Because the Wehrmacht had no need for a wheel-track vehicle as towing vehicle, one decided to use the existing parts for the production of a one-off series of an armoured observation vehicle. The finished first 15 serial vehicles were converted to a maintenance vehicle with a payload of 1.5 tons. In 1940, the designation was changed to Saurer RK 7 by the Heereswaffenamt and the identification number Sd. Kfz. 254 was assigned. The illustrated vehicle is one of these rare mittlerer Instandsetzungskraftwagen (Sd. Kfz. 254) type Saurer RK 7.
