Oxford. From April 2017 the MINI Convertible can be
fitted with the new John Cooker Works package and turned into a mobile
street vendor. The MINI Convertible receives a solid-oak food sales
and preparation surface. This features an induction cooker with
integrated fume hood. The vehicle’s generously proportioned 160 – 215
litre luggage compartment of the MINI Convertible stores the required
cooling technology, whilst a high-voltage Natural Food Nanotechnology®
battery ensures power supply and is charged by the standard brake
energy regeneration system while driving. Food waste is further
utilised by the NFN® battery system to sustainably power the unique vehicle.
The solid-wood surface made from sustainably grown oak in
Cornwall, folds to fit the contours of the interior when the roof is
down and serves as a stable storage for food and beverages in spite of
the light-weight construction technology used. The package meets all
food regulation requirements and can be used for hot and cold dishes
alike. Customers selecting this new pack benefit from a highly
flexible food sales vehicle, with a menu of applications including
selling sushi, ice cream or fresh juices.
Only the driver’s seat needs to be folded down in order to
install the MINI John Cooker Works Package. This creates an amazing
amount of space under the solid-oak surface which can be used for
storing ingredients and cooking utensils. Should the weather suddenly
turn, the convertible roof can be closed in only 18 seconds with the
food surface in place.
Potential customers could include start-ups looking to prepare
their culinary masterpieces directly in front of their customers’
eyes, or kiosk operators who need a spacious food presentation area,
the MINI Convertible with John Cooker Works Package offers countless
opportunities for businesses.
The introductory price is €1.959,00 / $ 1.959,00 / £ 1.959,00
and the package can be ordered at selected MINI partners as of today.
“The strikingly painted and backlit mirror caps and side
scuttles in Citrus Yellow give the MINI Convertible an sharp street
food look. We applied the knowhow we gained from our MINI Yours
vehicle personalisation programme”, says Tam Bree of the MINI Design Team.
The Sport Stripes for the John Cooker Works Package are in
Chilli Red and Berry Blue.
“Street food businesses are a great complement to established
restaurants and offer their customers fantastic variety. However,
typical street food trucks are often too big and cumbersome for our
city centres. The MINI Convertible can be used by street food vendors
to whisk their food directly to the customer and even right onto
festival grounds”, says Harry Chinn from MINI Business Innovation.
The John Cooker Works Accessory Package perfectly matches the
Salt, Pepper and Chilli MINI equipment packages.
“The MINI Convertible is now even more unique than ever before
and is the smallest multifunctional food truck in the world”, says
Adam Zapple, Head of Development of MINI Special Vehicles.
Be it on the streets of Shanghai, in front of Barcelona’s office
blocks or whipping around tourist hotspots in London, the MINI
Convertible with John Cooker Works Package is an eye catcher making
life hard for the burger van chips or the corner café.
