Development

It is one of many models in the 300 series of engines, which were developed during and after World War II, while specifically the OM352 was revealed in 1964. The OM352's lineage can be traced back to the OM311, [1] itself an 80 PS (59 kW) inline-six engine. [2] The OM352 has many applications, including marine, military, municipal, and agricultural vehicles, as well as stationary settings. The engine has differing trim and power levels, affording designations such as OM 352A a variant fitted with a turbocharger, or the OM352 LA, which is fitted with an intercooler and a turbocharger. (List of Mercedes-Benz engines.)

The engine is water-cooled, and is produced using cast-iron cylinder block, with cast-in cylinders. The engine utilizes diesel fuel delivered in a direct injection method from a Bosch PES style inline injection pump. The cylinder head is a single unit for all cylinders, and the cylinder head cover and air intake are shared by a single cast aluminum alloy. Exhaust ports 2&3 and 4&5 are siamesed together, presenting an exhaust manifold with only four outlets.

The crankshaft is a precision forged unit running in seven three-layer bearings, with counterweights bolted onto the crank webs, much like any other diesel motor of its vintage. The middle bearing is also the thrust bearing. The connecting rods are of a split design, with bronze bushings for the piston pin.

OM314

In 1965, a four-cylinder variant derived from the six cylinder OM352 was introduced, the OM314. Typical output for trucks was 59 kW (79 hp), later 63 kW (84 hp).

Licensed production

The OM352 was also one of many Mercedes engines licensed in 1979 for manufacture by Atlantis Diesel Engines (ADE) in South Africa. These were known as ADE 352 and are virtually identical to the Mercedes engines. Recently the OM352 was licensed by TATA for use in their 713S Trucks. These are manufactured by TATA but however have slight differences like the weights no longer being bolted to but rather part of the crank and no holes for oil sprayers in the block. These modifications are likely to reduce complexity and cost of engine production.

Common output power can vary from 92 to 141 kW (125 to 192 PS; 123 to 189 hp) depending on the fuel delivery and air charge options. Higher output can be achieved through special modifications, however engine longevity may be affected with such non-factory modifications.

Improved engines developed after the OM314 and OM352 include the OM364 (4 cyl.) and OM366 (6 cyl.), which look extremely similar in appearance and marked the final stage of development for the 300 series engines due to emissions requirements. Mercedes Benz 900 series engines are the successors of engines such as the OM300 series. [3]

The Unimog 404, also called the Unimog S and Unimog 404 S, is a vehicle of the Unimog-series by Mercedes-Benz, produced in the Unimog plant in Gaggenau from 1955 to 1980. Marketed as Unimog U82, and later Unimog U110, 64,242 units of the two Unimog 404 types 404.0 and 404.1 were built, which makes the 404 the Unimog model with the highest production figure of all Unimogs. Unlike the Unimog 401, the 404 is rather a small 1.5-tonne-offroad-truck than an agricultural vehicle. In Germany, it was a common military vehicle and fire engine, 36,000 Unimog 404 were made for the Bundeswehr.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 406</span> Motor vehicle

The Unimog 406 is a vehicle of the Unimog-series by Mercedes-Benz. A total of 37,069 units were manufactured by the Daimler-Benz AG in the Unimog plant in Gaggenau from 1963 to 1989. The 406 was the first medium duty Unimog, having a larger wheelbase of 2380 mm and more than twice the engine power of the Unimog 401. Unlike the initial Unimog, the 406 does not have a car engine but a heavy duty truck engine instead. Several following Unimog versions were based on the 406. There were eleven different types made of the Unimog 406, which were available in four models with a closed two-door or four-door cab, as Cabrio and as an OEM part. During its long production period, the 406 received several technical refinements. In 1964, the precombustion chamber diesel engine OM 312 was replaced with the direct injected OM 352. Disc brakes followed in 1973. For many enthusiasts, the Unimog 406 represents the classical Unimog, having agricultural and silvicultural applications. It was successful and the best embodiment of the word Universal-Motor-Gerät considering all prior Unimogs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 2010</span> German truck

