Did you know that the Aldenhoven Testing Center is not only a modern, interdisciplinary test center for mobility, but also a joint venture of the Düren district and RWTH Aachen University? And it is equally open to all interested companies, especially SMEs and start-ups.
On August 18 and 19, 2023, the district Düren hosted the hydrogen fair in Jülich in the Brückenkopf Park. Our management was also on site at its own booth.
We would also like to offer you a modern test environment in the future. That is why we are starting construction work this month.
On July 1 and 2, 2023, nine riders were on hand at our Aldenhoven Testing Center – with an exciting reason: record attempts on the recumbent bike took place on our test track. The HPV Deutschland e.V. (Human Power Vehicles Germany) and DropLimits organized the record weekend. Our track has been used several times for HPV events, but the dimension was still new this time.
After two years of development and production, Team Sonnenwagen unveiled the fourth generation of their solar-power racing vehicle, Covestro Adelie, at the Eurogress Aachen on June 5, 2023. The goal was to develop the most efficient design the team has ever produced. One of the innovations is the exterior, optimized for aerodynamic efficiency and inspired by the eponymous Adelie penguin. The new vehicle will be able to prove itself at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia. In seven days 3,022 km through the outback: from Darwin to Adelaide. In their luggage: a banner, signed by the management and with the best wishes of the Aldenhoven Testing Center.
