Your ultimate expedition vehicle starts here - Engineered for adventure, and designed to take you anywhere

The Atkinson Vos Signature Series comprises well engineered torsion free subframes and camper boxes which like the Unimog are robust and off road capable but lightweight as we understand that every kilogram counts.

Our Capabilities Include...

COMPOSITE HABITATION BOXES

Your expedition vehicle’s habitation box is more than just a structure—it’s your home on the road. That’s why we’ve engineered our composite habitation boxes to withstand the toughest environments while keeping you comfortable, no matter where your adventures take you.

Our high-strength composite GRP and XPS foam panels are completely free from metal framing, eliminating cold bridges and maximizing insulation. This keeps the interior warm in winter, cool in summer, and free from condensation buildup—crucial for long-term off-grid travel.

Unlike standard composite panels, our design has been specifically optimised for expedition vehicles, ensuring unmatched durability in extreme conditions. The woven GRP inner and outer skins provide superior impact resistance, protecting your vehicle from the inevitable knocks and scrapes of overland travel. Meanwhile, our staggered dual-layer XPS foam core eliminates weak and cold points, offering exceptional structural integrity and thermal efficiency.

Our walls are 64mm thick, with an 84mm reinforced floor, striking the perfect balance between insulation, strength, and weight.

With our habitation boxes, you get the best of all worlds: lightweight strength, exceptional insulation, and the rugged durability needed for serious adventure.

The connection to the subframe is achieved using innovative GRP bolts with recessed spreader plates, minimizing intrusion into your living space. These bolts conduct heat 100 times less than steel, ensuring a completely cold-bridge-free structure—something metal-framed alternatives simply can’t offer whilst providing a strong connection.Panel cutaway

TORSION FREE SUBFRAMES

A strong, reliable subframe is the foundation of any expedition vehicle—and ours are the best in the business. Developed through years of real-world experience and computer simulations, our subframes are designed to protect your habitation box while preserving the Unimog’s legendary off-road performance.

Using the original Mercedes mounting points, we employ a 4-point torsion-free system that eliminates excessive stress on the habitation box, preventing damage from chassis articulation and ensuring a longer lifespan. This allows the chassis to flex as Mercedes intended while keeping your living space secure. The design also enables the integration of a pass through, providing easy access between the cab and habitation box.

Our subframes are built to fully support our composite habitation boxes without the need for any internal metal framework. Additionally, the lightweight design lowers the vehicle’s centre of gravity, improving on-road handling and reducing body roll in extreme off-road conditions.

For those seeking the ultimate in durability, we also offer a premium stainless steel subframe option. Designed to withstand the harshest environments, it offers unparalleled resistance to corrosion, ensuring your vehicle remains expedition-ready for years to come.

Our expertly designed and fabricated subframes offer complete peace of mind—wherever the road takes you.Subframe trimmed

ACCESSORIES & OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Take your expedition vehicle to the next level with our wide range of accessories tailored to Unimogs and Expedition Vehicles.

The most common requests from new Unimog owners are to enhance cruising ability and to improve comfort in the cab.

 Larger tyres, faster crownwheel & pinion, faster hub gears and gearbox upgrades all provide worthwhile increases in overall transmission ratio. The optimum solution depends on the base vehicle.

We can provide a full suite of measures to improve cab refinement including air-suspension seats, sound deadening, engine blankets and if all else fails a stereo and speakers!

Long range diesel tanks are also a popular option to increase range whilst our amazing LED headlight kit lights up the road for safety in all conditions.

Lars-Erik Bammis Ohlsson

When I bought my U1000 “Rustbucket” , Simon gave me a fair & frank appraisal of its condition. The mog was cleaned and shipped professionally with no issues upon landing here in Australia. Since then, AV has provided me with excellent spares support and the occasional bit of advice. Posting was always prompt and economical via Royal Mail – this has taken a lot of the pain out of restoration. Highly recommended.

Pieter

Atkinson Vos not only supplied my Unimog some years ago but they have been ever present when I needed any advice or assistance. My Unimog recently underwent a full refurbishment in their workshop and I have to say the result has been nothing short of superb. My Moggy is not only in great mechanical shape but it looks great too. Top marks Atkinson Vos.

James Mc Donnell, Ireland

Whenever I drive my MOG on to their yard, I have a feeling of excitement about the opportunities for upgrade and improvement that Atkinson Vos offers. Anything is possible, and everything is done to a very high standard!. Atkinson Vos prepared my Unimog to an excellent standard. Their aftersales service is great too.

Roelf

Hi Simon, The shims arrived last week. My unimog is now running perfectly! Thank you a lot for the excellent service, I really appreciate it!

