Bekaert is proud to announce that Ampact™, its innovative solution designed to enhance the driving range and reduce the charging time of electrical vehicles, has been awarded the prestigious Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label. This recognition marks the third time a Bekaert innovation has received this label, following Dramix® and Currento®, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable and high-performance solutions.
What is the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label?
Founded by Bertrand Piccard, the Solar Impulse Foundation identifies and promotes clean, efficient, and profitable solutions that contribute to a sustainable economy. The Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label is granted to innovations that meet strict environmental and economic criteria, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. The label is awarded following a rigorous assessment by independent experts and is audited by Ernst & Young, ensuring that each recognized solution delivers tangible value in feasibility, environmental impact, and customer benefits.
Dramix® steel fiber for low-carbon concrete reinforcement was the first Bekaert solution to receive the Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution Label in March 2023. This was followed by the Currento® porous transport layer technology, which received the label in 2024 for its role in green energy production.
