2019 Mercedes-Benz Unimog - Off-Road Testing. Subscribe.
The hydraulic system of the Unimog works demand oriented with the Load-Sensing-System, to the end that when being started the equipments only use the amount of energy they need in that moment. Through a special valve block this new hydraulic system is also compatible with attachments that need classic constant – current power. The tire pressure system „ Tirecontrol plus“ has been constructed completely new. Now the preconfigured suitable tire pressure for the respective operation can be set automatically and comfortably on the display, a process wherein you can choose between „street“, „sand“ and „bad road“. An almost custom-made technology for operations in agriculture that always entail frequent changes between loose and firm surfaces in which case it is paramount to drive with as little ground contact pressure as possible. The proverbial good driving qualities of the Unimog off-road are partly due to the portal axle since they ensure an increased ride height. Thus the agricultural user benefits while driving in the field since there remains enough room between the vehicle and the growth and plants.
