is celebrating the end of the summer by creating a giant, 21-foot tall ice cream truck called the N-ICE with five-foot tall tires at Great Yarmouth Beach in England that will give away 6,500 servings ice cream to visitors from August 20 to August 26. Next month the truck will begin touring the UK.

The truck is part of the promotion of the Octavia vRS, and the car will be on display beside the truck.

The truck weighs 5.5 metric tons and took Skoda’s engineers 3 weeks to build. It will also appear in the advertisements for the Octavia vRS that begin airing on Sunday, August 25. A giant stereo and vRS versions of a child’s trike and lawnmower, which will be the Octavia vRS’ UK advertising, will also be on display.

“The Octavia vRS is not your average family car, so we created an ice cream van that is also far from average!  The giant ice cream van will be touring the UK handing out up to 6,500 servings of free ice cream, offering members of the public a fun sense of what you could experience if you vRS’d your life,” said Heidi Cartledge, Head of Marketing at Skoda UK.
