Daimlerchrysler – other commercial models: the collective page of Mercedes-Benz Atego, Vario and Unimog trucks from the 1998–2007 group era, 110 to 295 kW, 3.5 to 32 t gross weight
DaimlerChrysler AG was the name under which Daimler-Benz and the Chrysler Corporation operated as one group from 1998 to 2007; the commercial vehicle division continued building Mercedes-Benz-branded trucks and vans unchanged throughout that period. This collective page lists models the register could not assign to a named range, including the medium-duty Atego, the light Vario, and the all-purpose Unimog; the type designations follow Mercedes' scheme combining rounded gross weight and an engine code, for example 815 for around 8 t gross weight with roughly 150 hp, or 1823 for 18 t with roughly 230 hp.

The register lists 37 versions here with 110 to 295 kW from four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2,148 to 14,618 cm³ displacement, kerb weights of 2,138 to 16,700 kg, gross vehicle weights of 3,500 to 32,000 kg, and lengths from 5,850 to 8,900 mm and widths from 1,990 to 2,550 mm.
This span covers the entire medium and heavy segment of Mercedes-Benz, from distribution trucks to construction-site vehicles, reflecting the group's role as one of Europe's largest commercial vehicle makers during a period when the brand was run alongside Chrysler's US passenger car business.
Buying used, on the Atego and Vario check the condition of the cab and frame, engine and gearbox mileage, brakes and axles, while on the Unimog check portal axles, power take-off and implement interface condition. Parts for all three ranges run through the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle network and remain well supplied even for older model years.
