Nutrilovers – Citroën HY


Nutrilovers food truck seen next to Doca de Belém, Lisboa, in April 2024. This food truck (or food van), is a Citroën HY, presumably registered in 1971. This example, which appears to have a total length of 14 ft, allows for the preservation and preparation of food, and the serving of customers at a sun-protected counter on the right side. Given their low floor and excellent interior space configuration, coupled with simple and robust mechanics, Citroën HY vans, along with Volkswagen Kombis, are perennial favorites for food trucks. Furthermore, their unique and charming look appeals to all generations. Parked next to the Belém Dock, with the coolness of the Tejo River right beside it, this food truck, dressed in light blue and white, the colors of Nutrilovers, is an irresistible stop. Here, on a beautiful spring morning in April 2024, we found it (her…) still sleeping, before another day offering healthy food and bringing so many smiles. ●


Carrinha de comida da Nutrilovers vista junto à Doca de Belém, Lisboa, em Abril de 2024. Esta carrinha de comida é uma Citroën HY, presumivelmente registada em 1971. Este exemplar, que parece ter um comprimento total de 4,28 m, permite a conservação e preparação de comida, e o atendimento aos clientes num balcão do lado direito, protegido do sol. Dado o piso rebaixado e a excelente configuração do espaço interior, associados a uma mecânica simples e robusta, as Citroën HY são, a par das Volkswagen Kombi, eternas favoritas para carrinhas de comida. Depois, o seu ar simpático conquista todas as gerações. Parqueada junto à Doca de Belém, com a frescura do Rio Tejo mesmo ali ao lado, esta carrinha de comida, vestida de azul clarinho e branco, as cores da Nutrilovers, é um ponto de paragem irresistível. Aqui, numa bela manhã de Primavera em Abril de 2024, encontrámo-la ainda a dormir, antes de mais um dia a propor comida saudável e a despertar tantos sorrisos. ●

Changes In December 2022, both websites, " IT'S ONLY BUSES " and " MY POLIGURI COLLECTION ", definitely reached the end of their path, with, respectively, more than 191 000 and 23 000 views. However, some of the contents published between 2009 and 2016 have been included, updated and with images in a larger standard format, in its successors, " FUTURE MEMORY | TRANSPORTATION " and " FUTURE MEMORY | TOYS & MODELS ". Both websites, " IT'S ONLY BUSES " and " MY POLIGURI COLLECTION ", were born at a time when I thought it was possible to maintain a meeting point for each of my research topics – " IT'S ONLY BUSES ", " IT'S ONLY TRAINS ", " MY POLIGURI COLLECTION ", to mention just a few. After making five of the announced titles available, I understood that I was wrong and in 2016 I defined another concept, " FUTURE MEMORY ", online since 2018, with only three research top...
