Hmm..good point.But still,there are plenty of unused spaces on-board each and every new IN ships,wonder why.
How do you know this. Have you been onboard? Or is it simply that it looks unused from the outside....?

Unrefuelled range, probably on road/paved surface.

Range info on M109A5 is pretty consistent. I am finding variation for K9.

K9 engine
The K9 Thunder is powered by an MTU MT 881 Ka-500 8-cylinder water cooled diesel engine coupled to the Allison ATDX1100-5A3 transmission. The engine develops a power output of 1,000hp with a power-to-weight ratio of 21.6hp/t. The propulsion system provides a top speed of over 67km/h and a cruising range of 360km.
