		 			****TOKYO: **Japan’s  best-known toilet maker on Wednesday unveiled a “poop-powered”  motorcycle that can travel as far as 300km 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 commercialise the motorcycle.

Why use animal waste when you can just sit on the seat, do your thing ahem and drive at the same time?

I don't think this news is meant to be taken seriously though. LOL

They were jealous of clean water based cars in Pakistan.

“Eat more beans”… should be the slogan for their commercial.
