During the first program for motorizing the Reichswehr from 1926, development of three-axled cross-country lorries with a payload of 3 tons was demanded besides others.
Three companies were involved in the development: Büssing, Henschel and Krupp. The first Henschel model - the Henschel type 33 B 1 - was delivered in 1928.
