The elongated Blitz and four-wheel drive Blitz were two of the variations. A half-tracked Sd.Kfz Maultier (mule) was developed to cope with bad road conditions on the Eastern Front and rasputitsa seasons.

The rival Daimler-Benz plant in Mannheim built about 2,500 Blitz-3.6 trucks on the order of Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments. Production of Mercedes-Benz L3000 had to cease. After the war the Brandenburg facilities were demolished at the Soviet Military Administration’s request. Daimler-Benz Mannheim then resumed production of the Blitz-3.6, under the designation L701, until 1949. Opel assembled the last 467 medium-sized trucks in Russelsheim, until 1954 when production was discontinued.
