This curious adaptation was inspired by remote-controlled demolition vehicles Goliath.
A heavily modified hull of English Bren Carriers was used, which was filled with explosives (460 kg). Reportedly, 17 examples were made and used on the Eastern Front near Leningrad in 1942.

The Panzer Tracts publication cited in the sources (see below) mentions a modification of the Bren Carriers and Belgian Vickers Utility Tractor artillery tractors, where these machines were intended to carry a 650 kg charge. In this case, the Bren Carrier did not have a redesigned structure, it was merely supplemented with a control mechanism. It was to be operated remotely using a 1200 m long cable. At least 30 of these demolition vehicles were to be deployed in 6/1942 in the Crimea as part of the 3. Kompanie/Panzer Abteilung 300 (F.L.) during the siege of Sevastopol.
