SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION VEHICLES
Production Vehicles
Complete vehicle fleet for your Australian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Production cars have the trucks, vans, trailers, and support cars that keep a film crew operational on location. Gear trucks, wardrobe trailers, cast motorhomes, and catering cars form the mobile infrastructure that supports each department across a shooting schedule.
Here is the short of it. We source and set up production car packages from local fleet providers, matching car types and quantities to your production's scale. Our team handles permits, parking arrangements, and scheduling logistics so your car fleet supports smooth daily operations at each location.

On Location
Production Vehicle Fleets Across Australia
Here is how this works in practice. Production cars for Australian shoots draw from a tight standard fleet. The Toyota Hilux stays the best-selling car in Australia and the outback location-scout standard, alongside the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series, Land Cruiser 200/300 wagons, and the Land Rover Defender 110 for top off-road builds.
Here is the short of it. Crew utes pull from Ford Ranger Raptor, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi Triton, and Nissan Navara stocks. Holden closed Australian manufacturing in 2017 and ended local sales in 2021, so any left HSV variants now sit in heritage rental fleets only.
Here is the breakdown. Production van standards run Mercedes Sprinter (long-wheelbase passenger and panel), Ford Transit Custom, and VW Crafter, with electric-conversion options through Volvo Australia and Mercedes-Benz Vans Sydney for sustainability-flagged commercials. Star trailers, makeup trailers, and honey wagons come through Mitchell Transport, Mojo Crew, and TLC Trailers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Gold Coast bases.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Cross-border car work runs two principal corridors. Russian Arm Filmworks LA and Cinemoves ship camera cars in 14-hour direct Qantas LA-Sydney freight under Australian Border Force ATA carnet through DFAT — same logistics chain that delivered the Mad Max: Fury Road tracking cars to Village Roadshow Gold Coast finishing. Shotover Camera kits Queenstown NZ gives gyro-stabilised car and aerial mounts in three Qantas hours from Auckland.
Here is how the picture comes together. Heritage shoots running large car fleets in Australia have Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller 2015. Namibia primary plus Village Roadshow finishing), Furiosa (Miller 2024), Elvis (Luhrmann 2022, Gold Coast), Aquaman + Lost Kingdom (Wan 2018 and 2023), Matrix trilogy (Wachowskis 1999-2003 at Fox Sydney), and Star Wars Episode II and III (2002 and 2005). Outback fleet running accounts for 45°C+ summer heat, dust ingress, and 1,000km+ road-train fuel runs through the Pilbara, Flinders Ranges, and Red Centre.
