Car with Mobile Toilet
Currently, some cars or related models are equipped with mobile toilet functions or related designs. Here is a detailed introduction:
The base model of the Jiefang J7 luxury version does not come standard with a restroom, but the high-end Chuangling and Classic versions offer optional restroom installations. Its 550-horsepower luxury AMT tractor is priced at around 550,000 yuan by the manufacturer, and adding a restroom costs approximately an additional 3,000 yuan (specifics need to be negotiated with the 4S dealership). The restroom is equipped with a folding toilet, showerhead, black water tank indicator, etc. It features a compact design with good sealing and odor removal effects. This design is primarily aimed at long-haul truck drivers, meeting their basic living needs during extended driving periods and enhancing driving comfort and convenience.
On April 10, 2024, Seres received approval from the National Intellectual Property Administration for its utility model patent titled 'Vehicle-mounted Toilet and Vehicle' (Authorization Announcement No. CN224104011U). The vehicle-mounted toilet adopts a slide rail design, typically hidden beneath the driver and passenger seats, and can be pulled out with a single button when in use. It is equipped with a 5L sealed waste collection tank, a negative pressure odor removal system, constant temperature heating function, disposable toilet bags, and a foldable privacy curtain. The original intention of this design is to solve the toilet dilemma during long-distance travel in new energy vehicles. However, due to the private and special nature of using the toilet inside the vehicle, it has sparked controversy regarding psychological acceptance.
The SINOTRUK Howo logistical support mobile toilet vehicle uses a 4*2 National VI chassis with an engine power of 257kw. The vehicle compartment meets the restroom needs of 8 people, with separate areas for men and women. It is equipped with 6 vacuum suction-type squat toilets, 2 sit-down toilets, 3 urinals, 2 sets of sinks, and other facilities, as well as air conditioning, ventilation fans, and independent lighting. However, it is a specialized vehicle, not an ordinary civilian car, primarily used in specific logistical support scenarios such as large events and field operations, providing comprehensive toilet and hygiene support for multiple people.
