Custom Kei Trucks & Electric Mini Trucks
A small truck for a big idea.
Your coffee shop, flower business or mobile boutique doesn’t need a large footprint to make an impression.
The Hudson Trailer Company converts Japanese Kei trucks and electric mini trucks into custom mobile businesses, with inviting service areas, thoughtful storage and finishes that make your brand recognizable.
From a Subaru Sambar coffee truck to a custom electric visitor center, we build around the experience you want to create.
Gas Kei truck projects start at $45,000, before equipment and design. Electric mini trucks are quoted individually.
Bring your business closer to your customers.
A mini truck creates an approachable place to order a coffee, browse flowers or discover a brand. Its compact proportions make it a compelling choice for markets, events, hospitality properties and neighborhood service.
The vehicle becomes part of your identity. Custom paint, signage and a welcoming display or serving area help customers recognize your business before they reach the window.
Choose your starting point.
Japanese Kei trucks
Imported Japanese mini trucks, including the Subaru Sambar, combine a distinctive cab with a compact bed that can become a custom service or display space.
Choose a gas Kei truck for its character, then make it your own with the layout, equipment and finishes your concept needs.
Projects from $45,000, before equipment and design.
Electric mini trucks
An electric mini truck offers another starting point for a custom mobile business, with a platform selected around your intended use.
These trucks are built to order and quoted individually. Allow 16–20 weeks for the vehicle itself before the conversion begins. We’ll discuss the complete project schedule when planning your build.

More than a coffee truck.
A mini truck can become:
- A mobile coffee shop with a focused drinks menu.
- A flower truck with an inviting display.
- A compact mobile bar.
- A boutique or retail pop-up.
- A branded promotional vehicle.
- A mobile visitor information center.
We start with what you’ll serve, sell or display, then plan the space around it. Equipment dimensions, storage, power and service access all help determine the right setup.
