Even with the influx of all-electric pickup trucks and new models of popular models, we still hold the Unimog in high regard. This marvel of a workhorse boasts top-class German engineering, which endows it with versatile utility. Hence, whenever a special customization hits the internet, we can’t help but share it with our readers. Let us explore the Pucchino.
At first, we find it a bit odd that 4Wheel24 chose the name. After a bit of research, the name appears to be Italian in origin and could either mean an espresso-based beverage or something small. Given how brawny the Unimog U418 is in stature, even in stock form, it seems more like an inside joke.
Anyway, the website confirms coffee was the inspiration behind it all along. “The Pucchino is the logical further development of the celebrated special Macchiato project,” writes the shop. “A vehicle reduced to the essentials – ultra-compact, light, stable. Made for the compass course in the desert.”
A noteworthy feature of this camper conversion is the cabin. Instead of composites, the construction uses an integrated steel frame and timber for its habitation module. Therefore, this motorhome exudes a rustic vibe ideal for outdoor exploration and relaxation.
Moreover, the fact that it sits on top of a muscular machine should appeal to overlanding enthusiasts. While it looks a bit cramped from the outside, ample headroom comes from the pop-up roof tent. The Pucchino display unit even pokes fun at this with a stuffed giraffe toy peeking out of a rollable flap on one side.
