The Char B1 was a French heavy tank manufactured before the Second World War. It had a crew of four and was well-armored for its time. The original Char B1 had a fully traversing APX1 turret with a 47mm gun. It was armed with a 75mm gun mounted on the right-hand side of the hull front and two 7.5mm machine guns: one in the hull and the other in the turret. The engine was officially rated at 250hp but had an actual output of 272hp. The range was about 200 km. A total of 34 vehicles were built from December 1935 until July 1937.
