We will be exhibiting at the "Kyushu Innovation WEEK" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A. This exhibition is one of the largest comprehensive business exhibitions in Kyushu, gathering innovative solutions that advance society, such as "DX," "disaster prevention and response," "solving municipal issues," and "GX and promoting decarbonization." It brings together municipalities, companies, and educational institutions to provide hints for problem-solving and opportunities for creating new businesses. The multifunctional vehicle Sakura and the newly developed mini toilet vehicle Refure mini will be displayed in the "Disaster Prevention and Response EXPO" corner of the exhibition. Please come and see the actual vehicles at the venue.

The unveiling event for the "Multi-Function Vehicle Sakura," introduced to the Toyota City Fire Department, was held on March 5, 2026, at the Yahagigawa Toyota Disaster Prevention Station. Originally developed for female engineers working at construction sites, this is the first time it has been introduced by a municipality in Japan. In this newsletter, we have compactly summarized: - Highlights from the unveiling event - Comments from everyone - Comparison points with other products Please download and view the document from the "Related Materials" below!

We exhibited the multifunctional vehicle Sakura at the "Disaster Prevention Industry Exhibition 2026" held from January 28 to 30. At the venue, many products related to mobile toilets were introduced, including the ND Lease System's "Toilet Car NEO" and the Trailer House Development's "And Compact 3.0," showcasing a variety of initiatives. Each company's toilet car and toilet trailer introduced this time has different features. In terms of indoor space, comfort, and the functionality of the toilets, there were many products that surpassed the multifunctional vehicle Sakura. Among them, what we were able to convey through this exhibition is the value of "phase-free" that the multifunctional vehicle Sakura possesses. I feel that its ability to be utilized not only during disasters but also as a public or business vehicle during normal times is a significant characteristic of Sakura. The value lies in the hands of those who will actually use it. For more details, please refer to the PDF materials and consider the best option for you.

In January 2026, we signed a "Cooperation Agreement on the Utilization of Drone Support Vehicles and Some of the World's Smallest Drones" with Toyota City. This agreement aims to conduct demonstrations in collaboration with local governments regarding inspection operations utilizing drones, verifying their effectiveness and identifying challenges. At Shinmei Industries, we have been working on the development and improvement of vehicles and equipment used in the field through our automotive business. This agreement marks a step into a new area of demonstration, building on our previous efforts. For more details, please refer to the "Related Links" below.

We would like to introduce a case study on the introduction plan of the "Multi-Functional Vehicle Sakura" in local governments. This time, we will focus on the case of Toyota City in Aichi Prefecture. Through the dispatch to the disaster area during the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in the 6th year of Reiwa, the effectiveness and necessity of toilet vehicles were reaffirmed. Starting from the 6th year of Reiwa, the decision was made to introduce three toilet vehicles, one of which is the "Multi-Functional Vehicle Sakura." We will introduce the background of the introduction and the expected effects of its implementation.

We will be exhibiting at the "Disaster Prevention Industry Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition, themed "Realizing a Resilient Society through Disaster Prevention and Mitigation," brings together the government, local authorities, and businesses to showcase the latest technologies and solutions related to disaster prevention and mitigation. Our multifunctional vehicle, Sakura, will be displayed in the special section "Disaster Response and Comfortable Toilet Exhibition in Disaster Prevention Industry Exhibition 2026." We invite you to see the actual vehicle at the venue.

Thank you for your patience! The "N-SELECT" carrier vehicle now finally has a model compatible with medium-sized trucks.

A multifunctional vehicle with a toilet that can also be used as a means of transportation The "Sakura" will continue to evolve as a multifunctional vehicle that addresses the challenges on-site.

Starting from September 22, 2025 (Monday), we will begin accepting orders for five new lineups tailored to various applications in the "N-SELECT" series of transport vehicles. In this new development, we will introduce the following five models that maintain the basic performance of the traditional N-SELECT while addressing more specialized needs: SC (Super Carrier) - Based on the traditional N-SELECT, this model is specialized for transporting immobile and accident vehicles. It is ideal for the automotive maintenance and towing industry. RC (Racing Carrier) - Designed with a gentle loading and unloading angle, this model is perfect for transporting sports cars and lowered vehicles. TP (Transporter) - A standard model optimized for the transportation of general passenger vehicles, suitable for a wide range of industries.

With these lineups, N-SELECT evolves into a product group that meets a wider variety of on-site needs. We will continue to promote product development that reflects the voices from the field as the "preferred transport vehicle."