The Unimog 2010 is a vehicle of the Unimog series made by German manufacturer Daimler-Benz from June 1951 to August 1953 in the Mercedes-Benz Gaggenau plant. It is a technical copy of its predecessor, the Unimog 70200. Despite being sold by Mercedes-Benz dealerships, the Unimog 2010 did not feature the brand's „Mercedes-star“ emblem. Instead, it was solely sold under the Unimog brand, having the ox-head-Unimog emblem on the bonnet; only vehicles purchased by the Swiss army lack the Unimog emblem and have no branding at all. In total, 5,846 units were produced, and five different models were available. All Unimog 2010 vehicles have a wheelbase of 1,720 mm and a canvas roof; a closed cab was not available as a factory option. The name „Unimog 2010“ originates from the German supply firm Erhard & Söhne, which manufactured the Unimog prototypes – all technical drawings, parts and tools of that firm had the part number 2010, which is said to be the reason why Daimler-Benz simply named the Unimog 2010. The Unimog 2010 was succeeded by the Unimog 401 in 1953.

The Unimog 70200 is the first series production model of the Unimog series, made by Gebr. Boehringer. It was manufactured in Boehringer's Göppingen plant from June 1948 to April 1951. In total, 600 units of the 70200 have been made. Manufacture of the Unimog was sold to Daimler-Benz in October 1950, where it was modified for mass production. This mass production optimised Unimog is known as Unimog 2010.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 421</span> German truck

The Unimog 421 is a vehicle of the Mercedes-Benz Unimog series, made by Daimler-Benz. In total, 18,995 units of the Unimog 421 were built from 1966 to 1989 in the Mercedes-Benz Gaggenau plant. It is a medium-sized vehicle bigger than the traditional Unimog 411, but smaller than the Unimog 406. Introduction of new heavy models and Unimog 411 production ceasing in the mid-1970s changed the Unimog 421's role in the Unimog lineup; it became the predecessor of the light Unimog series and thus succeeded the Unimog 411.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 425</span> Motor vehicle

The Unimog 425 is the first series production heavy duty Unimog series, made by Daimler-Benz from 1975 to 1988 in the Mercedes-Benz Gaggenau plant, alongside the long-wheelbase model Unimog 435. It was first presented to the public on the 1974 DLG show in Frankfurt, then named Unimog U 120, indicating a power output of 120 PS. However, series production models were equipped with 125 PS or 150 PS engines, and therefore called U 1300 and U 1500. Daimler-Benz made three types of the Unimog 425, and a total number of 3135 were built, making the 425 much rarer compared to the longer wheelbase, but otherwise similar Unimog 435, of which more than 30,000 were built. The 425 was the first Unimog to feature the "edgy cab", which is still used in the Unimog today.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 419</span> German tractor

The Unimog 419, also known as the Freightliner tractor or simply SEE Tractor, is a military vehicle made by Daimler-Benz for the US Army. It is technically related to the Unimog 406. Daimler-Benz designed four different types of the Unimog 419 and made a total of 2416 units, with most of them being SEE tractors. Manufacture took place at Daimler-Benz's Gaggenau plant in Germany, where the Unimog 419 was assembled using the Unimog 406's chassis, the Unimog 416's engine, and American-made off-the-shelf components such as the entire 24-Volt electrical system. The US Army used the Unimog 419 as a combat engineering vehicle.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Unimog 405</span> Motor vehicle

The Unimog 405 is a vehicle of the Unimog-series by Mercedes-Benz, made by Daimler Truck Holding AG. Developed in the 1990s, the Unimog 405 has been in production since 2000. Originally, DaimlerChrysler produced the Unimog at Gaggenau; in 2002, production was moved to Wörth am Rhein. The Unimog 405 is the implement carrier version of the Unimog and the successor to most previous Unimogs. Although retaining many characteristics typical of the Unimog, the 405's axle and chassis design concept with contral artms instead of torque tubes marks a "paradigmatic change" in Unimog design.
