Your vehicles are the best! God bless you! I am so motivated in my life to be able to buy one someday. Thank you so much! Please keep making videos! I hope you are in great health and happiness!😀
Could a German explain why the obsession with uber Expedition vehicles is all about? Its interesting seeing Unikat cash in on the €1-3m market and now a 5-10,000kg RAM is downsizing. I am a Kiwi living in Finland and like Norway there is now a problem with Germans, Swiss, Dutch and Austrians in particular using these very destructive vehicles in National parks or in rivers here "offroad" and damaging the nature, to the point where warning signs need to be in German now. As a non Germanic person I find this odd as when I went to Abenteuer & Allrad its full of these huge trucks, by huge they park them in a square and there are hundreds of these. Even in Morocco its the same thing, a convoy of very slow 6x6 MAN, Mercedes 5550, Actros HGVs with tires the height of a child scything through a town. In NZ we have them too and what is noticeable is the idea that there is a pleasure in breaking certain rules. Basically pushing into places that they think no one lives even though someone does. Is it because Germany, Switzerland has so many rules that once you go to somewhere different you feel obliged to go wild? My own experience last year with four 6x6 and one 8x8 Unikat HGVs park at our summer house, our neighbour phoned me. I drove there and they had parked on the field next to my house. They did not see a problem as there is no fence, there isn't as it allows wildlife to roam. They asked about recycling their rubbish correctly and yet couldn't understand why I was upset over the damage to the ground?The damage is still there and I followed them on Instagram and its not a one off misjudgement, there is a pattern of doing destructive behaviour and just carrying on. Getting stuck, winching out of ditches, but no repairs or thought to others. As I said I would like to hear some of the other side of this as I am sure there are customers and window shoppers amongst you on the thought process of buying something like this and its use case. I know my German friends bemoan Dutch Caravan owners on the Autobahn and the Alps so this isn't unique.
The boom came after the covid restrictions. Everyone wanted to feel free and the ones who could afford such cars did it. It's also forbidden in Germany, Switzerland and Austria to camp into the wild and use offroad roads. But you can camp wild in Scandinavia easy and your are mostly in quit places where not many people are. Here in Germany, even if your are in the woods you will see someone there with their dog. Here are no wild places.
When ruthlessness goes hand in hand with megalomania and ignorance, this is exactly what happens. These monsters are also not welcome on campsites because they often only stay for 2-3 days and then disappear again. We don't need 6x6 or 8x8 off-road trucks in Europe. Maybe in South or Central America. Maybe in Africa. Anyone who causes damage to the road/nature must be asked to pay. If you don't want to pay, immobilize the vehicle, put it in a container, put the driver in jail for 4-6 weeks, ban him from entering the country for life, get the government involved. You do that a few times as a deterrent and it works.
Sehr spannendes Projekt! Und sehr überraschend: Bei den LKWs ging der Trend bei Unicat zuletzt eindeutig zu den 3-Achsern, also hin zu mehr Größe und Gewicht - umso bemerkenswerter, dass jetzt etwas Neues am unteren Ende der Gewichtsskala kommt!
Man kann deutlich die Unicat-Philosophie erkennen: Um Reserven zu schaffen ein Fahrgestell nehmen, das eigentlich für ein höheres zulässiges Gesamtgewicht ausgelegt ist, das Fahrzeug dann aber deutlich leichter zu konzipieren - so wie bei den LKWs. Hier: Ein Truck, der für 8,2 Tonnen zulässiges Gesamtgewicht ausgelegt ist nehmen und auf maximal 7,5 Tonnen zulassen. Das dürfte auch der Knackpunkt sein, auf den Dodge zurückzugreifen. Denn in Europa gibt es keine wirklich passenden Fahrgestelle für 7,5 Tonnen geländegängige Wohnmobile. Die ganz grossen Transporter sind nicht geländegängig. Der beste Kompromiss, der einigermassen geländegängige Iveco Daily, ist für max. 7,2 Tonnen ausgelegt, dann also ohne Gewichtsreserve. Iveco Eurocargo oder Unimog haben schon ein zu großes Grundgewicht und dementsprechend zu geringe Zuladung. Der Mercedes G hat zwar ein massvolles Eigengewicht, ist aber nicht für soviel Zuladung konzipiert. Ich bin gespannt, was Unicat an Zuladung aus einem 6x6 Mercedes G herausholen kann!
@@tgs8459 Auf dem Papier: ja. Explorer schreibt dazu allerdings ("Tekne Graelion für den harten Offroad-Einsatz" vom 19.02.20): "Das gesamte Fahrzeug ist auf Performance und Funktionalität und nicht auf Komfort ausgelegt. Es ist für den harten Geländeeinsatz bei Brandbekämpfung an entlegenen, schwer zugänglichen Orten und auch für das Militär konzipiert worden, nicht für schwankende Wohnkabinen mit hohen Schwerpunkten und Langstrecken."
@@alexanderklimke6508 Graelion is an analogue of Unimog, with the same portal bridges, central wheel pumping, etc., but for much more reasonable money weighing up to 7.5 tons. It is quite comfortable if buses are made on the basis of it to transport workers in off-road conditions.
@@tgs8459 Der Unimog ist das geländegängiste Fahrzeug, wenn der Graelion ihm nahekommt, freut mich das, ich habe selbst noch nie einen live gesehen. Allerdings wird auch beim Unimog mangelnder Komfort und mangelnde Langstreckenfähigkeit bemängelt. Ausserdem verliert der Unimog seine herausragenden Geländeeigenschaften rasch durch einen Kabinenaufbau, wenn der Schwerpunkt zu hoch ist und/oder prozentual die hintere Achslast zu hoch ist (z.B. durch Überhang, der per se schon Geländegängigkeit kostet).
@@alexanderklimke6508 It's just that Unimog was originally created more as a communal, agricultural machinery, so for long-distance travel it is for an amateur, you can say for fans of this machine. Graelion acts more like a station wagon, it is designed to perform complex tasks without losing comfort.
Only UNICAT can surprise us 💪🏻‼️
Wie immer, saugeile Arbeit! Freue mich schon auf das Endergebniss!
Very excited to see the finished product!
Ein gelungener Entwurf, toll.
Can't wait for the 6×6 version
Your vehicles are the best! God bless you! I am so motivated in my life to be able to buy one someday. Thank you so much! Please keep making videos! I hope you are in great health and happiness!😀

It's that company still producing overlanders??
Will there be a right hand drive version, for us good folks in Ireland & our neighbours in the UK?
Merry Christmas...

Sir, if you are reading my comment then please reply to it. Do you have any other channel on which you upload videos?

يعجبني ما تفعله
وكنت اتمنى الترجمة الى اللغة العربية
ملاحظة مهمة لصحتك أيها السيد
(تأمل فيديو د بيرج فقد استفدت أنا منها كثيرا )
كل الشكر لجهدك

Hello sir! Post one video a week and less commerce.
Unicat expition vicle purchase order in India which city
I hope U will translate to English. 😅
No dat kom
Sir, I am from Pakistan and I am very upset with your work.
Aber dass RAM seit 13 Jahren eine eigenständige Marke ist und das eben KEIN Dodge RAM ist, ist schon klar, oder?
Der Schwabe nennt einen Mercedes Benz doch auch immer noch Daimler? 😉
