SUVs have taken over America's roads. Ad campaigns promote them as safer and "greener" than ordinary cars and easy to handle in bad weather. But very little about the SUV's image is accurate. They poorly protect occupants and inflict horrific damage in crashes, they guzzle gasoline, and they are hard to control. Keith Bradsher has been at the forefront in reporting the calamitous safety and environmental record of SUVs, including the notorious Ford-Firestone rollover controversy. In High and Mighty, he traces the checkered history of SUVs, showing how they came to be classified not as passenger cars but as light trucks, which are subject to less strict regulations on safety, gas mileage, and air pollution. He makes a powerful case that these vehicles are even worse than we suspect--for their occupants, for other motorists, for pedestrians and for the planet itself. In the tradition of Unsafe at Any Speed and Fast Food Nation, Bradsher's book is a damning exposé of an industry that puts...

Mercedes-Benz - Unimog UX100

The Unimog trucks were widely used in public works, and the idea to create a vehicle specially adapted to these works was born. Why the municipal vehicle should have big all-terrain wheels, impressive ground clearance and half-bonnet design? As a result, in 1996 an untypical Unimog UX100 was presented. This vehicle has a cabin with an excellent visibility and a convenient enter-exit, as well as small-diameter wheels. The trucks were equipped with a 5-speed manual or automatic (for 4x4 versions) transmission. Nevertheless, this model did not become popular, because it was not so multi-purpose as the classic Unimog. A width of UX100 was 1.7 m, and a height was 2 m. Despite its modest size, the UX100 could carry up to 2 tons of cargo, and work as snow plow truck. It was equipped with a 4 - or 5-cylinder diesel engines "OM601" or "OM602" with an output of 73 or 122 hp. The steering wheel together with the dashboard and the pedals could easily move from right to left side of the truck - you just need turn the lever-clamp and move all to a chosen side.
