Batmobile Buses

This All-Electric Superbus is Dark Knight-Approved

— March 20, 2010 — Autos
The all-electric Superbus is the attempt of students at UT Delft of the Netherlands, to make bus riding uber-cool once again (if riding the bus was ever cool, I didn't hear about it). To make this vehicle attractive to potential riders, the students decked out the bus with a carbon-fiber shell, a low chasis, and 16 gull-wing doors.

However, the coolest feature of the all-electric Superbus is that it closely resembles the Batmobile that lost a wheel. Who would like the ride the bus now?
Trend Themes
1. Superbus Trend - As electric vehicles gain popularity, there could be a trend towards designing and promoting futuristic, superhero-inspired buses like the Superbus, to make public transportation more appealing and exciting.
2. Personalized Public Transportation Trend - As the world moves towards a more personalized experience across all industries, there could be a trend towards developing public transportation that can be customized based on individual preferences and needs.
3. Carbon-fiber Materials Trend - As companies and individuals become more environmentally conscious, there could be a trend towards incorporating sustainable materials like carbon-fiber in the design and manufacturing of vehicles and other consumer goods.
Industry Implications
1. Public Transportation Industry - The Superbus and its superhero-inspired design could disrupt the traditional public transportation industry by making bus riding more appealing to younger generations and changing customer preferences.
2. Electric Vehicle Industry - The Superbus and its unique design could disrupt the electric vehicle industry by inspiring companies to create similar futuristic and superhero-inspired designs for electric cars and other vehicles.
3. Automotive Materials Industry - The use of carbon-fiber in the design of the Superbus could disrupt the automotive materials industry by influencing other vehicle manufacturers to incorporate more sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials in their designs.
