The Unimog on rails – this concept from the Mercedes-Benz implement carrier has been planned down to the last detail and tailored to markets all over the world over the past 50 years. At the world's most important trade fair for the railway sector, the Innotrans in Berlin (from 20 to 23 September 2016), the manufacturer will be using three exhibits to demonstrate how versatile and powerful the Unimog is in this sector. The road-rail Unimog can be used as a shunting vehicle for rail and overhead cable maintenance as well as for other jobs on and beside the rails. Customers include railway companies, metro system operators, urban rail and tram companies as well as providers of railway line construction and track maintenance.
Following the premiere of the latest generation of Unimog with the Euro VI engine at the Innotrans two years ago, the focus this time at Stand O/234 in the Open-Air South site of the trade fair in Berlin is the broad range of applications which the road-rail Unimog can offer.
For the first time, Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks will be presenting a railway line construction vehicle based on the Unimog U 423 with a particular combination of features: the Unimog with a crane body can be used flexibly both for infrastructure jobs as well as for shunting work up to a towing capacity of 400 t. This new and interesting vehicle concept can be adapted to customer requirements providing maximum use of capacity and, thus, a high degree of cost effectiveness.
