Editing AMR 33 (section)

===Type M===
Late in 1932 – this is known by a later confirming letter dated 18 December 1932 – Renault had a meeting with General Weygand, during which he proposed to develop an entire family of light armoured fighting vehicles based on the AMR 33-chassis. He was especially interested in producing a ''Voiture légère de transport de personnel'', an [[armoured personnel carrier]] capable of transporting four to five infantrymen and having a crew of two and a 19 CV engine. As there was an insufficient budget to equip even a limited part of the Infantry with fully tracked vehicles, this plan was abandoned. However, on 20 March 1933, Renault received an order from the STMAC (''Section Technique des Matériels Automobiles de Combat'') to develop a prototype of a different design discussed with Weygand: a command vehicle corresponding to the specifications of 9 January 1931 for a so-called ''Type M''.<ref>{{harvnb|Vauvillier|2005|p=33}}</ref>

In September 1933, two prototypes were presented in [[Mailly]], which were rebuilt with a more powerful 22 CV engine in 1934. In January 1934, it had been decided to order ten of these, but to use the chassis of the AMR 35 instead. The second prototype would be used in the autumn of 1936 to develop the Renault YS artillery observation vehicle, the production vehicles of which would, however, also be based on the AMR 35 chassis.<ref>{{harvnb|Vauvillier|2005|p=33}}</ref>
