The CT6000E, which will be operated by catering company DO & CO, was unveiled in Boston during a ceremony attended by Governor Maura Healey, State Representative Adrian Madaro and Boston City Councillor Gabriela Coletta-Zopata.

The catering truck is the result of a collaboration between Mallaghan and International Motors, which is powered by an electric powertrain, eliminating tailpipe emissions, reducing noise pollution and aligning with efforts to reduce the carbon footprint from GSE.

Joe Griffith, Chief Commercial Officer of Mallaghan, said: “The CT6000E not only reinforces our commitment to innovation and sustainability but also supports our partners in their pursuit of greener, safer and more efficient operations.”

The CT6000E features new technologies to improve efficiency and safety including an advanced aircraft-controlled approach system to reduce aircraft damage, a 360 degree Birds Eye camera system with an onboard hard drive and on-board telemetry.

Debbie Shust, Vice President of Customer Insights and Experience at International Motors, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Mallaghan to introduce the first fully electric aircraft catering truck in North America—a testament to what’s possible through purposeful collaboration centred around helping customers reach their goals. This innovative zero-emissions vehicle highlights our commitment to delivering products and services that meet each customer’s unique needs.”
