The Company

EarthCruiser is purpose built by EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles Pty. Ltd. a company owned and operated by talented individuals, with over 25 years experience in their respective fields.

Earthcruiser was originally designed to meet our specific needs for an overland expedition vehicle that could go anywhere and was comfortable enough for two people to live for extended periods of time. After extensive research and development EarthCruiser design was born. The initial successful testing of the prototype EarthCruiser included crossing 700kms of sand dunes leading to the remote Dragon Tree Soak in the Great Sandy Desert, in Western Australia and proving the suspension, on board systems ,floor configuration and functionality.

The prototype was then taken overseas for more testing and an arduous yet exciting 27,000km trip across Russia and Mongolia which included two crossings of the notorious 'Road of Bones', a swampy tundra track from Yakutsk to Magadan made famous by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in the 'Long Way Round'.

The EarthCruiser team includes Lance Gillies who has 25 years experience in component manufacturing for the transport industry and specialty body building for a number of applications. He is held in high regard in the industry and is on the Board of Directors of the CVIAQ (Commercial Vehicle Industry Association Queensland).

Lance is also highly 4WD savvy having competed locally in Australia as well as in Malaysia in various 'super-tough' off-road competitions. He is widely traveled in Australia and internationaly. This experience lends itself to designing and building vehicles that can withstand the toughest conditions, while providing reliability and extreme 4x4 capability.

Michelle Boltz has a long history of overland travel through Africa, Asia, Russia and Central Asia. Her extensive experience makes her keenly aware of the challenges faced by overland travelers as they cross borders, cultures and varied terrain. She knows that having a reliable, safe, comfortable vehicle can make or break the travel experience. To her mind EarthCruiser is the best overland vehicle on the market today.

With a growing fleet of vehicles on the road and a full order book for 2010, EarthCruiser is destined to become the vehicle of choice for those that want to see not just Australia but the world in the comfort of their own EarthCruiser.
