The Unimog 411 is a vehicle in the Unimog series from Mercedes-Benz. Daimler-Benz AG built 39,581 units at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Gaggenau between August 1956 and October 1974.[1] The 411 is the last series of the "original Unimogs". The design of the 411 is based on the Unimog 401. It is also a commercial vehicle built on a ladder frame with four equally sized wheels and designed as an implement carrier, agricultural tractor and universally applicable work machine. Like the 401, it had a passenger car engine, initially with 30 hp (22 kW).[2]
There were a total of twelve different models of the 411, which were offered in numerous model variants with three wheelbases (1720 mm, 2120 mm and 2570 mm) and could be supplied in the conventional convertible version, as a drive head and with a closed cab, which was manufactured by Westfalia as with the predecessor. The closed cab was available in two versions, the Type B resembled the cab of the Unimog 401, the Type DvF resembled the cabs of the Mercedes-Benz trucks of the 1950s and 1960s with headlights in the radiator grille and chrome strips.[1]
During its long production phase, the Unimog 411 was technically revised several times. Due to the large number of changes that the 411 series underwent, four types of the 411 series are distinguished for better differentiation: the Ur-411, 411a, 411b and 411c.[3] Although the 411 was technically based on the 401, design features from other Unimog model series were also adopted for the 411, including the axle design of the Baureihe 406, which was used in modified form on the 411 from 1963. As the last classic Unimog, the 411 had no direct successor, but from 1966 the Unimog 421 was in the Unimog range, which was technically based on the 411 and was positioned in the same product segment.
