Unfettered freedom with the Unimog long-distance tourer.

His work is his hobby and his hobby is his job. Benson Liu’s passion for Unimog infuses his whole life. He’s the official Daimler representative and a private dealer for Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks in Shenzhen, a metropolis with a population of over 12 million, close to Hong Kong. In his role as contact person for Unimog Club China he is available to answer questions from interested parties and he meets other members regularly at events where they can enjoy their shared passion.

In October 2017 the club organised a major trip. Taking centre stage on the adventure were a Unimog U 5000 with detachable cabin, a Unimog U 4000 with double cab and a Unimog U 4000 long-distance tourer.

Travel without limitation.

The Unimog gets to places other vehicles cannot reach. That claim is one that Benson Liu and his clubmates aimed to put to the test on their 26-day travel. From desert to snow-covered glacier, from high plain to river ford – the adventurers covered every kind of terrain and were richly rewarded for their efforts. Entirely new worlds opened up – unspoiled, wild landscapes far from the hustle and bustle of the city. They covered a total distance of 11,000 km from the south to the north-west of China, through rain and shine across snow, ice, rock and sand, across eleven provinces and autonomous regions, at altitudes up to 4,828 m.
