Covestro and Team Sonnenwagen
Innovation is central to Covestro, and the partnership with Team Sonnenwagen is a true source of inspiration. For six years, Covestro has supported the Aachen-based team as the main sponsor, but this collaboration is much more than sponsorship: It is a partnership of equals. The students passionately push the boundaries of e-mobility and further inspire Covestro to develop innovative solutions.
Celebrating Success on and off the Track
With the current solar car Covestro Adelie and its predecessor Covestro Photon, the team secured second and third place at the European Championship on the Formula 1 track in Zolder, Belgium. In 2022, the European Championship was celebrated there – a milestone that also energized Covestro employees. In the fall, the team toured Europe, visiting nine Covestro sites.
Sonnenwagen 5 will feature at least

Covestro Materials
Given the success of this partnership, it is being strengthened further. The upcoming Sonnenwagen 5 will feature at least seven Covestro materials, possibly more – a new record! At the World Solar Challenge 2025, Covestro’s materials and solutions will face the ultimate test in the Australian Outback. As Vice-European Champions, Team Sonnenwagen is not only a favorite but also a strong brand ambassador for Covestro.
