The result of official reaction to Colonel Estienne’s initiative, this tank also was named after its builder. Better armed, with a long 75mm gun, and mechanically much more sophisticated, it was far superior to its ‘rival’. A thermic engine drove a generator which, in turn, supplied current to two electric motors, one for each track. The differential supply allowed the vehicle to be steered. A clever but complicated system which gave rise to operational problems.
