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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-vision-v). However, the coolest feature of the all-electric Superbus is that it closely resembles the [Batmobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batmobile-crocs) that lost a wheel. Who would like the ride the bus now? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **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. - **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. - **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. ### Where This Applies - **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. - **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. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflated Vibrant Futuristic Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutated-school-bus.md) - [Superhero-Themed Hypercar Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina.md) - [Sleek Superhero Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-b95-gotham.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Bat-Inspired Luxury Hypercar Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-hypercar.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Water Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maverick-gt-stormy-knight.md) - [Fully Electric Retro Busses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volskwagen-id-buzz.md) - [Electric Superhero Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p64-lancehead.md) - [Autonomous Interactive Shuttle Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-atoz-shuttle-bus.md)
