The Unimog (; []) is a Daimler Truck line of multi-purpose, highly off-road-capable AWD vehicles produced since 1948. Utilizing engine-driven power take-offs (PTOs), Unimogs have operated in the roles of tractors, light trucks and lorries, for snow plowing, in agriculture, forestry, rural firefighting, in the military, and even in rallying and as recreational vehicles.
