These EVs will take NASA astronauts to the launch pad on the upcoming Artemis lunar missions.
The upcoming drive from the Kennedy Space Center's Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building is perhaps longer that you'd think—it's a distance of nine miles—and in the coming months astronauts and technicians will practice the steps of the suit-up procedure and the drive to the launch pad.
The CTVs themselves will carry not only the suited astronauts, but also various monitoring equipment and the flight support crew, so the interiors themselves will be customized for the task.

The first crewed Artemis mission will blast off in November 2024, taking four astronauts to Earth orbit and the Orion spacecraft around the Moon and back to Earth. It will be a mission to test the functions of the spacecraft before a first lunar landing mission scheduled for December 2025.
