	There are mainly two types of ice cream vans in the United Kingdom: a ''hard van'', which sells scoop ice cream and is only equipped with a freezer and a ''soft van'', which has a freezer and also a soft serve "[[Mr. Whippy (United Kingdom)\|whippy]]" machine for serving [[ice cream cone]]s and [[Screwball (ice cream)\|screwballs]]. They are usually converted from factory standard vans with the rear cut away and replaced with a fibre glass body (to reduce the weight).

They are usually converted from factory standard vans with the rear cut away and replaced with a fibre glass body (to reduce the weight).

	Because of the [[Climate of the United Kingdom\|British climate]], running an ice cream van profitably is not only very difficult outside summer, but is also an unpredictable business. A summer [[Heatwave (climate)\|heatwave]] can provoke a massive upturn in fortunes for a few days, but after the weather has cooled sales drop off dramatically. The need to take advantage of rare and short-lived opportunities can result in the fierce rivalry between ice cream vans in coterminous areas, with the main disputes being over who is entitled to sell ice cream in a particular 'patch'. This has also led to some ice cream van vendors [[~~Diversity~~ (~~business~~)\|diversifying]] and selling other products such as [[crisps]], [[French fried potatoes\|chips]], burgers or [[hot dog]]s from their vehicles at other times of the year.

	An '''ice cream van''' ([[British English\|British]]) or '''ice cream truck''' ([[~~North~~ American English\|~~North~~ American]]) is a [[commercial vehicle]] that serves as a cold-food specialty [[food truck]] or a mobile [[retail]] outlet for pre-packaged [[ice cream]], usually during the spring and summer. Ice cream vans are often seen parked at public events, or near parks, beaches, or other areas where people congregate. Ice cream vans often travel near where children play – outside schools, in [[residential]] areas, or in other locations. They usually stop briefly before moving on to the next street. Along the sides, a large sliding window acts as a serving hatch, and this often displays pictures of the available products and their prices. Most ice cream vans tend to sell both pre-manufactured [[ice pop]]s in wrappers, and [[soft serve]] ice cream from a machine, served in a cone, and often with a [[99 Flake\|chocolate flake]] (in Britain), a sugary [[syrup]], or toppings such as [[sprinkles]]. While franchises or chains are rare within the ice cream truck community (most trucks are independently owned and run), some do exist.

	An '''ice cream van''' ([[British English\|British]]) or '''ice cream truck''' ([[North American English\|North American]]) is a [[commercial vehicle]] that serves as a cold-food specialty [[food truck]] or ~~amobile~~ [[retail]] outlet for pre-packaged [[ice cream]], usually during the spring and summer. Ice cream vans are often seen parked at public events, or near parks, beaches, or other areas where people congregate. Ice cream vans often travel near where children play — outside schools, in [[residential]] areas, or in other locations. They usually stop briefly before moving on to the next street. Along the sides, a large sliding window acts as a serving hatch, and this often displays pictures of the available products and their prices. Most ice cream vans tend to sell both pre-manufactured [[ice pop]]s in wrappers, and [[soft serve]] ice cream from a machine, served in a cone, and often with a [[99 Flake\|chocolate flake]] (in Britain), a sugary [[syrup]], or toppings such as [[sprinkles]]. While franchises or chains are rare within the ice cream truck community (most trucks are independently owned and run), some do exist.

	There are mainly two types of ice cream vans in the United Kingdom: a ''hard van'', which sells scoop ice cream and is only equipped with a freezer and a ''soft van'', which has a freezer and also a soft serve "[[Mr. Whippy (United Kingdom)\|whippy]]" machine for serving [[ice cream cone]]s and [[Screwball (ice cream)\|screwballs]]. They are usually converted from factory standard vans with the rear cut away and replaced with a fibre glass body (to reduce the weight).

They are usually converted from factory standard vans with the rear cut away and replaced with a fibre glass body (to reduce the weight).

	Because of the [[Climate of the United Kingdom\|British climate]], running an ice cream van profitably is not only very difficult outside summer, but is also an unpredictable business. A summer [[Heatwave (climate)\|heatwave]] can provoke a massive upturn in fortunes for a few days, but after the weather has cooled sales drop off dramatically. The need to take advantage of rare and short-lived opportunities can result in the fierce rivalry between ice cream vans in coterminous areas, with the main disputes being over who is entitled to sell ice cream in a particular 'patch'. This has also led to some ice cream van vendors [[~~Diversity~~ (~~business~~)\|diversifying]] and selling other products such as [[crisps]], [[French fried potatoes\|chips]], burgers or [[hot dog]]s from their vehicles at other times of the year.

	In a number of Local Authority areas, particularly in London Boroughs with existing street markets, street trading regulations prohibit ice cream vans from remaining in one static location. The legislation also contains powers to ban ice-cream vans from specific streets. Proposals in the current London Local Authorities Bill would allow only 15 minutes trading per vehicle per street each day.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?LegType=All+Legislation&title=london+local+authorities&searchEnacted=0&extentMatchOnly=0&confersPower=0&blanketAmendment=0&sortAlpha=0&TYPE=QS&PageNumber=1&NavFrom=0&parentActiveTextDocId=1513318&ActiveTextDocId=1513333&filesize=1029\|title=London Local Authorities Act 1994 (c. xii)\|publisher=[[Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom)\|Ministry of Justice]]\|access-date=11 May 2008\|archive-date=11 June 2008\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080611164813/http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?LegType=All+Legislation&title=london+local+authorities&searchEnacted=0&extentMatchOnly=0&confersPower=0&blanketAmendment=0&sortAlpha=0&TYPE=QS&PageNumber=1&NavFrom=0&parentActiveTextDocId=1513318&ActiveTextDocId=1513333&filesize=1029\|url-status=dead}}</ref> There also exists a nationwide code of practice<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications/2012/01/24/pb13704-noise-ice-cream-van-chimes/\|title=Code of Practice on Noise from Ice Cream Van Chimes\|website=Defra.gov.uk\|access-date=10 January 2012\|archive-date=30 October 2012\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030225900/http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications/2012/01/24/pb13704-noise-ice-cream-van-chimes/\|url-status=live}}</ref> for the use of chimes, which limits the volume to 80 dB and the duration to twelve seconds, but these are rarely observed nor enforced.
