Emission-Free Hearses

This All-Electric Hearse is Based On a Tesla Model S

— September 30, 2016 — Autos
Van der Lans & Busscher BV, a famous limousine service company based in the Netherlands, has developed an innovative new hearse that is designed to help you ride out into the afterlife while resting assured that your departure was an eco-friendly one.

This hearse was constructed by Dutch builder RemetzCar and based on the famous Tesla Model S, which received an extension of about 80 cm. The vehicle features suitably modest and mature looking roofs and windows, while a retractable floor features plenty of room for a coffin. However, the most remarkable thing about this particular hearse is surely the fact that it's believed to be the first completely electric hearse vehicle developed.

This Tesla-based hearse is being exhibited at the 2016 Funeral Exhibition, where it is provoking people to think about eco-friendly funeral technologies.

Trend Themes
1. Emission-free Hearses - Developing all-electric hearses can disrupt the funeral industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives for transportation.
2. Eco-friendly Funeral Technologies - The rise of eco-consciousness in the funeral industry presents opportunities for developing innovative technologies that reduce environmental impact.
3. Conversion of Traditional Vehicles to Electric - Transforming popular vehicle models into electric options, like the Tesla Model S-based hearse, can open up a new market for electric vehicle conversions.
Industry Implications
1. Funeral Services - Incorporating emission-free hearses can provide funeral service companies with an eco-friendly and sustainable transportation solution.
2. Automotive Manufacturing - Collaborating with funeral service companies to build electric hearse models can create new business opportunities for automotive manufacturers.
3. Electric Vehicle Conversions - The conversion of traditional vehicles, such as the Tesla Model S, into electric hearses can fuel the growth of the electric vehicle conversion industry.
