Freightliner introduces extra large SUV
New York — Freightliner Corp. reportedly has plans to begin selling an extra-large four-wheel-drive vehicle more than nine feet tall and seven feet wide, introducing to American consumers a sport utility better known for its use by the German military.
Freightliner, a unit of Germany's Daimler Chrysler AG and the top manufacturer of heavy trucks in the United States, will begin taking orders in October for the vehicle, called Unimog, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. The diesel-fueled vehicle, which has a 52-gallon tank and gets about 10 miles per gallon of gas, will sell for a base price of $84,000 (U.S.), the Times reported.
The Unimog will be produced in Gaggenau, Germany, but targeted at people living in the suburbs of America: affluent off-road enthusiasts, fire departments and businesses needing to haul some 13,000 pounds worth of passengers and cargo, according to the Times.
The Unimog is a foot longer than Ford Motor Co.'s Excursion and 3.5 inches wider than General Motors Corp.'s Hummer, a vehicle whose design is based on an American military transport. Freightliner hopes to begin selling 1,000 Unimogs a year, the Times reported. AP
