Light Utility Vehicles (abbreviated to LUV) are small cars used for scouting and transport. It has a radio on-board, which automatically gathers map intelligence within a 60m radius and transmits it 
.
Description[ | ]
The Light Utility Vehicle is a highly maneuverable agile vehicle commonly used to transport small amounts of equipment and personel. Its off-road speed is the best of all vehicles.
Although it is not armored, LUVs have a low disabling point that allows them to take a decent amount of small arms fire but is vulnerable to heavy machine guns and explosives. Repairing them with a hammer costs more Basic Materials than for trucks or Armored Cars, incentivizing not to use them for prolonged combat engagements.
A feature of all LUVs, with the exception of the Drummond Loscann 55c, is that they will automatically gather Map Intelligence within its radius and transmit it , similar to a Radio Backpack. This makes it a useful reconnaissance vehicle. It has a Reconnaissance range of 60m, which allows it to be outside of AI defences range.
The LUV can be packaged, forming a small Shippable that can be transported by Crane, Flatbed Truck, Freighter, or Barge. However due to its speed there's little reason to transport it that way.
It doesn't trigger anti-tank mines and can safely cross Field Bridges without damaging them too much. It is too small to cross Trenches. It can run over Sandbags and tier 1 walls but can't run over Barbed Wire Fences. It is small enough to cross the narrow wooden Bridges.
It has a horn that can be activated by pressing LMB.
Like with Trucks, it is slowed the more encumbered its inventory is.
Use[ | ]
Its speed and transport abilities makes the LUV excellent for quickly relocating important ordnance, weaponry, and personnel. It is commonly used as a raiding vehicle enabling attacks on enemy defenses and supply routes in back-line regions. Additionally, it is often used to quickly respond to enemy incursions. It's also useful for scouting.
