1904 Charron Armoured Car - http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/france/Fra-1904Charron.jpg "The worlds first true production armored car. The Charron Armored Car was produced by the French firm of Charron-Girardotet Voigt. This company had already produced some partly armored cars for overseas sales. In 1903 the company presented an armored car for testing by the French military but this was not accepted. Again the company presented two improved cars in 1904 and received more positive results. One was purchased by France and promptly sent to Morocco. The second was sold to Russia and promptly used against rioters in St. Petersburg to such effect that Russia wanted more! Its weight was 3 tons and it was armed with one machine gun." (source: http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/france/France-Other.html ) |

It is from 1906 not 1904. There were two versions of the Charron, Girardot et Voigt armored car, the original from 1902 was only partially armored, and the improved version (this one) from 1906. It is mentioned in this article, though this focuses on the 1902 version https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww1/france/charron-girardot-voigt-model-1902 |
