People always think that the sense of security in off-roading comes from its heavy armor, but they forget that the sharpness of the wind, the swiftness of the eagle, and the grace of the antelope all stem from defying gravity. In this ever-changing era, the way to conquer the wilderness is also being re-evaluated. The endurance of the fuel tank, the tolerance of the terrain, and even the moral sense of tires crushing the tundra are all being re-priced by "weight". Today, we are going to introduce to you the ARMADILLO Climber S, which will show you through a weight reduction revolution that true off-road freedom begins with respect for every gram of weight!
ARMADILLO Climber S, with overall dimensions of approximately 5995×2490×3490 mm, features a square body contour that complements the iconic trapezoidal frame of the Unimog, resembling a mobile steel fortress. It not only continues the classic lineage of the Unimog but also breaks tradition with its ultra-lightweight design, setting a trend in the off-road RV field.
It is built on the Mercedes Unimog U4023 chassis, which is renowned as the "King of Off-Road". It is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder 5.2-liter diesel turbocharged engine that can instantly deliver a maximum power of 231 horsepower and a peak torque of 900 Nm, specifically designed for off-road adventures.
Such a power configuration, combined with the iconic portal axle structure of the Unimog, endows the Climber S with excellent off-road capabilities. With a minimum ground clearance of 485 mm, an approach angle of 44 degrees, a departure angle of 34 degrees, and a breakover angle of 41 degrees, it can navigate various complex terrains with ease, providing greater maneuverability and better performance when climbing and descending slopes.
The Dunlop 405/70R20 professional off-road tire features a large particle tread design, combined with a central inflation and deflation system, allowing for one-click switching between "Highway", "Off-Road", "Desert/Mud/Snow", and "Emergency" modes, instantly unlocking all-terrain adaptability.
Lightweight design is the core essence of the Climber S, with innovation permeating every detail. The vehicle body adopts a full carbon fiber frameless hot-pressed sandwich structure, utilizing top-tier dry carbon technology to cure high-strength carbon fiber prepreg into a single piece under high temperature and high pressure. Compared to traditional RV body materials, the application of carbon fiber not only effectively controls the overall weight of the vehicle but also enhances fuel efficiency and handling performance while ensuring vehicle strength. Additionally, it eliminates the issue of metal heat conduction, significantly improving thermal insulation. Furthermore, carbon fiber materials exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, extending the vehicle's lifespan.
The 320-liter main fuel tank, paired with a 75-liter auxiliary fuel tank (optional), a 320-liter fresh water tank, a 70-liter black water tank, and a 60-liter gray water tank, are all made from low-density, high-strength titanium alloy. Even the interior panels of the cabin are made from new ultra-light materials. These materials are not only lightweight but also environmentally friendly and durable, reducing the overall weight of the vehicle while creating a comfortable and healthy living environment inside. Every detail reflects the Climber S's dedication to lightweight design, aiming to provide users with a superior off-road travel experience.
Such an outstanding Unimog Climber S, its interior space is equally worth looking forward to. In the next issue, let's delve into its internal structure together and see how it creates a comfortable mobile space for the driver and passengers while ensuring off-road performance!
