Panhard K14

The Panhard K14, also called the Panhard 12 HP light van, was a delivery van built by Panhard et Levassor during and just after the First World War. It appeared in 1915 as the replacement for the van version of the X25 touring car, to which it was broadly similar, and was made for the French Army from 1915 to 1919, 978 vehicles of which four were exported, plus 61 aviation estate cars delivered in 1915 to tow aircraft for the military air service. Another 133 were made in 1920 and 1921 for civilian buyers. It kept the four-cylinder 80 by 140 mm engine of the X25, rated at 12 HP, and had an empty weight of 1,650 kg and a payload of 1,500 kg. In 1915 its chassis was chosen for an armoured body designed by Segur and Lorfeuvre, which was finally fitted in 1917 to a White TBC lorry chassis. After the war it left military fleets quickly.
