Powering Ice Cream Vans Across the UK

Ice cream vans are notoriously power hungry, as it takes a lot of energy to keep things frozen on the hottest of days. But there are cleaner, more efficient ways of powering your van than idling the engine all day, wasting fuel and raising emissions.

Here at PPT, we build modern, lithium battery-based systems that provide reliable, silent, and emission-free power throughout your working day. Our engineers will deliver you a bespoke system tailored to your exact needs – no unnecessary extras or hidden charges – powering your freezers, lights, slush machines, and even music systems. Whatever draws electricity in your van, we’ll make sure it’s powered.
