30 Second Briefing
Mercedes-Benz Trucks has appointed Lancashire-based Multevo as the sixth specialist Unimog sales dealer in the UK, adding to its role in the Unimog authorised repair network since May 2024. Multevo, which supplies multi-purpose equipment to more than 40% of local authorities, most major airports and Tier 1 contractors, recently expanded its headquarters to a 2.5-acre site with a dedicated service centre and employs over 400 staff. Unimog operators will now have sales support from Multevo and aftersales coverage from 24 authorised repairers nationwide.
Technical Brief
- Appointment makes Multevo the sixth specialist Unimog sales dealer within the UK distribution structure.
- Multevo joined the Unimog authorised repair network in May 2024, before gaining sales status.
- The company’s headquarters expansion to a 2.5‑acre site includes a purpose-built Unimog service centre.
- Over 400 staff provide capacity for fleet maintenance, attachment fitting and rapid turnaround of multi-purpose units.
- Multevo’s customer base includes more than 40% of UK local authorities plus most major airports.
- In 2025 Multevo ranked 68th in the Financial Times list of Europe’s fastest growing companies.
- Nationwide support is underpinned by 24 Unimog authorised repairers, reducing downtime for remote infrastructure projects.
Our Take
Within our 814 Infrastructure stories, UK fleet and plant pieces rarely feature a supplier with Multevo’s scale, so its role as a Unimog dealer signals that Mercedes-Benz Trucks is leaning on an already embedded highways contractor rather than a traditional truck distributor.
Supplying solutions to more than 40% of UK local authorities gives Multevo unusual leverage to bundle Unimog product, maintenance and retrofit packages into existing term contracts, which could accelerate Unimog penetration in highways and winter service fleets without separate procurement cycles.
Being named 68th in the Financial Times’ 2025 growth ranking suggests Multevo’s 2.5-acre Lancashire base and 400+ staff are likely to keep expanding, so operators can treat this as a relatively low-risk long-term service partner for Unimog assets compared with smaller regional dealers.
