Mercedes-Benz Unimog gains traction with Farol
Mercedes-Benz has announced the appointment as a franchised Unimog Dealer of leading agricultural machinery sales and service specialist Farol.

Farol's appointment coincides with its 40th anniversary. The family-owned company operates from state-of-the-art headquarters – opened last year, following a £3.5-million investment – in Thame, Oxfordshire, and other depots in Byfield, Northamptonshire; Hinckley, Leicestershire; Midhurst, West Sussex; and Shefford Woodlands, near Hungerford, Berkshire.

Senior members of the Farol team have already undergone product and systems training by the manufacturer, with more planned for members of its 18-strong sales force, as well as technicians, parts and warranty staff. The new Dealer has also commissioned a number of vehicles for demonstration purposes, the first three of which arrived at Farol head office at the beginning of July.

Farol Managing Director Matthew Vellacott said: "We are very proud to be representing the iconic Mercedes-Benz Unimog and look forward to growing the brand alongside our other market-leading franchises.

The Mercedes-Benz Unimog enjoys an unrivalled reputation, earned in some of the world's harshest and most remote operating conditions, as the ultimate off-road vehicle. The range comprises two core variants: an implement carrier with front, side and rear attachment points, and a base truck for a range of other bodies.

All Unimogs have 4í—4 chassis with single rear wheels, which follow the track created by the front wheels. Gross weights vary from 7.5 to 16 tonnes, and engine outputs from 156 hp to 300 hp, while there are two standard cab designs for implement carrier and truck versions, as well as a crew cab option for trucks.

Head Office: Farol Ltd, Rycote Lane Farm, Milton Common, Thame, Oxfordshire, OX9 2NZ
