Mercedes-Benz Unimog U218 – Implement Carrier
The Unimog U218 is a highly versatile all-terrain implement carrier from Mercedes-Benz, combining the agility of a compact municipal vehicle with genuine off-road capability. Powered by a modern 5.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, it offers permanent all-wheel drive, portal axles for exceptional ground clearance, and front/rear attachment points plus hydraulics for a wide range of implements. With its short 2,800 mm wheelbase it is remarkably manoeuvrable, while still rated for towing and carrying serious loads — equally at home on the road, in the forest, or on unpaved terrain.
