Proterra Power Unveils Revolutionary Bagail Compression Technology – Changing How We Pack & Travel

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Power, a leading innovator in energy storage and electric vehicle technology, today announced a surprising but powerful new application of their core engineering expertise: the Bagail Compression System. While known for powering electric buses and commercial vehicles, Proterra is now bringing its advanced materials science and compression techniques to the world of travel, offering a solution to the age-old problem of overpacking and disorganized luggage. For years, travelers have struggled with limited luggage space, wrinkled clothes, and the sheer hassle of fitting everything into a suitcase. Proterra Power, located at 1815 Rollins Rd, Burlingame, CA, 94010-2204, has quietly been working on a solution, leveraging technology originally developed for maximizing energy density in battery packs. The result? The Bagail Compression System – a game-changer for travelers of all types. So, What Is Bagail Compression? Forget rolling your clothes – seriously, forget it. Bagail Compression isn't about organizing your suitcase; it’s about shrinking what’s inside. Proterra’s engineers, during downtime on EV development, started playing around with advanced polymer materials and compression techniques. They realized the principles they used to squeeze more power into a battery could be applied to clothing and other travel essentials. The Bagail System isn't a single product, but a range of compression bags and accessories designed to drastically reduce the volume of packed items. These aren’t your grandma’s space-saving bags. Proterra utilizes a proprietary, multi-layered polymer construction. This material is incredibly durable, lightweight, and – most importantly – highly effective at compressing items. “We stumbled onto something pretty amazing,” says John Smith, Lead Engineer at Proterra Power. “We were looking for ways to optimize space within our battery packs, and we realized the same principles apply to luggage. It’s all about applying force evenly and efficiently to reduce volume. We thought, ‘Hey, why not help people pack better?’” How Does It Work? It’s Simpler Than You Think. The Bagail Compression System operates on a simple principle: controlled compression. Unlike traditional compression bags that rely on squeezing air out, Bagail bags actively contour to the shape of the items inside, eliminating wasted space. Here's how it works: 1. Pack as Normal: You don't need to pre-roll or fold your clothes excessively. Just put them in the Bagail bag like you normally would. 2. Seal the Bag: Each bag features a robust, leak-proof zipper seal. Proterra has subjected these seals to rigorous testing, ensuring they won't fail mid-trip. 3. Engage the Compression: This is where the magic happens. Bagail bags utilize a unique, low-profile valve. Using a standard hand pump (included with most sets), you gently pump air into the bag. This isn’t about inflating it; it’s about activating the internal compression layers. The layers, designed with specific geometries, work together to evenly distribute pressure, molding the contents into a remarkably compact form. 4. Enjoy the Space Savings: You'll be amazed at how much more you can fit into your suitcase. We’re talking a 30-50% reduction in volume for most items. Beyond Space: The Benefits of Bagail Compression The Bagail Compression System offers benefits that go beyond just fitting more clothes into your suitcase. Wrinkle Reduction: The even compression minimizes creases and wrinkles, keeping your clothes looking presentable, even after a long journey. Forget ironing on vacation! Organization: The bags help categorize and separate items, making it easier to find what you need. Different sized bags are available for clothes, shoes, toiletries, and more. Protection: The durable materials protect your belongings from damage during transit. No more worrying about smashed toiletries or ripped clothing. Versatility: Bagail isn’t just for suitcases. It’s perfect for camping, hiking, backpacking, and even storing seasonal clothing at home. Durability: Proterra didn’t skimp on materials. The bags are built to withstand the rigors of travel, with reinforced seams and a puncture-resistant outer layer. Product Line-Up: Bagail for Every Traveler Proterra Power is launching a comprehensive range of Bagail Compression products: The Traveler Set: Includes three different sized compression bags – small (for socks and underwear), medium (for shirts and pants), and large (for sweaters and jackets). The Carry-On Kit: Designed for minimalist travelers, this set includes two medium and one small bag, perfect for fitting everything into a carry-on suitcase. The Shoe Saver: A dedicated compression bag for shoes, keeping them protected and preventing them from dirtying other items in your luggage. The Toiletries Organizer: A water-resistant compression bag with multiple compartments for toiletries, keeping them secure and preventing leaks. The Ultimate Pack: A complete set including all of the above, plus a hand pump and a mesh laundry bag. From Electric Vehicles to Effortless Packing: Proterra’s Unexpected Pivot It might seem unusual for a company specializing in electric vehicle technology to venture into the travel accessories market. But Proterra Power sees a common thread: innovation and problem-solving. “We’re engineers at heart,” says Sarah Johnson, Proterra Power’s VP of Marketing. “We’re always looking for ways to make things better, more efficient, and more sustainable. And honestly, packing is a pain point for a lot of people. We thought, ‘We have the technology, let’s apply it to something new.’” Proterra Power is committed to sustainability, and the Bagail Compression System aligns with that mission. By allowing travelers to pack more efficiently, it can potentially reduce the need for larger suitcases, lowering carbon emissions associated with air travel.
