Model history

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 is still considered the most stylish and technically advanced model in the Unimog series. It was produced between 1963 and 1988 and was world-renowned for its versatility, robustness, and off-road capabilities. The later U900 variant with 110 hp offered more power and comfort. Convertible versions from the last years of production are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. This example represents the classic Unimog charm in its purest form.

    Technik: Der Unimog 406 ist ein Fahrzeug aus der von der Daimler-Benz AG gebauten Unimog-Reihe. Er wurde zwischen 1963 und 1989 im Mercedes-Benz-Werk Gaggenau insgesamt 37.069 Mal hergestellt. 406 ist die erste Baureihe mittelschwerer Unimogs. Im Vergleich zu den Baureihen Unimog 401 bzw. Unimog 411 haben die Fahrzeuge einen auf 2380 mm verlängerten Radstand sowie mehr als die doppelte Motorleistung. Anders als im ursprünglichen Unimog wurde kein Pkw-, sondern ein großvolumiger Nutzfahrzeugmotor eingebaut. Als erster Vertreter der mittelschweren Unimog-Modellfamilie hatte er ein völlig neues Erscheinungsbild. Spätere Unimog-Baureihen basieren teilweise technisch und optisch auf dem 406. Insgesamt gab es elf verschiedene Baumuster des 406, die in vier verschiedenen Modellvarianten (U 65 bis U 84) angeboten und mit zwei- oder viertüriger Kabine sowie als Cabrio geliefert werden konnten. Darüber hinaus gab es den 406 für Fremdhersteller als Triebkopf eine Variante, bei der nur ein „halber“ Unimog geliefert wird, dem das Heck fehlt. Während seiner langen Produktionsphase wurde der Unimog 406 mehrmals technisch überarbeitet. Die erste Überarbeitung gab es bereits 1964, als der Vorkammer-Dieselmotor OM 312 durch den Direkteinspritzer OM 352 ersetzt wurde. Ab 1973 hatte der 406 Scheibenbremsen. Für viele Unimog-Liebhaber ist der 406 mit seinem Einsatzgebiet in Land- und Forstwirtschaft der klassische Unimog schlechthin. „Das Fahrzeug war ein Volltreffer und verkörperte die Bezeichnung Universal-Motor-Gerät von allen bisherigen Unimogs am besten.“ LG Tom
