I am therefore proud that we are the first airline caterer in the world with two 100% electric catering trucks. It is fantastic that our team will be testing these electric trucks in the coming period&#8221;, Michiel van der Eijk, CEO KLM Catering Services said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>INTENSIVE TESTING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KCS has asked two suppliers of airport equipment, DOLL and Mallaghan, to each develop an electric catering truck, and car company Volvo built the chassis. In the coming period, KCS will extensively test these two prototypes. The performance of the trucks, the impact on the catering process and user-friendliness will be evaluated. The insights gained during this testing period will help to further optimise the trucks and contribute to efficient integration into daily operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
