Clesana in Japan: New standards for mobile hygiene and disaster protection

The Clesana C1 is installed in the MARU MOBI of our Japanese partner ToyFactory, which was awarded the “Smart award for disaster protection”, and shows the positive impact of our sealing toilet in emergency situations.

Japan is known for its high level of innovation and its pioneering technologies – we are all the more pleased that our welded toilet Clesana C1 has been met with such a positive response there. Together with our partner Toy Factory, one of the leading specialists for vehicle conversions on site, we were able to show at the Disaster Protection Fair and the Japan Camping Car Show how our toilet solution can provide valuable services in both the leisure sector and in disaster protection.

Together with ToyFactory for a sustainable future

ToyFactory develops state-of-the-art vehicle conversions, including their conversion called MARU MOBI. This vehicle, based on the Toyota Hiace, was designed as a flexible solution for use in disaster areas. Thanks to its modular equipment, it can be used as a mobile toilet, office, first aid station or people transporter. We are particularly proud that our Clesana C1 can be used in “toilet” mode, thus enabling maximum independence and hygiene in challenging situations.

MARU MOBI wins an award

At the 2025 Disaster Management Fair, the MARU MOBI from Toy Factory was even awarded with the “Smartest Award”.
This prestigious award recognizes concepts that offer sustainable and resilient solutions for disaster protection. The fact that the Clesana C1 is part of this exemplary vehicle confirms once again the added value of our technology in emergency situations and beyond.

Successful missions in the earthquake area

The fact that the MARU MOBI concept works has already been proven in practice: The vehicle has been successfully used in earthquake areas in Japan to provide people in need with a safe and hygienic environment. The fact that the Clesana toilet does not require water or chemicals makes it the perfect addition to mobile disaster relief.

How Clesana is breaking new ground

ur trip to Japan has shown us impressively how versatile and important mobile hygiene solutions can be – not only in classic caravanning, but especially in challenging situations such as natural disasters. The successful use of our welded toilet in the MARU MOBI in earthquake areas has once again shown the decisive added value that the combination of sophisticated vehicle technology and innovative sanitation offers people in need. The award of the “Smartest Award” to the MARU MOBI also underlines that modern solutions are not just about functionality, but also about foresight.

Whether in recreational vehicles, during relief operations or in emergency situations – hygiene and maximum safety should not be a question, but a matter of course.
