Unimog North America will showcase its Unimog U500 vocational vehicle across the United States and Canada during the "Unimog 2U" 2004 Tour.
Beginning this week, three of Unimogs -- each pulling a trailer full of implements, will travel to participating Unimog dealer locations to demonstrate the vehicle's unique on- and off-highway capabilities.
"This is the biggest promotional campaign for the Unimog to date," said Bob McTernan, director of Unimog North America -- which is part of the Portland-based Freightliner Commercial Vehicles Group. "We want potential customers to experience the Unimog and its capabilities first-hand."
The Unimog 2U Tour will have three legs: Winter Tour East, Winter Tour West and the Canadian Tour. The East and West tours are under way, and the Canadian tour begins on Feb. 16. Each leg will tour the region for several months. Participating dealerships will customize their own promotional programs. Open houses, personal appointments and on-the-job demonstrations are just a few of the possible events that will be held.
The Unimog 2U Tour will demonstrate mostly winter-related applications, utilizing snow plows, snow blowers, salt and sand spreaders, front-mounted brooms, hand-held hydraulic tools, tree cutters and snow chains.
Built as an implement carrier, the Class 6&7 Unimog U500 vehicle accommodates a wide range of equipment for a variety of work duty applications. The Unimog's factory-installed hydraulic system and controls provide seamless implement changeovers. Equipment commonly used with the vehicle includes aerial man lifts, tree trimmers, augers, cranes, snow plows, salt spreaders, street sweepers and specialized brush cutting and firefighting equipment. Additionally, a new automated transmission is now available for the Unimog and will be featured on the tour. The Unimog U500 is available at selected Freightliner Trucks, Sterling, Western Star and American LaFrance dealerships in the U.S. and Canada.
Potential customers interested in attending a Unimog 2U tour stop should call (877) 701-3000, or visit unimogtrucks.com for more information.
