The Unimog 70200 is the first series production model of the Unimog series, made by Gebr. Boehringer [de]. It was manufactured in Boehringer's Göppingen plant from June 1948 to April 1951. In total, 600 units of the 70200 were made. Manufacture of the Unimog was sold to Daimler-Benz in October 1950, where it was modified for mass production. The mass-production optimised Unimog is known as Unimog 2010.[1]

The Unimog 70200 name was chosen because of Boehringer's cost centre. All Unimog 70200 vehicle identification numbers begin with 70200. Minuscules were used to differentiate between certain models.[2] It is said that approximately 100–120 Unimog 70200s have been preserved.[1]
