The French engineer [[Adolphe Kégresse]] converted a number of cars from the personal car pool of Tsar [[Nicholas II of Russia]] to half-tracks in 1911. The [[Kégresse track]] used a flexible belt rather than interlocking metal segments. It was applied to several vehicles in the imperial garage, including [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]] cars and [[Packard]] trucks. The [[Imperial Russian Army]] also fitted the system to a number of its [[Austin Armoured Car]]s. From 1916 onward, Austin-Putilov model  military half-tracks were produced   along the same lines at the [[Kirov Plant|Putilov Plant]] using trucks and French track parts.

After the [[Russian Revolution]] and the establishment of the [[Soviet Union]], Kégresse returned to his native France, where the system was used on [[Citroën]] cars between 1921 and 1937 for off-road and military vehicles.
