Bluebird Automotive

Bluebird Automotive was a British manufacturer of milk floats and other electric service vehicles.

The Electron E150 prototype held the world land speed record for an electric milk float.

Bluebird Automotive began life as a company called Redi-51 Limited, based in South Wales, which was incorporated on 12 March 2001.

In parallel with this, Bluebird built a vehicle to challenge the world speed record for milk floats, which they did in August 2003.
