Every summer, the Tour de France transforms France into the world’s largest moving sporting event. Over the course of 21 stages and more than 3,000 kilometers, television crews, radio broadcasters, technical teams, and production staff relocate every single day while delivering live broadcasts to millions of viewers around the world.
Behind every live broadcast is an operation that depends on far more than cameras and commentators. It requires reliable mobile broadcast units, experienced operational teams, and broadcast logistics that perform flawlessly under constant pressure.
For more than a decade, EventRent has been one of Europe’s leading suppliers of mobile broadcast vehicles, production offices, and broadcast logistics for the Tour de France. Since 2014, our custom-built broadcast vehicles have travelled alongside the race, supporting international broadcasters with fully equipped workspaces and operational support at every finish location.
Mobile Broadcast Vehicles for International Broadcasters at the Tour de France
During the 2026 Tour de France, EventRent once again provided mobile broadcast units, production offices, crew vehicles, and operational support for leading international broadcasters, including NBC, Radio France, and RMC. Every broadcaster works differently. That’s why every broadcast vehicle is tailored to the specific operational requirements of the production team.
Our fleet included:
- Fully equipped mobile broadcast offices
- Technical support vehicles
- Crew transport vehicles
- A brand-new custom-built crew camper developed specifically for NBC
Each mobile broadcast unit provided comfortable workspaces, reliable power supplies, climate control, connectivity, storage, and everything required to operate efficiently while relocating to a new location every day. Whether the broadcast compound was located in a city centre, a rural finish village, or on a mountain summit, every vehicle was ready to perform without compromise.
More Than a Broadcast Vehicle: Complete Broadcast Logistics
Providing a broadcast vehicle is only part of the job. A successful Tour de France operation depends on meticulous broadcast logistics and experienced operational support. Our dedicated Tour Managers travel with the convoy throughout the entire race, managing the daily relocation of every mobile broadcast unit. Each day they:
- Drive the vehicles to the next finish location
- Position every broadcast vehicle inside the TV compound
- Connect power and utilities
- Prepare production offices before broadcasters arrive
- Ensure every workspace is fully operational before the first live transmission
By the time television crews and radio teams reach the finish line, their workplace is already waiting for them. This seamless operational support allows broadcasters to focus entirely on producing world-class live television and radio coverage while EventRent manages the logistics behind the scenes.
What Is a Mobile Broadcast Unit?
A mobile broadcast unit is a fully equipped workspace that enables television and radio broadcasters to produce live coverage directly from an event location. Unlike a traditional office or rental vehicle, a professional broadcast vehicle combines mobility, technical infrastructure, climate control, reliable power, connectivity, and comfortable workspaces into one solution. These vehicles are essential for sporting events where production teams relocate frequently, making them the preferred solution for cycling races, motorsport events, international sports tournaments, television productions, and live media events.
Built for Multi-Week Sporting Events
Supporting a production like the Tour de France is very different from traditional vehicle rental. For three consecutive weeks, mobile broadcast vehicles travel thousands of kilometers, relocate almost every day, operate in extreme weather conditions, and remain in continuous use throughout the event. That’s why EventRent designs its broadcast vehicles specifically for demanding long-duration productions.
Our fleet includes:
- Mobile broadcast units
- Broadcast vehicles
- Production offices
- Crew vehicles
- Hospitality units
- Custom-built broadcast solutions
Every vehicle is engineered for reliability, flexibility, and maximum operational uptime. The Tour de France is just one example of where our mobile broadcast units have proven themselves. EventRent also supports major sporting events, international television productions, roadshows, and live media events throughout Europe.
More Than Ten Years Supporting the Tour de France
Since 2014, EventRent has continuously supported international broadcasters during the Tour de France.
Over more than ten editions, our mobile broadcast vehicles have travelled alongside one of the world’s most demanding sporting events, supporting television crews through daily relocations, changing weather conditions, and complex broadcast operations. This experience has made EventRent one of Europe’s most experienced providers of broadcast vehicles and broadcast logistics for multi-stage sporting events.
When the men’s Tour de France reached Paris, our work didn’t stop.
For Radio France, the journey continued immediately with the Tour de France Femmes, where our mobile broadcast units, broadcast vehicles, and Tour Managers once again supported daily broadcast operations throughout the race. Because for EventRent, success isn’t measured by crossing a finish line. It’s measured by delivering reliable broadcast support, every single day, wherever the next stage begins.
