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.[1] The US Army used the Unimog 419 as a combat engineering vehicle.[2]
