The engine has been shifted a meter to the rear, which helps not only accommodate the assemblies that Euro 6 made necessary, but also enables direct power take-off from the engine. Simultaneously with introduction of Mercedes-Benz diesel engines Euro 6, the extreme off-road version of the Unimog also underwent a complete redevelopment to feature a mid-engine design. Alongside cooled exhaust gas recirculation within the engine, emission control features a successively switched system comprising a closed particulate filter, AdBlue injection and an SCR catalytic converter. Despite the complexity required to meet the Euro 6 standard, Mercedes-Benz is promising to customers of the new Unimog, that low fuel consumption has been reduced by up to three percent with lowered emissions, great reliability, a long life expectancy and long maintenance intervals. Finally, Euro 6 engines are available also for Big Mog – there are a lot of European companies who are waiting it.
