The Panzer IV/70 (A) (Sd.Kfz.162/1) was one of two variants armed with the same Pak 42 L/70 gun. In order to send Pak 42 L/70 armed vehicles to the front as soon as possible, in July 1944 the Heereswaffenamt ordered an interim solution to speed up Nibelungenwerke's transition from Panzer IV production to Panzer IV/70 production.
"A" stands for Alkett, a manufacturer of the StuG III, that was ordered to redesign the Jagdpanzer IV superstructure to be mounted onto a standard Panzer IV chassis. The Vomag design used a modified chassis permitting a very low silhouette. Mounting the superstructure onto the original Panzer IV chassis required additional vertical steel plates mounted onto the chassis to counter height differences. The resulting vehicle was about 40 cm taller and lacked the sharp edged nose of the Vomag variant. Only 278 were built by Nibelungenwerke from August 1944 to March 1945.
