Newsletter November 2023/PDF/English Version
Dear members, dear regional representatives, dear Unimog friends,
the days are getting shorter and autumn has us fully in its grip. The pleasantly warm holiday season for the Unimog is over, but that doesn’t mean it has to go into winter quarters. There is still plenty to do for this all-purpose vehicle

VISITED EVENTS
50 years of MB-trac
The MB-trac went into series production on 1 July 1973. Reason enough for the Unimog Museum to commemorate the origins, further development and finally the end of production of this Mercedes tractor in a special exhibition. This exhibition was opened in the museum on the last weekend of October and was duly celebrated with an anniversary party. The UCG was also on site with its club shop

Excursion with the Gaggenau Lebenshilfe organisation
Last year was the first and this year it was repeated. On 22 October, the UCG organised a Unimog excursion for people with disabilities. Driving through the Murg Valley and the Black Forest as a passenger was a dream come true. There were beaming faces and enthusiastic people everywhere…and they weren’t just the co-drivers!
