A vehicle-mounted mobile toilet in the Xihu district of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has been built to meet the special needs of athletes at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Paralympic Games, set for Oct 9 to 15.

The facilities are air-conditioned, with armrests and USB charging ports. There are four independent toilets, plus a larger one for maternity use, and one for males — all together enough for six people at a time.

A folding countertop for diaper changing and handrails for people with disabilities are available in the largest unit. An electric wheelchair lift is attached to one side of the vehicle.

Unlike conventional mobile public toilets, the new vehicle can be operated by a single driver. After licensing, it will provide services around the Huanglong Sports Center in Xihu district during the Games.
