The Canon d’Assaut Lorraine was a French tank destroyer and assault gun, designed upon the chassis of the AMX M4 project.
After the Second World War, the French Army issued various projects to replace their obsolete tanks.
The Lorraine company was tasked with producing a light tank destroyer derived from the AMX-50 project.
The Canon d’Assaut Lorraine featured Veil-Picard pneumatic tires in place of road wheels which lowered the ground pressure of the vehicle.
Another advantage of the tires is that the vehicle can still move if the tracks are damaged.
