Milk float
|
|
A milk float is a small electric vehicle, specifically designed for the delivery of fresh milk. They were once common in many European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, and were operated by local dairies. However, in recent years, as the number of supermarkets, small independent grocers and petrol stations stocking fresh milk has increased, most people have switched from regular home delivery to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources. Milk floats don't travel very fast, usually around 5-10 mph.
