Japan’s largest toilet manufacturer Toto has taken a gander into automobiles with this super weird poop powered tricycle. No we aren’t judging it because it is poop powered, this thing is weird because the saddle is a fully functional toilet.
The bright idea and logic behind the design is rather simple, as the person drives they may decide to take a dump, which will then be converted into fuel for the car. Theoretically speaking, you could travel the world simply by dropping turds into the fuel tank. Practically speaking, the Toilet Bike Neo is so weird that the mythical poop monsters would turn real and charge at anyone driving one of these things.
Thankfully though, Toto has no intention of producing these tricycles; so we won’t see the guy next to us in traffic pooping while waiting for the light to turn green. People on the road from Kyushu to Tokyo on the other hand, might get to see the poop powered vehicle in action as it makes its maiden (and only) journey. Some poor schmuck will drive the vehicle, with the added humiliation of having a poop-like protrusion at the top of the helmet
The monstrosity is just a demonstration of the company’s desire to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Toto plans to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% over the next 6 years.
