New Milk Floats

This page shows some of the latest milk float designs.

This futuristic-looking float is the Bluebird XDV. It was designed specifically for Express Dairies, who have placed it into service on a trial with Parcelforce delivering parcels in Northampton. Thanks to Peter Rowlands for sending the picture (an official one for press release) and to Martin Rees, chairman of Bluebird Automotive, for confirming the identity of the float. For more information, contact Bluebird Automotive.

It delivers daily to 432 houses, travelling around 25 to 30 miles per day and returns still half charged. This picture shows the float at Express Dairies, Southport.
