An electric ice cream van that can go over 70 mph! 🍦🚐💨

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! 🍨😄

An electric ice cream van has been created that can reach the zooming speed of 118.964 km/h (73.921 mph). 🍦🚐💨

Edd China, a British record-breaking legend, is the man behind the fastest electric ice cream van in the world. 

Edd began to work his magic to electrify the van back in 2018. 

After two years of modifications and despite the challenges of the coronavirus, he broke the record in March 2020. 

The record was measured at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire, UK, and the speed he achieved would have given Edd a speeding ticket if he were on a motorway!

This project was never just about breaking records for Edd; it also had an environmental importance too. 

He discovered ice cream vans were being banned in some London boroughs because of their carbon emissions. 

So Edd decided to create a special engine conversion kit for ice cream vans so that they can run on electricity rather than diesel, which is much better for the environment. 

He hopes to roll this out globally, future proofing ice cream vans as a key part of Summertime. ☀️

This becomes his seventh Guinness World Record title centred around speedy motorised vehicles, including the fastest office, which he set back in 2006. 📝📞

It travelled at 140 km/h (87 mph), in case you were wondering!

Edd now has his sights set on breaking the record for the fastest motorized shopping trolley currently held at 70.4 mph. 

Edd’s epic ice cream van will feature alongside thousands of others in the 2021 edition of the book, available from September onwards.
