When the New England Patriots face off against the [Philadelphia Eagles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacsun-x-wild-collective) at Minnesota's US Bank Stadium for Super Bowl LII, fans will be shuttled to the biggest football game of the year in the [battery-powered Proterra Catalyst 40-foot bus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yutong-bus) commissioned by the [Minnesota Valley Transit Authority](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tost-by-tostitos) (MVTA). The environmentally friendly transit vehicle was made in the USA. This weekend it will also deal with challenging circumstances: rush hour, peak weekend hours and heavily-traveled roads, not to mention forecasts of below freezing weather. A single 40-seater Proterra Catalyst bus will be deployed amongst other regular buses for Super Bowl 52. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Zero-waste Super Bowl:** A trend towards hosting zero-waste events, such as the Super Bowl, creates opportunities for companies to develop innovative waste management solutions. - **Battery-powered Transit Vehicles:** The use of electric transit vehicles like the Proterra Catalyst bus presents opportunities for the development of more sustainable and eco-friendly public transportation systems. - **Eco-friendly Sports Transportation:** The use of environmentally friendly transit vehicles for major sporting events opens up possibilities for the development of sustainable transportation solutions in the sports industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Waste Management:** The zero-waste Super Bowl trend creates disruptive innovation opportunities for waste management companies to develop advanced recycling and waste diversion technologies. - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** The increasing demand for battery-powered transit vehicles presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the electric vehicle manufacturing industry to develop more efficient, cost-effective, and long-range electric buses. - **Sports Transportation:** The adoption of eco-friendly transit vehicles for sporting events creates innovative opportunities for companies in the sports transportation industry to develop sustainable and emission-free transportation solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delhi-Based Electric Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delhi.md) - [Emissions-Free Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-transit-phev-eco-evolution.md) - [Battery-Electric Bus Solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-electric-bus.md) - [Electric Public Transportation Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higer-new-v.md) - [Autonomous Timber Transportation Shuttles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-shuttle.md) - [Eco-Friendly Tourist Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosie-travel.md) - [Autonomous Interactive Shuttle Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-atoz-shuttle-bus.md) - [Fully Electric Retro Busses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volskwagen-id-buzz.md) - [Solar-Powered Cargo Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-van.md)
