In 1940, a tank fighter project based on the artillery tractor platform Lorraine 37L, or the planned infantry fighting vehicle Lorraine 39L VBCP ( Véhicule Blindé de Chasseurs Porté), was created. An anti-tank gun Canon de 47 antichar SA mle [url=https://www.valka.cz/topic/view/34732/]Canon de 47 antichar SA mle] was to be mounted in the rear of the vehicle, where there was room for the infantry to be carried. 37 APX of 47 mm calibre. The cannon was turned towards the rear. In the centre of the armoured superstructure was the ammunition storage for the gun. This emergency project was only completed to drawing form. The guns were to form the armament of separate anti-tank batteries (BACA - Batteries Anti Chars Automotours).
Another project on the same platform, the Lorraine 37L antichar, was at least in prototype form.
