Portal axles & coil springs
Versatile applicability is the trademark of the Unimog. Just like its chassis expertise. This also includes its reinforced portal axles, creating high ground clearance for a wide range of tasks – on and off the road.
This means that the differential and the drive shafts connected with it are repositioned higher up. Axle tube and differential positioned above the wheel centre. In this way, obstacles are easier to overcome and the vehicle’s centre of gravity remains low.
The coil springs help create a comfortable driving experience, especially off-road – they are lightweight and have a large spring travel.
