Engineering units frequently make use of engineering vehicles to make the jobs they're called on easier to perform. Most engineering vehicles consist of an oversized engine that enables the equipment to perform at higher capacities. A common addition is a special overdrive system that prevents the motor from burning out.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 40-41, "Engineering Vehicle"</ref> One of the most popular vehicles is a dual shovel which allows the controller to operate each shovel independently while seated in a small rotating turret. The vehicle can remain in a single location longer with each shovel operating on a different section.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026/> Other popular vehicles include bulldozers, trenchers, and cutters. Cutters in particular are useful not just for removing trees but other vertical obstacles that may prevent the unit's vehicles from moving forward.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026/> One of the notable uses of engineering vehicles in combat occurred in [[2978]] in a battle on [[Loric]]. The [[12th Star Guards]] was attempting to relieve some elements of the [[Eridani Light Horse]] and had broken through [[Marik]] lines, but soon found additional forces guarding a river. The Guards engineering unit quickly began constructing a pontoon bridge to allow crossing. Marik [[aerospace fighter|aerospace fighters]] and Long Tom artillery harassed the engineers, destroying three pontoon bridges before they could be completed. Despite having lost almost every engineer to hostile fire, the engineering unit managed to complete the bridge just before their last engineering vehicle was destroyed - allowing the Guards units to relieve the Eridani Light Horse forces.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026/> ==Equipment & Capacities== Engineering vehicles do not normally carry armament. By default, they only carry the equipment necessary to perform the task required of them, but crews may modify the vehicles with small arms or even heavy weapons.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026/> The Engineering Vehicle is equipped with a [[Backhoe]] in the turret, with a [[Lift Hoist]] is mounted in its rear. The vehicle's chassis is protected by 2.5 tons of standard military grade armor. Powering vehicle is a 240 Rated ICE engine, allowing it be propelled upwards of 90 km/h.<ref name=TRO:3039/> ==Variants== Each of the different types of engineering vehicles - Power Digger, Dual Shovel, Trenchcutter, and Digger - differ wildly in the types of operations they best support. There are additional modifications made to almost every base type of vehicle to support a unit's specific needs.<ref name=TRO:3039/><ref name=TRO:3026R/><ref name=TRO:3026/> ====Common Variants==== *;Engineering Vehicle (Autocannon) : Introduced in [[2500]], this model has all of its standard equipment removed in favor of a [[AC/20|Class 20 Autocannon]] with 1 ton of ammunition.
