EV food truck debuts at TT360

Malaysia's first electric vehicle (EV) food truck made its debut at the Taste & Trade 360 (TT360) 2026 exhibition, which took place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The three-day event, officiated by Deputy Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Minister Datuk Mohamad Alamin, brought together 260 exhibition booths featuring local and international suppliers.

The EV food truck, powered by X-Miles and developed in collaboration with Chery, merges an electric vehicle with a commercial kitchen. The vehicle's electrical system can power lighting and select onboard equipment, reducing reliance on conventional fuel-powered generators. The EV food truck aims to address the challenges faced by food and beverage (F&B) operators, such as rising costs, manpower constraints, and changing consumer expectations.

Ping Edge Sdn Bhd's CEO, Ethan Choong, emphasized the importance of technology in helping F&B businesses remain competitive in the current market.
