The Mallaghan CT6000E, set to be operated by renowned catering firm DO & CO, made its official debut in Boston during a special ceremony attended by distinguished guests including Governor Maura Healey, State Representative Adrian Madaro, and Boston City Councillor Gabriela Coletta-Zopata.
This cutting-edge catering truck is the fruit of a strategic collaboration between Mallaghan and International Motors, boasting an all-electric powertrain that eliminates tailpipe emissions and curbs noise pollution. By design, it aligns perfectly with the industry’s ongoing efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of ground support equipment (GSE) and advance sustainable aviation practices.
Joe Griffith, Chief Commercial Officer at Mallaghan, emphasized the vehicle’s dual commitment to innovation and sustainability: “The CT6000E not only underscores our dedication to pushing the boundaries of GSE technology but also empowers our partners to achieve greener, safer, and more efficient operations. It’s a tangible reflection of our mission to redefine ground support with sustainability at its core.”
Beyond its eco-friendly credentials, the CT6000E integrates state-of-the-art technologies to enhance operational efficiency and safety. Key features include an advanced aircraft-controlled approach system—engineered to minimize the risk of aircraft damage—a 360-degree Birds Eye camera system with on-board hard drive storage, and real-time on-board telemetry for enhanced fleet management.
Debbie Shust, Vice President of Customer Insights and Experience at International Motors, hailed the landmark collaboration: “We’re delighted to partner with Mallaghan to introduce North America’s first fully electric aircraft catering truck—a milestone that showcases the power of purpose-driven collaboration in helping customers achieve their sustainability goals. This zero-emission vehicle exemplifies our commitment to delivering tailored solutions that address each customer’s unique needs while driving industry-wide progress.”
