This light 4x4 vehicle was developed by SOFRAMAG (later Lohr Industrie) for the French Army airborne troops, which used 300 of these.

It has a chassis built of welded tubes, with the cargo area at the back (formed by aluminium panels), the engine in the middle (transversally positioned) and the driver at the front left (protected by a demountable U-shaped safety bar).

It can be air transported either by cargo plane or by helicopter: The engine is a Citroen 602cc flat twin.

All the running gear is from the Citroen A series "family" except for the steering column which is from the H van.
