Danish Army
Specific: First demonstration
of the Tempo took place in November 1936. The evaluation
turned out fine, and a single car was purchased in
December 1936 for further trials. The units conducting
the trials didŽnt agree in the first test results.
After a traffic accident the car was sent to the factory
for a rebuild and some changes. This resulted, after a
new set of trials, in ordering further 4 vehicles in
1938. These were further tested and, as a result of these
tests, furthers cars were bought. The shown vehicle is
pulling a 37mm Bofors M1937 anti-tank gun.
In total, 20 cars made their way into service in the
Danish Army.
