Le véhicule semi-chenillé Sd.kfz 250 disposait d’un blindage léger, et disposait de remarquables capacités en tout-terrains.

Parmi les véhicules produits, le Sd. kfz 7, tracteur semi-chenillé, fut sûrement le plus réussi. Cet engin de 8 tonnes était principalement utilisé par les unités d’artillerie pour tracter le célèbre canon antiaérien de 88 mm et le canon lourd de campagne de 150 mm. [Il] est construit sur un châssis de camion conventionnel modifié. La suspension avant est constituée de ressorts à lamelles. À l'arrière, des ressorts à lamelles et barres de torsion sont reliés au train de roulement compact typique aux véhicules militaires allemands de l'époque. Le moteur Maybach délivrait 140 chevaux assurant une vitesse de pointe de l'ordre de 50 km/h. 4, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20semi%2Dchenill%C3%A9
