Close partnership between polymer materials company Covestro and textiles technology group Huafeng has been going on for two years now. Their work together recently delivered high-performance, more sustainable footwear for Team Sonnenwagen Aachen to wear during the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia. This event is a race for solar-powered cars, designed and driven by university teams from different parts of the world. This year, cars left Darwin on August 24 to drive more than 3,000 kilometres to Adelaide. The team from Aachen finished fourth overall with a time of just over 36.5 hours.
