We are proud to announce our sponsorship agreement with the Delft Solar Team, a partnership that brings together two organizations driven by innovation, technology, and a shared ambition to push boundaries.
At first glance, cold chain logistics and solar powered racing may seem like very different worlds. But the connection is clear. Both NewCold and the Delft Solar Team are young at heart, different by design, and committed to doing things smarter. We focus on technical excellence, challenge traditional thinking, and stay committed to sustainable solutions.
This makes the collaboration a natural fit, a true meeting of minds.
In 2026, the Delft Solar Team will take on the Electrek American Solar Challenge: an eight day, 1,500 mile open road race from Minneapolis to Amarillo, following well known routes such as the Great River Road and Historic Route 66. It is a race that pushes the limits of energy efficient electric vehicle engineering and calls for precision, innovation, and resilience. These are qualities we recognize and value at NewCold.
Like the team, we work at the intersection of smart technology and sustainability, always improving performance while reducing energy use. Supporting the Delft Solar Team means supporting the next generation of engineers who are redefining what is possible.
Together, we stand for being:
Smarter. Sustainable. Driven to Win.
We look forward to supporting the team on their journey to the American Solar Challenge. Follow us for more updates.
