The Kettenkrad was designed as a small tractor (prime mover) to tow a trailer or a small gun (20 mm AA or 3,7 cm AT).It carries a crew of three soldiers. The driver and two passengers. The passengers are facing backwards.The Kettenkrad is not armo(u)red and not armed. Some versions have three riffle holders to carry the riffles of the crew.The engine comes from the well known OPEL OLYMPIA car. NSU was a motorcycle factory and produced only one cylinder engines with up to 600 ccm, which were not powerful enough for the Kettenkrad. To save the work and the time for the developing of an own engine, NSU took the reliable OPEL engine from the stock. The OPEL OLYMPIA car was in Wehrmacht use, too, so the mechanics in the field knew the engine.Gearbox with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, plus transfer box for "Gelände" (Off-road) und "Straße" (Road). So in total there are 6 forward and 2 reverse gears.Fuel consumption:On the road: 16 litres/100 km (18 mpg (imperial))Off road: 22 litres/100 km (13 mpg (imperial)) and more, depending on the terrain.The fuel tank capacity is 2 x 21 litres. So each of the two fuel tanks can take a full jerrycan. «
