The Agoria Solar Team unveiled its entry for the 2019 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge at an event Belgium. The car, named BluePoint, was designed and manufactured by students from the University of Leuven and will take part in the gruelling challenge in Australia from the 13 to 20 October 2019.

The car was painted at the Cromax Training Centre (CTC) in Mechelen, Belgium and has a fresh new livery of solid white with two shades of blue that were specially developed by Cromax to match the corporate colours of the main sponsor, Agoria.

The 2019 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge will mark the eighth consecutive year the University of Leuven has had a team take part in the event, and Cromax, its Silver Partner since 2017, has worked with the students since 2015. This year the Cromax Ultra Performance Energy System, which makes use of maximum energy and material saving products has been utilised to provide an outstanding lightweight finish.   

Cédric Robert, Business Relations for the Agoria Solar Team, says, “We are very happy with the final result of the car. The Cromax team in Mechelen has worked incredibly hard to make sure BluePoint looks amazing and has the durable finish to deal with the extreme conditions we will face in Australia.”
