The design and production of the special two-way vehicles was undertaken by the Austro-Daimler engineering plant in Vienna. Three people were involved in the construction. Lieutenant Ottokar Landwehr von Pragenau had the leading idea for the layout of the cars. Another designer was engineer Ferdinand Porsche. He designed the electric transmission from the petrol engine to the electric traction motor on the axle. This did not concern only the driving axle of the tractor, but also to the other axles in the tractor set. The overall production concept and drive was then determined by engineer Paul Daimler, owner of the factory in Vienna. This design was granted patent protection under the type and trade name “Daimler-Landwehr-Zug”. In 1908, the first “road train”, designated A-zug, was built according to this design. In 1913, the Czech arms factory Skoda Plzen joined Austro-Daimler. The company specialised in the production of heavy gun tractors for the Austro-Hungarian army in Vienna. In 1913, a modernised version of the Daimler set was created under the designation B-Zug. After successful trials of three prototype B-Zug sets, series production for the Austro-Hungarian army began in 1914. In 1914, 21 sets were produced, in 1915 it was 36 sets and in 1916 the last 15 sets. Overall, 73 “Daimler-Landwehr-B-Zug” sets were produced at the Autro-Daimler Wiener Neustadt factory.
