VW 276 Schlepperfahrzeug

The Volkswagen Type 276 Schlepperfahrzeug (tractor vehicle) was a derivative of the Type 82 Kübelwagen modified to enable it to tow a load, gun or a trailer.

The intention was to use them in units composed of two modified Schlepperfahrzeug; one towing a 7.5 cm Infanteriegeschütz 37 infantry support gun, the other an ammunition trailer laden with 16 three-round cases of AP shell, and seven men (drivers included). The Type 276 only appeared at the end of 1944 and never went into mass production. .
