We generally associate Mercedes with the luxury passenger car brand, but its expertise goes well beyond what BMW, Lexus, and Audi offer. The Daimler Truck division has a separate Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks business unit that is responsible for the defense sector. The go-anywhere Unimog is perhaps its most recognizable product, but the lineup includes several other heavy-duty trucks. This 6x6 behemoth is its newest creation.
Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks is attending the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi this month to show off the Arocs 4042 AS 6x6 equipped with twin rear tires. Developed for heavy-duty off-road transport, the three-axle mastodont can haul tanks and rescue broken-down vehicles using the double cable winch. As you can tell, it's absolutely massive, stretching 322.8 inches (8200 millimeters) long, 98.4 inches (2500 millimeters) wide, and standing 137.7 inches (3500 millimeters) tall.
