2020 UNIDAN Global Explorer - U218 UGE Unimog Expedition Vehicle
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The latest Unidan Engineering expedtion vehicle build is complete, we present the 2020 Unidan Global Explorer.
The Global Explorer range of expedition vehicles is exclusive to the UGE Unimogs (the round cab Unimogs). The acronym 'UGE' is used by Mercedes-Benz to describe the implement carrier Unimogs and we wanted to give this acronym a second meaning, being Unidan Global Explorer.
This vehicle truly is an international traveler as the ability to switch steering from right-hand drive to left-hand drive (VarioPilot) in a matter of seconds makes it the perfect vehicle for around-the-world exploration.
Check out the video of this vehicle and let us know what you think!

The Unimog is my consumer's dream, and this one in particular is most special. Now a funny anecdote. In 2010, my wife and I drove around Patagonia almost 8 thousand km in a rented Chevrolet Corsa (Argentines call it the poor man's 4x4), without a glitch or a flat. But at the Carretera Austral in Chile, near Puyuhuapi, we saw a Unimog with Austrian plates by the side of the road with a flat tyre, and its owner, fully clad in mechanic's overalls struggling with the enormous wheel and tyre. So, like a trooper, I stopped the Corsa and asked the man if he needed help in English. He stared at me with a look of amazement and said -"nein!" That's pride!
Waw, I feel this man's passion for reliability, autonomy and even redundancy , the 400liter diesel tank tells it all, 2000km range with a full size bed and ac... Indiana Jones would envy this.
Молодцы! Какая шикарная техника! Классная инженерия! Даже сторону руля менять легко..! И по человеку-владельцу, сразу видно, что ему действительно комфортно.
Fabulous, stunning vehicle. Got to be one of the very best ‘overland’ vehicles out there.
WASHING MACHINE! OMG! This thing is on another level! If I win the lottery, I’m coming to see you mate. In the meantime, I live my dream through these videos.
One of the coolest expedition rv 😍😍😍
This looks awesome. Perfectly engineered for the harsh Australian environment.
Killer set up, you guys nailed it!
Fully equipped, capable of rolling the globe, especially with all-wheel drive Mercedes cars.
Looks awesome guys. Well done!!!
I don't get stuck often. But when I do my winch moves mountains. 🤣
If I ever hit the lotto......
A work of functional art. Beautiful.
What a amazing off road rig.
Great machines, nicely modified. I would love to buy one and drive it all the way back to İstanbul..
Quel boulot colossal cela a du être... et optimisé au maximum vraiment exceptionnel 😍
I love the spare wheel position that's the best of the bunch

But, it leaves virtually no storage space for tools and equipment. Shovels, snatch ropes, air jacks and the chainsaw he mentioned. All kit for a true overland truck.
Wow ; Unimog 218 UGE ; Ultimate RV.

Just call Unicat in Germany. They can build one just like it. I'd get one with the rear garage for an ATV just in case the vehicle is too big to fit in certain places.
Fantastic truck .
Awesome design Dan.
I'm in love.
Awesome trucks!
Spectacular!
Beautiful
It's to die for!
Sweet ride.
Genial saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile

Impressive mate! Beautiful workmanship, perfection and very well presented. Could've added some interior, but I'm off to your iste to do the rest ;-)
Very very very nice 🤑
Very cool rig. I'm glad MB has moved away from the silly looking "Mercedes SLR" nose and have gone back to a more traditional hood. Now, after I've won lotto and invested it and have made enough on the returns I'll be giving you guys a call. :)
I wish you could show more about the vehicle in details. It sure looks great. But more of technical (how is better than the previous gen) and the inside.

Amit Shekhawat the in-depth information is all on our website with 3D virtual walkthroughs so that you can see all the specs at your own pace. As for reasons behind why it is better than a previous design, it isn’t. They are all different models as people prefer different layouts, however one isn’t better than another. They are all built to our same extremely high quality and finishes. I hope this helps!
Cantik banget mobilnya🥰🥰🥰🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hola buenas noches feliz 2021 !!!!! Es impresionante, me gusta muchísimo !!! Dónde esta vuestra dirección, cual es el precio, estáis en España ( Madrid)??? Un saludo y Un abrazo

Switching steering wheel..!! That's the most awesome thing I've ever seen. The American way is the correct way. The British : No,ours is the correct way innit..! The Germans : Should i drive or do you wanna drive..?? Ok,here take the steering wheel.😁 Yup..!! Made in Deutschland.

The first spare is nice and easy to access but how do you get the second spare off and onto the rack over the cabin?

Impresive engineering and build. I would like to know by your experience maintenence costs, fuel economy of the Unimog
@unidanengineering
3 жыл бұрын
Maintenance costs completely depend on which model of Unimog you purchase and how much you use your vehicle. As for fuel economy, they are between 20-25L/100km for the older U1700 Unimogs and approx. 18L/100km for the new model Unimogs

The living box is mostly air, all below it is solid steel chassis, 480L of fuel, water storage etcetera. It’s definitely bottom heavy not top heavy.
Are these legal for usage in the US? Have you ever worked for any clients in the US?
My dream ride and house all in one! But it will just be a dream..haha
Is it good on the HWY roads too?
Looks amazing, my only gripe is it looks top heavy. I'd be afraid to tip it over

I thought so too, but saw a few mogs in action last year and was very surprised at where the group was taking them. My only concern from that point onwards is low hanging branches

What about kids, where would they sit? Does the Cab come with rear seats and doors? How expensive are they. Can we get one in the USA?? Great video!! How are they in snowy conditions?
@unidanengineering

Hi Paul, This vehicle was for a couple that have adult kids who no longer travel with them. Unfortunately the UGE Unimog's only come as a single cab, however we can build expedition bodies on other chassis' in order to have a dual cab with a large enough body for the whole family (Mercedes-Benz Arocs) or the UHE Unimog as a dual cab with a shorter body. Alternatively, we can also have legal seating in the rear of the body. We can build an expedition body for the USA but it would have to be based on a restored older vehicle due to the importation laws in your country. We can also build expedition bodies to suit extremely cold climates. If you are interested in getting a quote for a project, please send an email to info@unidan.com.au
When Mercedes comes, the speech stops!
Do you blokes have it for sale in California?
Do not forget Tatra 817 or litle older version 815- 10
That thing gets like 7.4 mpg on one test. I guess i could carry alot off fuel with it's insane payload capacity.
