Some units won't fit in platoon transports.
As an example, the Swiss OOB features the 'Mech Gren Pl' which has the big 11 man panzergrenadier sections and the 9 man tow grenadier, however it also includes a choice of two vehicles, an 8 or 9 capacity piranha. You can fit the Tow Grenadiers in the 9 man piranha, but you can't fit the normal panzergrenadiers in either vehicle, nor does the 8 man piranha have the capacity for either squad.
Also the Israeli AT-ATV Grp has two spike teams of 3 men, and two ATVs with 101 capacity.
Is it intended to be this way, like were the vehicles just to support the panzergrenadiers and not provide transport, or was it only intended for the Tow Grenadiers and the generic panzergrenadiers had to be included due to engine limitations? I can see the Israeli ATVs being just for scouting ahead of the ATGM's, but it doesn't seem practical to buy expensive piranhas for a bunch of infantry that will refuse to stuff themselves into it clown-car style.
