Innovation moves fast. The best kind moves with purpose.
As Formula E season 12 comes to a close, we’re looking back at a partnership built around more than speed: a shared belief that thoughtful design, innovation, and sustainability can move us forward.
This season, Solgaard was proud to be named the Official Luggage Supplier to Lola Cars and the Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team, bringing together two brands committed to designing for what’s next, promoting cutting-edge sustainability.
Where Travel Design Meets Motorsport Innovation
A Formula E season is life in motion. Teams travel around the world, moving from one race weekend to the next with everything they need to perform.
As an all-electric motorsport series, Formula E puts innovation, efficiency, and the future of mobility on a global stage, making it a natural environment for forward-thinking design and sustainability.
Throughout the partnership, Solgaard luggage and backpacks have helped equip Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team personnel for that journey. On the track, the Solgaard logo has traveled with them, featured on the front wing endplate of the Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E car.
At the heart of the partnership is a shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, and a belief that performance and more responsible design can move forward together.
United by Innovation and Sustainability
Lola operates at the intersection of motorsport, engineering, technology, and sustainable innovation. At Solgaard, we bring a similar mindset to travel:
How can we design better travel experiences while considering the impact we leave behind?
That thinking has shaped our materials, including Shore-Tex®, made from 100% recycled material and used across Solgaard bags and suitcases, and Shore-Plast™, a durable material featuring ocean-bound plastic. As a Certified B Corporation, we’re committed to considering the impact of our business beyond the products we create.
In cooperation with the Solgaard-Nyx Foundation and its global network of impact partners, we clear six pounds of ocean-bound plastic with every Solgaard product purchased. Together, these efforts have helped prevent more than three million pounds (1,350,000 kg) of plastic from entering the ocean.
For us, sustainability isn’t separate from good design. It’s part of designing better.
Built for Life in Motion
From airports to race weekends and the everyday journeys in between, movement demands thoughtful design.
That shared pursuit of better solutions is what made the partnership with Lola Cars and the Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team such a natural fit, bringing together two brands from different industries through a shared focus on innovation, performance, and sustainability.
The team closed out Season 12 at the London E-Prix, capping a season that included a milestone first Formula E victory for Lola Yamaha ABT in Shanghai and 35 championship points. The London finale also marked the final professional race weekend for Formula E veteran Lucas di Grassi, bringing an extraordinary chapter in motorsport to a close.
As the season ends, we’re proud of the journey we’ve shared with Lola Cars and the Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team, and excited to see where it takes us next.
Engineered for life in motion. Built for what’s next.
