KLM Catering Services (KCS) has taken an innovative step by deploying the world’s first fully electric and refrigerated catering trucks. This initiative is part of KLM’s commitment to achieving emission-free ground operations by 2030.
According to KCS’s General Manager, Michiel van der Eijk, the company aims to lead the adoption of new technologies in the sector, standing out as a pioneer with two 100% electric vehicles. He expressed pride in the initiative and emphasized that the team will be testing the new trucks over the coming months, as reported by Aeroin.
Exclusively electric
The vehicles, in addition to being fully electric, are equipped with an electric motor for the refrigeration system. This results in significantly quieter operation, benefiting both drivers and other workers on airport runways.
The trucks were developed by two airport equipment suppliers, DOLL and Mallaghan, with chassis manufactured by Volvo. KCS plans to conduct intensive testing to evaluate the performance of the vehicles, their impact on the catering process, and ease of use. The information gathered during this phase will be used to optimize the trucks and efficiently integrate them into daily operations.
