2. The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) is a series of 10-ton, 8-wheel drive trucks designed for cross-country military missions to deliver all classes of supplies to combat and combat support units. The seven variants include: M977 Light Cargo, M985 Heavy Cargo, M978 Tanker, M983 Tractor, M983 Light Equipment Transporter (LET), M983 Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), M984 Wrecker, and M1120 Load Handling System (LHS).

2. The Palletized Load System (PLS) is a 16.5 ton, 10-wheel-drive truck designed for cross-country movement of combat-configured loads of ammunition and other classes of supply. The PLS includes the M1074 Truck and M1075A1 Truck and its supporting equipment. The M1075A2 variant includes the By-Wire Active Safety (BWAS) capability, which provides the foundation for future automated features to support autonomous convoy operations. It integrates active safety sensors to upgrade the M1075A1 to the A2 configuration for driver assist safety features and enables vehicle 360-degree situational awareness to enhance readiness by mitigating accidents.

2. The Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) M1070A1 Tractor is an 8X8 prime mover with 4 axles that is used to transport, recover, and evacuate a 70-ton combat loaded M1 series main battle tank when used with its companion trailer. The tank can be transported on road up to 45 mph and cross-country up to 15mph. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is 94,106 lbs.

2. The M1300 Tractor is a weight reduction and redistribution upgrade to the currently fielded M1070A1 Tractor to meet European Union (EU) highway transportation requirements. The EU’s axle load limit is 10,000 kg (22,046 lbs.) per tractor axle. The modifications reduce the GVW of the M1300 Tractor to 78,120 lbs which meets the EU axle load limit.

2. The M1302 Trailer is an 8-axle semitrailer rated to transport a maximum 85-short-ton payload. It is used exclusively with the M1300 tractor and allows for the transportation of the heaviest Army-tracked vehicle loads. The M1302 provides the capability, when used with the M1300 tractor, to load, secure, and transport operational and disabled tracked vehicles at a maximum weight of 78.5 short tons, and will meet European Union highway transportation requirements with a payload of 75 short tons.
