Off-road award: The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is the Off-roader of the Year 2009
Stuttgart/Munich, Feb 13, 2009

Readers of the special-interest magazine "OFF ROAD" have voted the Unimog the Off-roader of the Year in the "Special-purpose vehicles" category

Unimog takes first place with an outstanding 42.3 % of readers’ votes

Stuttgart/Munich – For the fifth time in succession, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog has been voted the best off-road vehicle of the year in the "special-purpose vehicles" category by readers of the special-interest magazine OFF ROAD. The "Off-roader of the Year 2009 – Special-purpose vehicles category" award was made on the basis of a vote covering vehicles in eight categories in the December edition of this venerable Munich-based off-roader magazine. The OFF ROAD obelisk was recently presented during a ceremonial gala evening at the Munich theatre pavilion "Das Schloss". More than 44,000 readers took part in the vote between the 92 vehicles concerned. The Unimog won first place in the special-purpose category with an outstanding 42.3 % of the votes.

The categories for the readers’ vote were "Off-road vehicles", "Luxury off-road vehicles", "Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs)", "Luxury SUVs", "Classics", "Pick-ups", "Special-purpose vehicles" and "Crossovers". The Unimog was clearly ahead of the field among the special-purpose vehicles – off-road capable vehicles used to carry loads and goods to remote areas, or as a platform for special-purpose bodies such as firefighting, expedition and military vehicles. Characteristic product attributes such as outstanding off-road capabilities with portal axles, and enormous torsional flexibility combined with great robustness and solidity, were particularly praised.

The all-terrain Unimog series U 3000 to U 5000, which has been produced in Wörth since autumn 2002, is ideal for difficult off-road assignments well away from the beaten track and road. Its main areas of application are with the firefighting services – especially for forest fires – disaster relief services, expedi tions and servicing/maintenance work in areas where access is difficult. Accordingly the Unimog models U 3000, U 4000 and U 5000 ideally complement the vehicles in the U 300 to U 500 series – off-road-capable implement carriers which are mainly encountered working in the municipal services, with municipal contractors, in the construction and energy sectors, in in-company transport and in dual (road/rail) operations. The youngest addition to the Unimog family is the compact Unimog U 20, launched in 2008.

The magazine OFF-ROADhas held its Off-roader of the Year readers’ vote
since 1982.

Mercedes-Benz image in the lead
Stuttgart/München, Feb 02, 2009

Hat trick: Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles top the table three times

Mercedes-Benz trucks: “Trucks you can trust” promise corroborated

Unanimous vote for Mercedes-Benz vans

Mercedes-Benz CharterWay honoured for the fourth time in a row as a unique commercial vehicle service provider

Stuttgart/Munich – Mercedes-Benz is Germany's most popular commercial vehicle brand. This is the finding of an Emnid study commissioned by the weekly specialist magazine Verkehrs-Rundschau. In the "Verkehrs-Rundschau Image-Ranking 2009” the opinion research institute investigated for the fourth year the perception of the leading commercial vehicle brands. Mercedes-Benz took first place in three of the seven categories: Trucks, Vans and the category Hire/Leasing.
Customers and non-customers alike attribute to the truck with the star cutting-edge technology, the best equipment, the lowest fuel consumption and the greatest reliability. All of these aspects are expressed in the Mercedes-Benz performance promise "Trucks you can trust".
Mercedes-Benz vans left the competition trailing far behind them in the "Verkehrs-Rundschau-Image-Ranking 2009", just like last year. Of particular note is the rate of willingness to recommend, at 82.1 % absolutely outstanding.

For the fourth time in a row, Mercedes-Benz CharterWay took the top step on the podium for service provision. In the category Leasing and Hire the unique commercial vehicle service provider was honoured for the competence and engagement of its advisors.
To compile the "Verkehrs-Rundschau Image-Ranking", the opinion research institute TNS Emnid polled in autumn 2008 a total of 400 fleet managers in transport, freight, industry and trade about the image of the most important commercial vehicle providers and about products and services for the commercial vehicle fleet.

A good image is a basic precondition for a purchase decision. According to the Verkehrs-Rundschau study, over 75 % of those questioned would never or only exceptionally purchase commercial vehicles, products or services from a provider with a poor image.
