As the company changed its name the model was renamed to Tatra 10 in 1919 and remained in production until 1925. The production version was able to reach 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). In 1921 a 140 km/h racing version was created.

The Type U was fitted with brakes on all four wheels, probably the first production car in the world with such brake system.^[1][2]
