context_page_description: The Unimog is a range of multi-purpose all-wheel drive medium trucks produced by Daimler AG and sold under the Mercedes-Benz brand. In the United States and Canada, the Unimog was sold as the Freightliner Unimog.
  Unimog production started in 1948 at Boehringer in Göppingen. Daimler-Benz took over manufacture of the Unimog in 1951, and first produced it in the Mercedes-Benz Gaggenau plant. From 1951, the Unimog was sold under the Mercedes-Benz brand. However, the first Unimog to feature the three-pointed Mercedes-Benz star was only introduced in 1953. Since 2002, the Unimog has been built in the Mercedes-Benz truck plant in Wörth am Rhein in Germany. The Mercedes-Benz Türk A.Ş. plant assembles Unimogs in Aksaray, Turkey. Unimogs were also built in Argentina by Mercedes-Benz Argentina S.A. under licence from 1968 until 1983 in the González Catán factory near the city of Buenos Aires.
  The first model was designed by Albert Friedrich and Heinrich Rößler shortly after World War II to be used in agriculture as a self-propelled machine providing a power take-off to operate saws in forests or harvesting machines on fields.
