What Is A Splitter Van

What A Splitter Van Actually Is

A splitter van is a modified van combining crew seating at the front with an integrated equipment storage area at the back - built for departments that need to move people and kit together.

It's a production staple because it's more practical than running a separate people carrier and equipment van - one vehicle, one driver, one parking space at a crowded unit base.

Camera, sound, grip and electric departments rely on splitter vans daily, since their kit needs to travel with the crew who operate it.
