half-trackers

Wheels and treads

Half-trackers are military vehicles with conventional wheels at the front and continuous tracks at the rear, combining the steering of a truck with the traction of a tank.

Widely used in World War II for troop transport and as weapons platforms, they could traverse rough terrain while maintaining road speed.

The design has largely been supplanted by fully tracked or wheeled armored vehicles.
