X11 Commonwealth Games, Brisbane , 1982

QEM has the two electric vehicles that were used in the Commonwealth Games when the event was held in Brisbane in 1982!

The South East Queensland Electricity Board's electric Daihatsu Charade led the field at the start of the 30 k road walk on 7 October 1982. The Lucas 1-Tonne Bedford Electric Van was used as a service vehicle for the marathon.

Electric Daihatsu Charade

In June 2006, we will launch a ‘virtual exhibition' on this website related to our electric vehicles. The exhibition will be called Wheels of Power so watch out for it.
