Solar-Powered Curry Truck
A solar-powered food truck concept that eliminates generators and runs entirely on clean renewable energy, delivering authentic curry bowls for $5 each.
About This Project
The Solar-Powered Curry Truck is a bold new take on the food truck experience. Built on Xpanse Solar Awning technology and high-capacity batteries, the truck eliminates noisy, polluting generators and runs entirely on clean renewable energy. This means every plate of curry is cooked and served with sunshine. With streamlined cooking systems, smart prep automation, and custom robotics for self-serve dispensing, the truck delivers hot, authentic curry bowls for just $5 each—served in near real time. Beyond lowering operating costs, the project demonstrates how modern cuisine can pair with cutting-edge sustainable technology—showing customers, event hosts, and cities that delicious food, speed, and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
