Sharing a foundational platform with the Unimog 1700 L, the powder extinguishing vehicle represents the powerful special fire brigade vehicles used from the late seventies to the nineties. The chassis of the Unimog 1700 L, which was part of the robust Unimog series 435, offered ideal conditions for demanding fire-fighting operations off paved roads and, especially, special missions that called for a powder extinguishing vehicle. Typical sites of deployment for the Total superstructures, which had already proven their worth in the 404 and 406 series, were industrial plants, refineries, airports or larger factory fire brigades. The Unimog 1700 L was particularly suitable as a carrier vehicle for this sovereign responsibility. Visually, powder extinguishing vehicles based on the Unimog platform presented themselves with a mostly functional and purpose-oriented look. Today, compact powder extinguishing vehicles based on the Unimog 1700 L have become a rarity. Boasting impressive technology, they are regarded as contemporary witnesses of an era in which robust mechanics, versatility and uncompromising operational capability were put front and centre. In collections or museums or as models, they remind us of the vital importance of specialised fire-fighting vehicles in preventive and defensive fire protection.
