The role of the CVP-4 was primarily the same as the role fulfilled by the Universal Carrier in British service, transporting a machine gun or anti-tank team, and for towing light guns. A trailer was available to help carry stores and ammunition, although it was limited to a combined (trailer and load) weight of 1000kg.

The Germans did not continue production after the armistice of September 1943 and the number of vehicles produced is unknown. There is no trace of combat use.
