This unarmed armored personel carrier was based on Daimler DZVR chassis
and entered service with reformed in December of 1920, Reichswehr.

MTW was designed to carry 12 men and 3 crewmen.
This heavy personel carrier weightened 11 tons and had poor cross-country performance
even with four-wheel drive, because of its solid rubber tires.
Vehicles remained in service into 1930s and entered service with newly
formed Wehrmacht as Sd.Kfz.3. They were quickly relegated to tactical
training duties as reconnaissance armored cars. Some were equipped with
radio sets and frame antennas and were used as radio command vehicles.
