Vehicle history:
On November 12, 1937, the MNO ordered a prototype amphibious tank.
In March 1939, a prototype was completed, and in June and July of the same year, factory tests were carried out, and unsuitable navigation properties were found.
In May 1939 the tank was redesignated the TO type.
On February 12, 1940, development ended.
On January 16, 1941, the Wehrmacht canceled the original order of the MNO.
The prototype was disassembled into parts that were used in the construction of the ŠET tank.
