Munitionsschlepper Pz.Kpfw. IV is a German tracked ammunition truck from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the car were built in 1939, but small-series production probably started in 1941. It is assumed that the length of the car was 5.92 meters, with a width of 2.98 meters. The weight of the car was probably about 24.5 tons. The vehicle did not have any permanent weapons. Munitionsschlepper Pz.Kpfw. IV was developed as a highly specialized ammunition vehicle designed for servicing Karl Gerät 040/041 self-propelled mortars. Its design was based on the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. D and F1. Compared to its prototype, the presented car had a redesigned front part of the fuselage and the turret with the main armament was removed from it. On the other hand, in the rear part of the car, on the engine compartment, there was a container in which 3 to 4 600 mm rounds were transported for the Karl mortar. The vehicle was also equipped with a special crane designed to carry these cartridges. It can be assumed that a total of about 15 vehicles of this type were built, including prototypes.
