A New Fleet of Splitter Vans for Far Beyond Driven

At Stanford Coachworks we design a wide variety of vehicles and something that we have established a quality reputation for is our production, television and music industry conversions. Upon searching for some new bespoke vehicles, our latest clients - Far Beyond Driven, contacted us for some help.

Far Beyond Driven are a unique professional hire company who specialise in transport solutions for people and equipment within the production industry. They have been supplying the industry with tour management and logistical support since 2005, but then began venturing into the vehicle rental side of things in 2010. Originally based in Leeds, Far Beyond Driven’s success has led to them recently opening a second site in Manchester. They now also have a fleet of crew vans, available to self-drive hire, which have just been joined by four brand-new luxury Stanfords splitter vans plus more on the way!

Far Beyond Driven want to offer their clients the perfect solution in which both passengers and equipment can be transported in one vehicle so, all four of their new L2H2 Mercedes Sprinters, supplied by Mercedes Benz - Northside Truck and Van, include a 950kg payload and feature a comfortable passenger cabin in the front, and a large equipment storage area in the rear. For variety, the splitter vans feature different passenger cabin layouts, three of which with two rows of forward-facing seating and one with conference style seating centred around a table. All of the splitters have been converted to a high-specification and include premium reclining seating upholstered in executive black leather with silver piping, grey suede roof lining and wood-effect lino flooring.

During the journey, passengers have use of the Bluetooth soundbar and can enjoy watching movies, shows and even live television through the Apple TV. Each vehicle includes a number of useful extras such as 240-volt power sockets, USB charging points, LED interior lighting and an overhead luggage storage area.

For equipment storage, we have included an area in the rear of the vehicles separated by a bulkhead. This area can only be accessed via the rear doors; therefore, all equipment is completely isolated away from any passengers. No corners are cut when it comes to quality, as we have finished the rear of each vehicle in the exact same materials as the front passenger cabin. LED lighting and a high-intensity loading light has also been installed, enabling those hiring the vehicles to load / unload during any time of the day.
