Later today, troop transport vehicles will be added to the Rising Storm Beta. Once testing is carried out in the beta client, they will eventually make their way to the final release.
Yoshiro from Tripwire notified the Rising Storm Steam community just moments ago.

Later this evening we expect to update the Rising Storm beta application with the Universal Carrier and SDKfz troop transports for the Russian and German factions. Along with their inclusion comes the updated Barashka, Arad 2 and Rakowice which have been configured for their use.
We hope to playtest these updated maps and the gameplay of the troop carriers themselves tomorrow and Friday. We will schedule these test events via the Official Game Group event system here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/RO2/events/ When they go up the event time will be indicated in your local time zone (but usually they are around 3 PM EST, -5 GMT).
We also have updated Maggot Hill with some minor gameplay changes as well as continued tweaks to the Search and Destroy maps.
As a heads up, this version of the SDKfz is still limited to 4 passengers in the back. We are still looking into how much time it would take to switch it to 6 passengers and if we will be making that change for this update.
