and verge mower, is used on the front mounting plate. This mower efficiently processes difficult areas of roadside greenery, for example, verges, depressions, ditches, and dividing strips or medians. The SB 600 rear boom is installed on the tail of the U535 and has a suction device for disposing of the resulting mowing in a cuttings trailer. Boom units can be upgraded with different implement variants to perform any number of tasks related to grass verge maintenance for summer service. The ECO 1200 plus greenery maintenance head plays a special role in environmental protection. Its special cutting mechanism is scientifically proven to meet the requirements for insect and plant protection.

U 327 with ECO winter service technology from Bucher Municipal

Also at the stand is a versatile specialist for winter service and transport: the special edition U 327. It combines spreading, cleaning, and snow clearing functions. This model also offers a platform suitable for transport and crane work. This vehicle from the medium-duty series is therefore the ideal companion for municipalities, contractors, and service providers. Unimog ExpertPartner Bucher Municipal has equipped this vehicle with a telescopic snowplow from the Teplex TE 90.30/40S series as well as a Yeti ECO FS 50 spreader. The snowplow's clearing width can be continuously adjusted to the road width hydraulically. It is also equipped with a neoprene edging strip, which is extremely durable, low noise, and protects the road surface. The spreader is a Yeti W20o with a twin-screw system, both with a salt and brine content of 50%. For the exhibit, this means a dry volume of 2.0 m3 and a brine volume of 2000 l. In addition, this series is capable of applying pure brine (FS-100 spreading method).

The compact U 219 with summer/winter service combination

The U 219, in turn, marks the introduction to the world of Unimog equipment carriers. This vehicle is tailored to the needs of smaller enterprises and municipalities in particular. It can be deployed in any season, which means it can be fully utilized and operated economically. This is typified by the exhibition vehicle with its wet salt spreader design from Bucher and its Mulag boom with front hedge trimmer. The spreader is a Yeti W16 with a dry volume of 1.6 m³ and a brine volume of 640 l. This system is designed for the FS-30 spreading method. The twin-screw system allows for a very low tank design. This has significant benefits for the driver during work. On one hand, drivers benefit from a perfect, all-round view thanks to the low tank height. On the other hand, the body's low center of gravity means that the vehicle handles safely in all situations. With a working width of 2.0 m and a range of 7.0 m, the efficient MFK 500 front boom and attached GHS 2000 hedge trimmer can be used to maintain trees, shrubs, and grass during the transition between summer and winter. A selection of more than 20 implements means the boom can be used all year round.

Top-of-the-range U 435 and U 535 models round off the heavy-duty class

A high-performance fleet is the basis for efficiency in landscaping, road maintenance, agriculture, or construction. And Unimog now offers even better performance. With the U 435 and U 535 models, Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks has upgraded its model range in the heavy-duty class up to 16.5 tons gross vehicle weight. Like all other models, the 260 kW (354 hp) engine installed on these two variants  already complies with the Euro VI emission standard, which further tightens the legal requirements for emission limits compared to the previous standard. The Unimog's drive system thus has a smaller impact on the environment.

High-performance special edition U 327 with high load capacity

The U 327, which was also released this year, is positioned below the heavy-duty Unimog equipment carrier. It mobilizes 200 kW (272 hp), instead of the previous maximum of 170 kW (231 hp) on the U 323, which is still offered. The medium-weight Unimog up to 14.5 tons gross vehicle weight thus offers the performance, weight classes, and wheelbases of a U 427, combined with the compactness and maneuverability that make the U 319 series so popular. For special customer requirements, the U 327 is also available with a long wheelbase and large platform.

4-cylinder variants of U 323 and U 423 also available with 3150 mm wheelbase

The lightweight class also boasts new options. In addition to the previously available 3000 mm and 3600 mm wheelbases, the U 323 and U 423 versions are now available with a 3150 mm wheelbase. The medium wheelbase provides higher axle loads than the short variant with 3000 mm wheelbase, and can therefore carry around 200 kg more load or attachments.

Adaptive steering and suspension increase driving comfort significantly

In addition, all Unimog equipment carrier series benefit from technical innovations that further increase driving comfort and the level of safety in particular. The electrohydraulic comfort steering is speed-dependent and reduces steering forces at low speeds and when the vehicle is stationary. This is a particularly helpful for the driver when using heavy front attachments such as mowing combinations and large-volume tires. The hydropneumatic suspension, which is now available ex works as an option for the U 400 and U 500 series, demonstrate its strengths when using heavy rear attachments or when load conditions differ, i.e., attachments with high centers of gravity. It replaces the coil springs on the rear axle and permits a constant driving level and stable handling, even under these conditions. The hydropneumatic suspension also makes it easier to attach and remove units.

Improved working comfort and optimized occupant protection

Today, comfort and safety are essential, especially with work machines like the Unimog, where the driver has to sit for extended periods and concentrate on their work. Despite the effective air-conditioning system, the driver may sweat when the temperature is high. The new "climate-controlled seat" is the solution for this, providing sophisticated ventilation and increasing driver comfort.

Unimog safety features further optimized

To provide the best possible protection for occupants in all situations, the Unimog cab has additional reinforcements for the cab underbody and new tubular brackets on the A-pillar. As a result, this vehicle meets the legal requirements from the ECE-R29/3 standard for commercial vehicles. A special roll bar meets the requirements for approval with respect to agriculture and forest management.

New equipment packages combine essential safety functions

A wide and attractive range of equipment is provided for the Unimog so that it can do its work perfectly. All commercial customers and the public sector have three packages to choose from. These packages combine essential options and offer price advantages compared to individual orders. The light package with bi-xenon headlights as well as daytime driving lights, high-beam headlights, and spotlights, all in an LED design, ensure excellent lighting conditions both when driving on the road and when using the equipment. The options of the safety package ensure excellent performance when visibility is poor. These include a camera system with front and rear camera, reversing warning system, and the large instrument cluster with 12.7 cm diagonal screen and monitor and video function. The winter package includes a water heater, a heated windshield, and seat heating so that employees of GaLaBau companies and municipal enterprises can complete their important work for climate protection perfectly, even in the winter.
