Buy or sell a food truck
in just a few clicks

To keep your food truck running smoothly, it needs three essential resources: electricity, gas, and water. Let’s break it all down for you!

🔌 Electricity: the engine of your daily life
It’s impossible to run a refrigerator, a light, or a blender without it. You have several options depending on your location:

Connect to a standard outlet or an electrical hookup.
Use a generator when you’re out in nature.
Opt for lithium batteries, an innovative but still expensive solution.
And for greater autonomy, some even integrate solar panels.

🔥 Gas: to heat the stoves

Electricity isn’t always enough to run all your cooking equipment. Gas remains essential for fryers, griddles, or cooktops.

💧 Water: for top-notch hygiene

Your food truck must have at least one water point for washing your hands and comply with regulations. A sink can also be integrated. We install self-contained systems with a pump and dual tanks (clean water/wastewater).

👉 Our professionals will help you choose the right installations for your business.

On Le Bon Coin, you can find a second-hand food truck for less than €20,000. On the other hand, a brand-new, fully equipped truck ready to operate can go up to €150,000. The budget depends on several factors:

• New or second-hand.
  Onboard equipment (gas, water, electricity…).
• Quality of finishes and selected options.
• Compliance with standards, VASP certification, etc.

Compact versions exist, but the most common size remains a unit approximately 4.20 m long by 2.10 m wide. The choice depends on your needs:

• Working with others?
• Anything less than 4.20 m will likely be cramped.

Want to transport large equipment? You’ll need more space!

👉 We’re here to help you find the perfect size.

Buying a food truck isn’t just about choosing a vehicle. The interior needs to reflect your concept, your menu, and your pace. Before you launch, ask yourself the right questions:

• Do you cook on-site or do you prepare everything in advance?
• What equipment do you need? Oven, griddle, fryer, grill?

👉 We’ve prepared a complete guide to help you plan your layout.

VASP registration is mandatory! This is the endorsement on your vehicle registration document that proves your food truck is compliant for road use and insurance. But that’s not all:

• Gas and electricity standards must be met.
• A working water supply is required.
• Materials must comply with hygiene regulations.

👉 At Le Monde du Food Truck, all our vehicles are delivered with up-to-date certificates.

Buying used is more accessible, but beware of pitfalls! Before purchasing, carefully check:

• VASP type approval.
• Sanitary compliance.
  Technical reports (gas, electricity).
• Quality of materials and condition of equipment.
  Up-to-date vehicle inspection.

With a new vehicle, you have peace of mind:

Customized conversion;
Turnkey vehicle, approved for professional events;
Warranty and after-sales service.

A trailer is a more economical alternative. No engine, no vehicle inspection, but you’ll need a vehicle to tow it. Depending on its size, training may be required to maneuver it.

You have several options for financing your project:

• Your own savings;
• A bank loan;
• Leasing;
• Long-term rental.

And don’t forget that there are grants and subsidies available for starting a business.

Renting might seem like a convenient way to test your concept, but finding a well-equipped and customized truck can be tricky.
