Already in the early days of production Sd.Kfz.250 and Sd.Kfz.251 and their unarmoured platforms Sd.Kfz.10 and Sd.kfz.11[url=/topic/view/123845]Demag was launched to develop successors to these tractors and armoured vehicles under the designation HK 6. A pair of cooperating companies, Hanomag and Demag, took part in the development. The firms used a number of identical components in their designs, so as to achieve parts unification in the eventual mass production. However, the development of the HK 6 series was cancelled in late 1942 and none of the types developed were mass-produced. By the end of 1941, interest was concentrated on the Kätzchen tracked armoured personnel carrier programme.

Overview of the development versions of the HK 6 series:
HK 6.01 (HK 6.01a) - successor to the Sd.Kfz.10 and Sd.kfz.11 artillery tractors (Hanomag)
HKp 6.02 - successor to Sd.Kfz.250 (Demag)
HKp 6.03 - successor to Sd.Kfz.251 (Hanomag)
HK 6.05 (HK 6.05a) - artillery tractor (Demag)
HKp 6.06 - armoured personnel carrier - final form of successor Sd.Kfz.250 (Demag)
HKp 6.07 - combination of Hanomag/Demag designs, final form of successor Sd.Kfz.250 and Sd.Kfz.251
