Deep underground, the environment changes everything. Dark, confined spaces. Extreme heat. Dust and vibration. For the crews who work there, every shift begins and ends with a ride in a personnel carrier.
That ride isn’t just transport — it’s a matter of safety, trust, and efficiency.
At FD Special Vehicles, we take the legendary durability of the Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series and transform it into a wide range of purpose-built underground personnel carriers — designed for the people who work in some of the harshest conditions on earth.
For over three decades, we’ve seen firsthand what miners need from their vehicles:
Safety – reinforced structures, emergency-ready layouts, and the confidence that crews will make it back to the surface.
Comfort – thoughtful interior designs that reduce fatigue during long, demanding shifts underground.
Reliability – engineering that keeps operations moving when downtime simply isn’t an option.
And as mining evolves, so must the tools miners rely on. That’s why we’ve developed the Electric Landcruiser 79 carriers, creating cleaner, smooth & quieter rides underground — improving air quality and helping operations build a safer, more sustainable future for the next generation of miners whilst delivering the same rugged performance miners have always counted on.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about building vehicles. It’s about supporting the people who rely on them — every trip, every shift, every day.
At FD Special Vehicles, we’re proud to stand behind the miners who go deeper, push harder, and keep the world moving.
