My intepretation of that line suggests that Trucks should only be costing 20 manpower, and APCs/similiar might have the same issue?

This modifier is something else.

There are various pop dividers for Buggies, APC, etc. It seems like it is running into the problem that the population cost is either an integer or can't go below 1.

I wonder if robot soldiers use the same mechanic and if they are working?

In fact i have started work on lowering the Pop cost for Trucks/APC/Buggy but never managed to finish my work, because it was more complicated than expected.

It is still on the to-do list however.
