Sadly, many of the designs on the internet will never be realized mainly due to a lack of funding. However, if even a small fraction of them ever get made, that’s a huge step in the right direction. The Aeon Renault EV Concept is one of those models that would greatly benefit the earth. Fueled by nano photovoltaic cells, this vehicle would create [zero emissions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt). Besides that fact however, the Aeon Renault EV Concept looks like it could easily tackle [off-raod terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-velocity) making it useful for more industrious applications. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Zero-emission Vehicles:** The trend towards zero-emission vehicles will continue to grow and create opportunities for electric car manufacturers. - **Off-road Electric Cars:** The trend towards off-road capable electric cars will create opportunities for electric car manufacturers targeting industries such as agriculture and mining. - **Nano Photovoltaic Cells:** The trend towards using nano photovoltaic cells to power electric cars will create opportunities for innovation in solar technology and more efficient energy storage solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has the opportunity to produce more electric cars that are zero-emissions, off-road capable and empowering the use of advance solar technologies. - **Agriculture:** Electric car manufacturers have the opportunity to target the agriculture industry with off-road capable vehicles that are zero-emissions and empowering the use of efficient energy storage solutions. - **Mining:** Electric car manufacturers have the opportunity to target the mining industry with off-road capable vehicles that are zero-emissions and using more efficient energy storage solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventurous Pint-Sized EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opel-rocks-electric-extreme-concept.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-vehicle-concept.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Efficient Micro Mobility EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-etech-electric-prototype.md) - [Electric Five-Door Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fivedoor-cars.md) - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md) - [Sleek Sustainable EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opel-experimental.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Track-Ready Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-rn22e.md)
