Proterra Power Launches Revolutionary Bagail Compression Technology for Enhanced Travel & Organization

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Power, a leading innovator in energy storage and sustainable transportation solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Bagail Compression technology, designed to completely change how people pack and organize their belongings. While known for powering electric buses and industrial vehicles, Proterra is now bringing its engineering expertise to the everyday traveler and home organizer with this game-changing product line. For years, travelers and those seeking better home organization have struggled with limited space and bulky luggage. Proterra Power, drawing on its experience in maximizing energy density and efficient packaging within battery systems, saw a clear parallel and opportunity. “We’re experts at fitting a lot into a small space,” explains CEO John Doe of Proterra Power. “We figured, why not apply that thinking to suitcases and closets? That’s how Bagail Compression was born.” What is Bagail Compression? Bagail Compression isn't just another packing cube. It's a complete system based on a unique, patent-pending compression technology. Think of it as a mini-vacuum for your clothes. The core of the system is a specially designed, durable bag made from a high-performance, rip-stop fabric. What sets it apart is the integrated compression valve and the lightweight, hand-powered pump. Unlike traditional compression bags that require a vacuum cleaner, Bagail Compression allows you to compress clothes, bedding, and other items anywhere – at home, in a hotel room, even while camping. Simply pack the bag, seal it, and use the pump to remove excess air. This dramatically reduces the volume of your belongings, giving you significantly more space in your luggage or storage containers. “We tested tons of materials,” says lead engineer Sarah Chen. “We needed something that was both incredibly strong and lightweight. The fabric we landed on is practically indestructible, and it’s amazingly breathable, which is important for keeping clothes fresh.” How Does it Work? The system is remarkably simple to use: 1. Pack: Place your clothes, toiletries, or other items into the Bagail Compression bag. 2. Seal: Close the bag securely using the airtight zipper. 3. Pump: Insert the included hand pump into the valve and pump several times to remove the air. You'll see the bag compress significantly. 4. Go! Enjoy the extra space in your suitcase, closet, or storage container. The bags come in a variety of sizes and colors, catering to different travel needs and organizational preferences. From small cubes for underwear and socks to large bags for bulky sweaters and jackets, there’s a Bagail Compression solution for everyone. Benefits Beyond Space Saving While increased packing space is the most obvious benefit, Bagail Compression offers several other advantages: Reduced Wrinkling: Compression helps to minimize wrinkles by keeping clothes tightly packed and preventing excessive movement. Organization: The system allows you to neatly organize your belongings by category, making it easy to find what you need. Protection: The durable bags protect your clothes from dirt, dust, and moisture. Versatility: Bagail Compression isn’t just for travel. It's perfect for storing seasonal clothing, bedding, and other items in your home. College students are loving it for dorm room storage. Lightweight & Portable: The hand pump is incredibly compact and lightweight, making it easy to pack in your luggage. Proterra Power’s Unexpected Expansion While it might seem like a departure from Proterra Power’s core business, the company sees a natural synergy between its expertise in compression technology and the needs of travelers and organizers. “We’re a problem-solving company,” explains Doe. “We see opportunities to apply our engineering skills to make people's lives easier. We're already experts at maximizing space and efficiency – this is just applying that to a different market.” Proterra Power is committed to sustainability, and Bagail Compression aligns with that commitment by encouraging people to pack more efficiently, potentially reducing the need for larger luggage and minimizing transportation emissions. The bags themselves are made from durable, reusable materials, further reducing their environmental impact. Availability and Pricing Bagail Compression is available for purchase starting today on the Proterra Power website (www.proterrapower.com) and through select retailers. Pricing varies depending on the size and quantity of bags purchased, but a typical starter set (including 3 bags of varying sizes and the hand pump) is priced at $49.99.
