The name on the front of the vehicle is ERNIE'S THE ROCKET. Once a common sight in many parts of the UK, these battery-powered electric vehicles for delivering milk to houses are now a rarity. One benefit of a milk float is that is a very quiet vehicle, ideal for use in residential areas during the early hours of the morning when most people are asleep.
