Editing Milk float (section)

==Statistics==

In August 1967, the UK Electric Vehicle Association put out a [[press release]] stating that Britain had more battery-electric vehicles on its roads than the rest of the world combined.<ref name=Autocar1967 >{{cite magazine |title = News and Views: Britain's Electric Vehicles|magazine=[[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]] | volume =  127 nbr 3729| page =55| date = 3 August 1967}}</ref> It is not clear what research the association had undertaken into the number of electric vehicles of other countries, but closer inspection disclosed that almost all of the battery-driven vehicles licensed for UK road use were milk floats.<ref name=Autocar1967/>

Glasgow has one of the largest working milk float fleets in the UK. Most of the vehicles operate from the Grandtully Depot in [[Kelvindale]]. Some dairies in the UK, including [[Dairy Crest]], have had to modernise and have replaced their electric milk floats with [[petrol]] or [[diesel fuel]]-powered vehicles to speed up deliveries and thus increase profit.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
