We obtain N = 4 gauged supergravity in d = 6 dimensions from dimensional reduction of N = 2, d = 7 gauged supergravity. Starting from a topological mass term in the d = 7 theory one gets an N = 4, d = 6 irreducible model with a two-parameter potential and a local SU(2) in which an antisymmetric rank-two tensor absorbs a Higgs-vector field and becomes massive. Without a topological mass term in d = 7 we get the reducible coupling of pure gauged N = 4 supergravity to a vector multiplet. We also consider various truncations to matter-coupled N = 2 theories. The pure gauged N = 4 supergravity gauges the superalgebra F/sub 4/.
