“Knick” is German for “(sharp)bend”, referring to the changed steering system these used compared to the Unimog. Mercedes would deliver just the few parts from original Unimog to “Werner” Coachbuilding:
- Driver’s cab U421
- Gearbox DB U421 Type 6 2×4
- Engine OM 616 ( 52 und 60hp )
- Two rear axles type 406
- Rear crossmember 406er
