Several models of the turret (AMX ELC bis) were tested on chassis manufactured from plans created by Hotchkiss. The vehicle’s drive suspension featured four roadwheels and two top rollers on each side. A new chassis began development in 1957, and was completed in 1961 under the designation of the ELC bis; this newer prototype had five roadwheels per side. The prototype is preserved at the Museum of Armour in Saumur.

The ELC project was a French initiative to develop a light tank that could be airlifted to support airborne operations. The project started in 1955 and resulted in two prototypes, the ELC AMX and the ELC EVEN. Both tanks had a similar design, with a two-man crew, a 90 mm gun, and an oscillating turret. The main difference was that the ELC AMX had six road wheels and a hydropneumatic suspension, while the ELC EVEN had four road wheels and a torsion bar suspension. The ELC project was cancelled in 1961 due to budget constraints and changing military requirements. The prototypes were used for testing and evaluation until they were retired in the 1970s.
