From 1929, Citroën Kégresse P15N, vehicles with caterpillar tracks, were used as post buses in Austria. These vehicles, whose rear wheels were replaced by a tracked drive, were ideal for winter road conditions.
These half-track vehicles were developed by the French engineer Adolphe Kégresse. The P15N - the designation "N" stands for "neige", the French word for snow - was manufactured in 1928 specifically for driving in snow. The skids on the front wheels made the vehicle steerable even in deep snow, and the caterpillar tracks were equipped with rubber blocks for driving on snow-free sections. Citroën Kégresse P15N were used as Austrian post buses for seven, later up to eleven passengers until the 1950s on mountain roads, especially in the Arlberg region and in the Tauern. In addition to the mail, they mainly transported tourists to the ski resorts.
