Unimog with enclosed all-steel driver's cab expands the model range
Date:
3 August 1953
Description:
The Unimog, delivered to customers with the Mercedes star on its radiator grille since May, is given the internal model series designation 401. A variant with a completely enclosed all-steel driver's cab is added to the model range, extending the appeal of the Unimog from its existing customer base – centred in agriculture and forestry – to include the industrial, commercial and municipal sectors. In November a longer-wheelbase version (402 series) is added.
