Historical Information

The Renault Kegresse NC-29 is a half-track vehicle designed in France for towing light and medium artillery guns, transporting ammunition, and providing logistical support. The Kégresse wheel-track system gave it greater mobility in difficult terrain than traditional wheeled vehicles, which is why it was used in French army artillery units from the early 1930s. Some of these vehicles also ended up in the Polish Army before the outbreak of World War II or were used by the Germans after being captured during the 1939 campaign.

Add-ons and Features
