Japan's best-known toilet maker on Wednesday unveiled a "poop-powered" motorcycle that can travel as far as 180 miles on a tank filled with animal waste.
?
Billed as the world's first waste-powered vehicle, the three-wheeler has a toilet in place of a regular seat and huge paper roll at the back.
?
But as a young female model climbed aboard for a test drive Wednesday, toilet giant TOTO was quick to point out that she would not supply the "gas."
?
"The biogas it uses as fuel is not made from human waste. It's made from livestock waste and sewage," Kenji Fujita, a company spokesman, told reporters in a Tokyo suburb.
?
"We hope to raise awareness among customers about our green campaign through development of environmentally-friendly products such as water-saving showerheads and water-saving toilets," Fujita added.
?
The company ? which makes toilets equipped with an array of features including heated seats, water jets with pressure and temperature controls, and ambient background music ? has no plans to commercialize the motorcycle.
