The FINANCIAL — More than 300 specialist visitors followed the invitation to attend the opening event of the Unimog Tour 2014 at the Customer Center in Europe's largest truck plant, according to Daimler AG.
They had a first opportunity to follow practical, live demonstrations with the new Euro VI generation of the Unimog implement carrier range. More than 20 Unimog implement carriers – from the new, compact U 216 to the most powerful variant, the U 530, impressively demonstrated the capabilities of the new implement-carrying specialists in road-sweeping, hedge and green area maintenance, winter service and many other applications that arise in the day-to-day working operations of municipal fleets. In March and April the Unimog Tour 2014 will visit eight further locations thoughout Germany, from Villingen-Schwenningen in the south to Bad Fallingbostel in the north and Schönwalde-Glien in the east. Invitations will be issued by the local Unimog distributors, according to Daimler AG.
Wholly positive responses by the visitors, and also by participating implement manufacturers and bodybuilders such as Mulag, ASH Aebi Schmidt or Zagro, confirm the success of the Unimog Tour: a highly informative day filled with interesting specialist talks, and plenty of time for extended discussions and detailed information.
"In developing the new model series, we systematically improved the Unimog to meet the needs of our customers. Efficiency and productivity are increased with an extensive model range from the U 216 to the U 530, the powerful and efficient new Euro VI common-rail engines, a new control concept, the EasyDrive synergetic drive system, a new hydraulics concept and extended service intervals. This makes the new implement carriers cost-effectively usable for all municipal duties throughout the year. For heavy-duty off-road operations, for example in firefighting or disaster control, we are also presenting the new, all-terrain U 4023/U 5023 on the Tour," said Jan Debler, project manager for the Unimog Tour 2014.
