# Camouflage Cars The Renault Picnic is a Zero-Emission Concept Doubles as Art By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-09-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-emission-concept-car References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/renault-picnic-zero-emissions-concept-car-provides-room-for-social-gathering/) [Renault](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-scenic-etech-electric) introduces a zero-emission concept car, the Picnic, designed by Gabriel Wartofsky. The Renault Picnic can easily assimilate into any urban and natural environment due to the car’s LED-impregnated glass coated polycarbonate windows. This allows for a customizable camouflage to appear on the car’s surface creating a car that is both transportation and public art. Lithium ion batteries and two rear-mounted in-wheel hub motors power this eco-conscious vehicle. The seat frames on the Renault Picnic are made of soy-foam and can swing outwards for comfortable picnic-friendly seating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Camouflage Vehicles:** Opportunity to innovate on sustainable and aesthetic vehicle design with camouflage technology. - **Customizable Public Art:** Opportunity to expand the use of LED-impregnated glass technology for artistic expression on a mobile platform. - **Soy-based Interior Materials:** Opportunity to explore the use of sustainable materials like soy-foam in other industries beyond automotive. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to incorporate eco-friendly design elements and customization options using LED-technology. - **Art Industry:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore innovative ways of incorporating technology into their work, specifically LED-impregnated glass. - **Materials Industry:** Opportunity for companies to invest in the development of sustainable materials like soy-foam for use in various industries beyond just automotive. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptive Interior EV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-scenic-etech-electric.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Transforming Camp Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elo-concept.md) - [Panoramic In-Car Lounge Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-4l.md) - [Near-Future Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-clio-vi.md) - [Next-Gen Safety SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-symbioz-hybrid-suv.md) - [Efficient Micro Mobility EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-etech-electric-prototype.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md) - [Pet-Friendly EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-pet-communication-device-concept.md)
