• General:
  • New Description / Source reference
    In 1954, a conference on future heavy tanks was held in Detroit. Several preliminary designs for new vehicles were presented, and Chrysler Corporation proposed developing a new heavy tank based on one of them (TS-31). The main goal was to create a vehicle that could easily pass through the Bern National Tunnel. After working through several options, work on the tank was stopped.
