The Light Tank V4 was one of Nicholas Straussler's earlier armoured vehicle projects. The V4 had a cross-articulated three-point suspension with leaf springs and rubber bogie rollers. The V4 was actually used experimentally to develop pontoon devices for ferrying purposes. The tank remained in prototype form only.
