The Gefechtskraftwagen - combat motor vehicle - (Kfz. 18) mit Fahrgestell des m. Pkw. (o) - with chassis of the medium passenger car (commercial) - , abbreviated Gef. Kw. (Kfz. 18), had two seats and a loading platform at the rear. Until now, this superstructure could be verified based on chassis of Adler (12 N-RW, 12 N-3G), Mercedes-Benz (Stuttgart 260) and Wanderer (W 11 10/50 PS). No prove could be found that this superstructure variant was manufactured based on the m. gl. Pkw. or the s. gl. Pkw.
