While some commuters may opt to read or listen to podcasts, Office on Wheels by Flanders Institute for Mobility allows you to get a head start on your work day. The prototype vehicle (which is hopefully inspired by an episode of The Office) turns travel time into a working opportunity with [accessible business perks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bay-work). This means the bus office travels to business areas that are less frequented by usual means of public transportation. Currently being used in a six month test run, the Office on Wheels takes workers between urban centers and business parks. This concept could also serve as inspiration for [driverless shuttles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-ldk-concept). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Productive Commuting:** Harnessing travel time as an opportunity for work and productivity during the daily commute. - **Mobile Workspaces:** Creating innovative office-on-wheels concepts that allow professionals to work while traveling. - **Alternative Transportation Routes:** Developing new and efficient transportation options for commuters to reach business areas that are less accessible by traditional means. ### Where This Applies - **Transportation:** Exploring opportunities to incorporate office-equipped vehicles into existing transportation services or develop specialized services for professionals. - **Technology:** Designing and implementing technology solutions that facilitate work and productivity in mobile workspaces, such as driverless shuttles. - **Business Services:** Providing additional support services to professionals working on the go, such as mobile office equipment, connectivity, and amenities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Office Concept Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitsubishi-fuso-nomadpro.md) - [Remote Office Camping Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-cabin-concept-van.md) - [Off-Grid Workspace Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-roadiaq-concept-car.md) - [Compact Work Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-tiny-homes-1.md) - [WFH-Inspired Office Truck Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomadpro-canter.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Bold Mobile Work Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omniseat-portable-productivity.md) - [Workstation-Equipped Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-bike.md)
