The bus comes in two color schemes and boasts an airbag in the front in order to provide enhanced safety in the event of an unavoidable collision with a pedestrian. The LED strips on the rims as well as on the top of the fender change color in order to communicate its function to passengers and those passing by. The conceptual Vectalia 'STREAT' bus is the design work of Andreas Grasmück and will provide enhanced maneuverability to make it ideal for use in [cramped urban areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numa-concept). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Autonomous Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and implement autonomous technology for urban buses to improve safety and efficiency. - **Enhanced Safety Features:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced safety features, such as airbags and LED communication systems, for public transportation vehicles. - **Urban Mobility Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and develop innovative transportation solutions specifically tailored for crowded urban areas. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate autonomous technology into public transportation fleets to revolutionize the automotive industry. - **Safety and Security:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement advanced safety features in public transportation vehicles to revolutionize the safety and security industry. - **Smart Cities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create urban mobility solutions to transform the way people travel within smart cities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Transparent Self-Driving EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimo-electric-vehicle.md) - [Autonomous Timber Transportation Shuttles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-shuttle.md) - [Maneuverable Electric City Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ree-xbw.md) - [Inflated Vibrant Futuristic Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutated-school-bus.md) - [Automated Transit Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-transit-bus.md) - [AI-Powered Autonomous Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-buses.md) - [Semi-Amphibious Bus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estuary-hopper.md)
