Adhesive bonds will be tested at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2019.
A team of students from RWTH Aachen University and FH Aachen plan to enter their self-constructed, solar-powered electric car in perhaps the world’s toughest solar car race: the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2019, which takes place October 13-20 in Adelaide, Australia. After the successful premiere at the previous year’s race, Team Sonnenwagen will attempt for the second time to be the fastest to complete the 3,000-km route without a single drop of fuel.
Covestro will support the project with different materials and technical service, and as the team’s main sponsor. The partners aim to demonstrate that concepts for the future of mobility are already possible today, considering aspects such as lightweight construction, electromobility and photovoltaics.
