The Laffly (f) Type V15T was a French light 4×4 artillery tractor captured by the Wehrmacht after the 1940 campaign in France. The Laffly (f) Type V15T was originally used in the French army primarily as a prime mover for the 25 mm Hotchkiss anti-tank gun. Its characteristic features included all-wheel drive and the small auxiliary wheels at the front and undercarriage, which significantly improved its off-road capability.

In German service, the rare V15T was mainly used as a liaison, communications, and light transport vehicle, particularly by occupation and security units in France.

Many vehicles retained their French equipment and camouflage paint schemes, supplemented only by German license plates and Balkenkreuz markings. This very blend of French design and German use makes the Laffly (f) Type V15T a particularly interesting subject for captured vehicle dioramas from the years 1941 to 1944.
