French half-track artillery tractor designed for 155 mm howitzers. This version (de caisson) had a storage area for material or gun crew protected by a full-cloth shelter stretched over a metal frame structure.
In 1932, the MCG 4 version was launched, replaced a year later by the improved MCG 5 version (more powerful engine).

One of the many types of semi-tractors that were inspired by the patent of Ing. Kegresse. After Citroen's success with this type of drive, other similar machines appeared (Unic, Latill...). The SOMUA MCG was designed in the early 1930s and was primarily intended as a tractor for the Schneider 155 mm calibre howitzers, but the vehicle was also used as a salvage and workshop vehicle. A simple crane could be mounted on the rear for placing the gun on the turntable. The towing capacity was 15 tons on the road and about 7 tons off-road. The Germans captured a considerable number of these vehicles and used them under the designation ZgKfw S307(f).
