Kolohousenka was a series of Czechoslovakian wheeled and tracked light tanks developed by Skoda, CKD and Tatra.
After the appearance of tanks in World War I, Czechoslovakia began to build their own tanks. As two disadvantages of tanks are the low durability of the tracks and slow speed, the Czechoslovak Army decided to build a vehicle which could run on both tracks and wheels.
In 1923, the Czechoslovak Army acquired a blueprint for a tank with tracks and wheels from the German engineer, Joseph Vollmer. Skoda, CKD and Tatra produced the first two prototypes of the Kolohousenka series under the designation KH-50, KH for Kolohousenka and 50 for the engine size in horsepower.
