In the event of a zombie apocalypse it would be ideal, until then I'd give it a miss.

The bike storage bit is average, packing itself into a container is absolutely amazing engineering.

A beautiful level of finish to all of that and as already said amazing engineering. That has to be one of the most overengineered bike storage comparments ever though! Lovely thing to own, but such an overkill! Not quite sure why you'd want to put it in a container like that - especially in a land-locked country like Swaziland. If it's not to make it safe/easy for shipping it would just mean another (bigger) vehicle needed for overland transport when it could have just driven itself. Maybe it's a security feature for when stored statically.

It's built for expeditions.
So the ability to be packed into a container is so it can be shipped to wherever in the world the expedition is with the minimum of fuss.

That is very impressive. I assume the four wheels they have to take off so the chassis & cab goes in the container go above the chassis, but how isn't shown. I'd imagine they aren't light...

That'd be why it has a 540 L fuel tank. 😯
I make that nearly £800 just to fill up with diesel!

that is amazing. Always wanted a Unimog camper.

Would be better if it transformed into the container for shipping though 😀
