INTRODUCING AWOL

A new way to move, live, and explore

New Zealand’s first Adventure Utility Vehicle.
For those ready to take the road less followed.

Not a SUV — Not a Ute — Not an RV

A new category of vehicle.

The vehicles we have weren’t built for the lives we want.

Multi-column

SUVs were made for cities — moving people, parking lots, school runs.

Utes were made for farms and job sites — good for gear, but not for living.

RVs were made for tourists and retirees — built for comfort, rest, and routine.

And for a long time, we made them work. We bolted on what we could. We adapted and compromised. But none of them were made for living lives full of adventure — for moving between work, wild places, and the unknown with ease.

We needed something better.

That’s why we built the Adventure Utility Vehicle / AUV.

Purpose-built from the ground up, an AUV adapts as your needs, your environment, and your aspirations evolve — without compromise, without limits.

One platform.
For the life you choose.

AWOL — A Way of Life

MORE THAN JUST A VEHICLE

A way of life.

Maybe it’s the need to move. Or the draw of something different — wilder, less expected.

Whatever it is, AWOL was built for people who choose experience over routine. Who want something that works hard, goes far, and makes space for what matters most.

It’s not just a way to get there. It’s a way to live. More coming soon...

designed for how you actually live

Modular by nature. Ready for anything.

AWOL is designed to move with you — from weekday runs to weekend missions. Built for rough tracks, hard work, or whatever lies ahead.

STRENGTH STARTS BENEATH THE SURFACE

Built from the ground up.

At the heart of every AWOL is a reconfigurable structural platform — engineered for strength, longevity, and real-world use.
It’s not just what you see. It’s how it’s built.

PROUDLY BACKED BY THE BEST

PURPOSE BEYOND THE PRODUCT

A vehicle on a mission.

AWOL isn’t just transport. It’s a tool to live better, go further, and protect what matters most.
Our mission is to empower everyday adventure while fostering a stronger connection to nature, community, and self.
