Movement in the water was to be ensured by the work of the tracks and the keel, which was mounted on the aft of the hull.

Tests showed that the vehicle was slow and poorly manoeuvrable in the water - the afloat car was completely unmanageable, and poor sea conditions only increased the resulting problems. The army rejected the project. In 1934 the project was discontinued.
