A product of the Peugeot Design Lab, this... contraption is a bistro on wheels based on a Peugeot Boxer van. Unveiled to few people at a special event in Paris, the gastronomical concept vehicle is set to be presented to the whole world at the 2015 Milan Design Week.
If you’re wondering if it will enter production, I’m sorry to burst your bubble and offer a firm “no.” Then again, why did the French manufacturer spent time and money on making this concept vehicle? The answer to that can be found if you turn back time to the 19th century. Not joking.

In 1840, Peugeot was selling coffee mills. Then, in 1874, Peugeot upped the ante with... pepper mills. Thing is, the pepper mills were sold with a lifetime warranty for the milling mechanism. As a result, gastronomy is in Peugeot veins. More proof of the marque’s appreciation for food?

Well, Peugeot is the only automotive brand that continues to design and manufacture tableware. So not joking. With the Foodtruck, the Frenchies blended their food-related know-how with the art of making passenger vehicles. Or something like that, who knows? The French have always been surprising.

When the Peugeot Foodtruck “spreads its wings to double its width,” its nameplate changes to Le Bistrot du Lion. In this format, the Foodtruck provides accommodation on standing panels for up to 30 hungry people.

Four induction burners, a deep fryer, two grilling plates, and two huge refrigerators are the Peugeot van’s highlights. Garçon, what’s the French word for kebab?
