There’s no doubt electric vehicles are the way of the future, but how can we keep driving the classic cars we love in regional Australia?

Southern Cross University has unveiled one of Australia’s most ambitious electric vehicle prototypes – a long-range converted vintage Volkswagen Kombi, designed to drive between our east coast locations.

The conversion of the University’s iconic promotional vehicle was completed at our Northern Rivers campus in Lismore. It was a collaborative effort between the University, the NSW State Government, our students, Energy Lab, and lead contractor EV Machina.
