They were Dual Tracked Vehicles which used a Single BMW Diesel Engine, which produced 290-HP. Armor Plating was rated to .03 to .07-inches, throughout. The primary Main Gun was the 75mm and secondary (supportive Main Gun of a 37mm). Augmenting these were (3) 7.92mm Machine Guns. The Neubaufahrzeug crewed (6).
