SEOUL, KOREA - The food truck that can be found in amusement parks and street corners selling hot dogs, noodles, and coffee will be run legitimately from the second half of this year. In a meeting of economic ministers on March 27 presided over by Prime Minister Hyun Oh-seok, as many as 41 regulations out of 52 recommended for abolition by a regulatory reform ministers meeting held on the 20th were passed for implementation.

 

 

 

At the time, Bae Young-gi, president of Duriwon FnF, a company specializing food truck customization, appealed to the ministers that the current laws make it illegal to refit a regular truck into a food truck and the laws be repealed for companies like his.

 

The Prime Minister said in the meeting, "The government will push forward with the deregulation drive with a belief that absurd regulations are shackles that keep the economy from running faster."

 

As part of this drive, the government will revise laws by this July so that food truck operators can sell foods and beverages from their customized trucks as long as the trucks have a minimum cargo space of 0.5 square meter. In addition, automobile customization will be permitted as long as the custom job wouldn't compromise the car's safety. With this change, there will be many vans turned into RVs for camping and other recreational purposes.
