In the deep heat of the desert SW USA... the interiors of service-trucks [and parked Acft] can get blistering/insufferably hot... +130F... there is a real threat from distorting and 'exploding soda cans'.

Coincidental to that article...
Flight attendants push for cabin temperature standards

/NOTE/ My folks lived in S Arizona for ~15-years and regularly saw +115F on the outdoor thermometer. That hot is really HOT!!
