2-World’s first floating ice cream van/世界第一部水上冰淇淋車

Mr Mounfield said: "I’m the captain of a floating ice cream van. It’s crazy! I hope our amphibious van marks the start of a great revival of the ice cream trade on UK shores."

Ice cream manufacturers claim the industry is in meltdown on dry land with the number of vans falling from 20,000 to just 5,000 over the past 50 years.

A growing number of councils ban vans from housing estates, parks and outside schools because of concerns about noise pollution and childhood obesity.

Others have created ice cream selling ‘exclusion zones’ in town centres, hiked the cost of a van operator’s licence and limited how long vans can sound their chimes.

Ice cream firms are also being hit hard by the rising cost of the ingredients milk and sugar, and record petrol prices.
