# Electric Police Cruisers Mercedes Unveils Energ-G-Force Concept Car at the LA Auto Show By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-12-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-auto-show References: [ocregister](http://www.ocregister.com/articles/auto-379188-high-new.html?pic=2) & [laautoshow](http://www.laautoshow.com/) One of the most interesting concept cars to come out of the LA Auto Show this past weekened is the [Mercedes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-benz-g580) Energ-G-Force. While it may be big enough to prompt comparisons to a [Hummer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hummer-ev-earthcruiser-camper), it is decidedly "anti-Hummer" in its environmentally conscious design and systems. As one of the jewels of the recent LA Auto Show, it garnered a lot of attention for its hydrogen/electric-based engine. The Ener-G-Force gets its fuel from hydrogen fuel cells with zero emissions. It's front leaning design makes it appear headstrong and stylish at the same time. The design also gives it a sleek appearance that makes it look about as [aerodynamic as an SUV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iaa-mobility) on 20 inch wheels can be. The vehicle looks and sounds great, but also bases some of its features on the development of technologies currently in their infancy. However, with a scheduled release in 2025, the Mercedes Ener-G-Force still has some time to be developed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hydrogen Fuel Cells:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advancements and applications of hydrogen fuel cells for zero-emission vehicles. - **Electric-based Engines:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more efficient and sustainable electric-based engines for transportation. - **Environmental Conscious Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate environmentally conscious design principles into vehicle manufacturing and automotive industry practices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate hydrogen fuel cell and electric-based engine technologies to transform the automotive industry towards sustainability. - **Renewable Energy Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with automotive manufacturers to expand the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology, driving innovation in the renewable energy industry. - **Design and Engineering Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply environmental consciousness to design and engineering processes, revolutionizing the industry with sustainable and stylish products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Concept Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-cla.md) - [Iconic Entirely Electric Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eq-technology-suv.md) - [Ultra-Futuristic Modern Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-vision-oneeleven.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Premium Electric Station Wagons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-benz-g580.md) - [All-Electric SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-land-cruiser-se-concept.md) - [German Plug-In Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-glc.md) - [New Energy Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-next.md) - [Hybrid-System Futuristic Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-one.md)
