What is one of the benefits of the JLTV's lighter weight?

One of the primary benefits of the JLTV's lighter weight is increased fuel efficiency. A lighter vehicle requires less energy to move, which translates into better fuel consumption rates. This is particularly advantageous for military operations where logistical support and refueling options may be limited. Reduced weight can enhance overall operational range and mission effectiveness, as the vehicle can travel longer distances without the need for frequent refueling, allowing for more sustained operations in the field. Additionally, improved fuel efficiency contributes to reducing the vehicle's logistical footprint, thus streamlining supply chains and enhancing the overall mobility of units.
