The Mercedes-Benz Unimog 6EV Tractor by industrial designer Victor Uribe has been designed to reduce some noise at airports. The Unimog 6EV can be used to do a variety of tasks from towing an aircraft to a simple transporter. Designed like the cockpit of jet fighters, the cabin provides enough space for two occupants.
The vehicle runs on six wheels, each of which contains a powerful electric motor that makes this tractor noise and emissions-free. The four real wheels are attached to the driver’s cabin via an axis that allows wider rotation convenience to the vehicle.
To reduce the overall weight of the tractor, the designer proposes use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber, basalt fiber and aluminum. The cockpit is covered with solar panels, and thanks to a HUD display, the driver can easily know where the next plane to be towed to the hangar is located.
