Lkw 1,5 t gl Autocarro Daimler-Benz Unimog S 404 B

In 1954/55, the German Bundeswehr called for the design e production of a 1.5 ton utility truck con exceptional fuori strada driving ability. Daimler-Benz won the bid con a vehicle called "Universal-Motorengerät" - Unimog. Over 65,000 Unimogs were produced, 36,000 for the Bundeswehr, the remainder for other forze della NATO e civilian use. Unimogs are popular forestry e farm veicoli in a number of European countries, e many ex-military Unimogs have been converted to mobil homes for overland adventure travel. In 1978 the second generation Lkw 2t tmil gl - Unimog U 1300 L - was introduced ed it has gradually replaced the original Unimog as the standard military utility vehicle in the Bundeswehr.

In the 1960s e 70s, when dedicated armoured personnel carriers were in short supply, a number of battaglioni Panzergrenadier della Bundeswehr used Unimog 1.5 t trucks as fanteria squad carriers. These units were designated Panzergrenadierbataillon (mot.), e they were converted to Jäger (fanteria leggera) status in 1972. Some battaglioni Jäger retained the Unimog, others received M113 trasporti truppe corazzati handed down from Panzergrenadier units who had upgraded to Schützenpanzer Marder 1 veicoli da combattimento della fanteria.
