Milk float

<p>A milk float is a <a href="/facts/Vehicle/jSIEqANL">vehicle</a> specifically designed for the <a href="/facts/Delivery_(commerce)/Mru95YUD">delivery</a> of fresh <a href="/facts/Milk/wDJBUHvy">milk</a>. Today, milk floats are usually <a href="/facts/Battery_electric_vehicle/vz6w8xyS">battery electric vehicles</a> (BEV), but they were formerly <a href="/facts/Float_(horse-drawn)/dST5yESU">horse-drawn floats</a>. They were once common in many European countries, particularly the <a href="/facts/United_Kingdom/kuPAILt2">United Kingdom</a>, and were operated by local <a href="/facts/Dairy/dFp04CXD">dairies</a>. However, in recent years, as the number of <a href="/facts/Supermarket/vmmcByVt">supermarkets</a>, small independent <a href="/facts/Grocer/wvIJYWLV">grocers</a> and <a href="/facts/Petrol_stations/8tKyIht7">petrol stations</a>, and <a href="/facts/Convenience_stores/LpWjFLqc">convenience stores</a> stocking fresh milk has increased, many people have switched from regular <a href="/facts/Home_delivery/Mru95YUD">home delivery</a> to obtaining fresh milk from these other sources.
