Since 1962, the English company Whitby Morrison has been known for commercial vehicle bodies. Almost exclusively, the professionals have been using chassis from Mercedes-Benz for the past ten years.
Because concerts, fairs and festivals have almost without exception been canceled in the current Corona year, many ice cream vendors want to return to mobile business in residential areas, as was common 50 years ago.
Important is the star on the hood
Whitby Morrison is now benefiting from this trend with its ice cream trucks. The latest order comprises 55 Mercedes Sprinter chassis. Operations Director Ed Whitby considers the Sprinter to be exemplary in terms of reliability. He also praises the fuel efficiency, safety and comfort of this vehicle.
Ed Whitby: "Ice cream truck operators are very careful to be able to show the star on the hood."
