... and now imagine the length or pass time of a reinforced infantry company driving in vehicles with an average of only 2-3 men per vehicle, with proper military safety spacing (100 m, at the very least 50 m) and economical cruise speed of 80 kph.

Next, imagine what happens with all those vehicles once infantry dismounts to sweep a village. Would an entire platoon stay back to secure the many, many vehicles so school-aged boys cannot set them aflame?



This vehicle size (capacity) is of interest for dispersed actions, for skirmishing on an operational scale. It's no good logistically as general infantry vehicle.
