Powered by a 100hp 8,553cc diesel engine, it could tow loads of up to 20 tons, making it essential for moving heavy artillery, towing disabled vehicles, and transporting aircraft on airfields. Its versatility also saw it used in the deployment of V2 rockets, cementing its role as one of the most important utility vehicles in the German arsenal.
