Founded in the midst of the Great War, Cross Trucking Company was a result of the Army of Burgundie's research into lighter wheeled armored vehicles. After adopting the Urcean AmP 38 in larger numbers it was clear that an native armorer personnel carrier manufacturing capability was necessary. Super heavy tank manufacturers were winding down production but were not tooled to transition immediately to lighter vehicles. The Antoteaux Motor Carriage Company purchased a limited run license from Urcea to produce the AmP 38 in 1942. The Battle of Tor Koth proved the value of lightweight highly maneuverable armored vehicles and the Antoteaux bought an increased production license. Several engineers recommended improvements to the design but management deemed any changes out of scope of the contrqct and therefore suppressed innovation. The engineers lobbied harder throughout 1943-1945 but were turned down. It became increasingly obvious that the 1938 iteration would need improvements to maintain it viability but the upper echelon refused to alter the contract parameters.
