You’ve taken away one of the Unimog 404’s greatest design strengths. That frame is designed to be super flexible along with the drivetrain. It looks like your mods have made it rigid. That battery pack would have been better suited sitting in the stock bed as is’t designed to accommodate the flex of the frame. Same with the motor mounts. Either way, excited to follow.
You win the gold star! You are absolutely right about the flex - you may of heard me saying we are changing the batteries at the end of the video ( now going in truck bed ) this is to re install the flex in the chassis
WOW way to go dudes. I hope you offer the plans and the 3d scans to all of us dreamers. I've been looking at using a nissan leaf for a donor vehicle and just mounting that motor to the mog transmission/transfer case. put the battery module in the bed of the truck. Run a diesel generator if needing more range.
We recognise the music isn’t to everyone’s taste, there is a few reasons - background radio in workshop meant we had to cancel it out for publishing rights. We built that part so quickly we did not speak on camera. All further episodes will have talking Through process and much less music.

What's a amazing manufacturing job. I can't wait to see next episode.
#nevergiveup 💪🏼
It is not an Unimog anymore. It is a Thing with a little bit of Metal of an Unimog.
Saw you guys at the Cenex low carbon show but never got to ask, what kind of motor is that ?
Hi thanks for your message, great to hear you saw us at the show! The motor is a Dana Sumo MD2500
Incredible content, how are you still flying under the radar? Can you share more info about the other trucks?
Thanks for your comment, Much appreciated! We have actually been building electric HGV’s for well over 5 years!
So fucking cool!
Thanks very much !

I want to like your channel, but you play too much background music for no reason. Distracting. Get on with the chat and skip the music.
