On top of the other good answers here…if something like milk or food-grade liquids are being transported, there is an additional impression of high sanitationcleanliness that you get with polished stainless steel surfaces. It’s all over the place in food preparation areas because it cleans up and disinfects well (and looks good), so there is a well-deserved sanitary connotation to it.

Reflecting heat and additional visibility. Both at the same time.

Also, for things like milk, easier to sanitize and see if cleaned.

If you’re carrying something temperature-sensitive, you don’t want it heating up on a hot sunny day. It’s going to happen, but a mirror finish reflects a lot of heat that would otherwise get into your cargo.
