In 1943, two remarkable versions of heavy artillery rocket carriers were built on the chassis of captured French artillery tractors.
The first version had 4 launching cages mounted side by side above the former cargo bay. The calibre of the rockets was either 280mm or 320mm. The range of the missiles was a maximum of 1.8km. The complete set of these four cages was called Wurfrahmen 40 and a total of 54 vehicles Renault UE were fitted with them. An equal number of vehicles were converted to ammunition vehicles. The rocket launchers were organized into batteries of 6 rocket launchers and 6 ammunition vehicles.
The second version had missile cages mounted on the sides of the vehicle,similar to the armoured personnel carrier Sd.Kfz.251 ("Stuka zu Fuss").
The machines operated on French territory.
