Unimog U5000 DOKA - One Piece Composite Box

[Desert Dog]

This is the first box that we have produced - a one piece 50 mm wall & roof with an 80 mm floor. All the bulkheads have been bonded in which saves a great deal of time with the fit-out.

Very neat. When does testing start?

Do I see 14.00R20 Pirellis on it? In an effort to mitigate the extremely low 6.94 (final drive 5.1) gearing? Mr Larry Perkins in Australia has worked out a more or less MB factory approved way to fit the Claas overdrive to the U5000. Giving a cruise speed of 100kph at 1920 rpm with the stock 395s.
Useful depending on where the ultimate end user will be using it. Like North America or Australia. Yes, I know in the EU the trucks go 89 or less in the right lane of autobahns/dual carriageways.
