Global fast food company Pizza Hut has introduced Tundra PIE Pro, a new mobile pizza factory.

The vehicle was revealed at Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota’s 2018 Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in the US. This represents Pizza Hut’s second partnership with Toyota Motor.

This electric hydrogen fuel-cell-powered truck features a refrigerator, two computer-guided robotic arms, and a portable conveyor oven. When a customer places an order, the first robotic arm collects a pizza from the refrigerator and places it on a conveyor, which is fed through a high-speed ventless oven.

The second robotic arm collects the heated pizza, divides it into six slices and packs it before delivering to the customer.

“We are exploring next-generation solutions and automation to support and streamline our delivery business in the future.”

Pizza Hut’s US chief customer and operations officer Nicolas Burquier said: “We are constantly focused on evolving our processes and systems through improvements and innovations that allow our team members and drivers to better serve our customers.

“We are exploring next-generation solutions and automation to support and streamline our delivery business in the future.

“The Tundra PIE Pro and our work with Toyota are only helping accelerate our commitment to transform both the team member and the customer experience at Pizza Hut.”

In January, the fast food chain signed a new mobility service business alliance with Toyota to develop an autonomous pizza delivery service.

The alliance aims to incorporate Toyota’s fully autonomous concept vehicle e-Palette into Pizza Hut’s delivery business.