Casper Hanekamp

We have been using Atkinson Vos for a number of years now, they have carried out some upgrades and all servicing and repairs, their staff are friendly and always willing to help. The workshop guys always offer advice and easy fix solutions over the phone and on the odd occasion visited our workshop to view and inspect the vehicle. I would not hesitate to recommend the company, Thanks to all the staff.

I have waited many years to start my expedition RV project and the team at Atkinson Vos has helped to bring this to fruition. Appreciated the quick responses to the myriad of questions I had additionally the support from build to delivery state side. Many thanks to the entire team at AV.

Mike Greenberg

"We have always prided ourselves with finding the best qualified people available, be they doctors, lawyers, engineers, or whomever. We applied the same process to finding our dream Mog Expedition Camper and have not been disappointed with Atkinson Vos. Paul and Emma both have done superb jobs answering our many questions and leading us through the purchasing / export / import process. Based on their performance to date, we are confident Atkinson Vos support will be there in the future where ever our travels may take us.”

Mary & J R Argo

"Atkinson Vos are the absolute experts on UNIMOGS in my opinion. They offer wonderful advice apart from sourcing spares and thereby make things so much easier" "I would go to them rather than any German supplier for my UNIMOGS. All put together, it's the best package deal." "Simon and Frank are passionate in what they do and men of their word. That's what I think sets them apart. They have literally turned me into a Unimog addict."

Solomon Benjamin

"We first met with with Atkinson Vos at the Adventure Overland Show in Stratford-upon-Avon. Frank and Paul had really impressed us as hosts and as a result we were determined to travel to the headquarters in Bentham. After a smooth discussion with Simon and Frank, we were certain that we found the partner to upgrade our Unimog. Two weeks later work had already started! We have too many kind words for Simon, Emma, Paul, Mark and the rest of the team to fit in this testimonial! Their knowledge and expertise in Unimogs made us feel assured. We were helped and cared for throughout the whole process, They are a phenomenal team, and we enjoyed the time we spend with them, Thanks guys! Souren and Kati"

Souren and Kati

"The inspection of my Unimog was executed thoroughly and the itemized repair quote was reasonable. In short my Unimog is a testament to the fantastic work delivered by Atkinson Vos. This is a compliment coming from someone who appreciates quality work and has an eye for detail."

Joe Dos Santos

After taking on bigger tree work as my business grew, I knew I needed a Unimog. After doing my research on different commercial vehicles sold in the UK i found Atkinson Vos and I felt I was in good hands. The quality of service, care and reliability from Simon and his team has been a really good experience. The team have built my Unimog to the exact spec of what I needed. I'm over the moon with it. I'm getting lots of feedback from customers and passers by that are impressed by the green machine. I would highly recommend Atkinson Vos to anyone that specialises in Arboriculture.

“Thank you for sorting out the Unimog parts. Well chuffed at the minimal corrosion and the quality of the bits. Thank the boys from the workshop for me. They were brilliant helping us load up. “

Tim Richardson

"Mark has done a fantastic job and in poor weather conditions too, he resolved an unexpected pump failure and replaced it in time for us to use the Unimog almost immediately after he finished. Our unimog has been on some high profile jobs since Mark left and has impressed all who have seen it in action"

Jim

Forth Logistics

"As a company owner Great British sports cars in the automotive sector, I know how important it is to have a team that offers great customer service but also has the depth of technical knowledge of their products, this has been especially helpful with a personal project of mine restoring an 1969 Unimog 416 were finding people that really know there stuff has been invaluable."

Richard Hall

Great British Sports Cars

We own an expedition camper, built on a 1990 Mercedes Benz 4WD truck. While the mileage was low, we were worried about parts that might have suffered from age. Atkinson Vos gave the truck a comprehensive survey and then performed a week’s worth of repairs and upgrades. The result is like having a new truck. Wonderful to work with people who really understand this type of vehicle. Our highest recommendation.

FREDERICK COOK

Emma and Paul, Just a quick message to let you know the Mog was delivered on time and very professionally this morning. Thank you for arranging the transport quickly after our haulier let us down a couple of times. I hope to use Atkinson Vos again in the future as the Mog has exceeded all expectations, the paint finish, and the overall cleanliness of the machine is second to none. Many thanks again to both of you for a smooth sale and for keeping us updated throughout the process.

FILIPE CUNHA

Anthony

Fletcher Access

I contacted Atkinson Vos as I wanted to add a three point linkage to a Unimog 406 which I’d recently bought to restore. They took care to make sure that the parts supplied were suitable for my Unimog and I ended up buying several other parts from them for the restoration. They’ve always been very helpful and interested in my project.

Ieuan Davies

Mark and Andy were onto the truck “like greased lightning”. I was extremely impressed with both their product knowledge, as well as their attention to detail. They are both a true credit to the company ….. I was delighted to see that the windows had been fitted in an extremely professional manner, and that all the outstanding works had been completed to an extremely high standard, with all faults rectified.
