DUBBED as ‘can-in-a-van’, fleet management company Masterlease has enhanced its LCV offering, meaning vans can now be ordered with built-in toilets.

Aimed at utility companies and railway teams, the company said the move will come as a relief to workers who frequently need to carry out work off-site and miles from the nearest facilities.

Head of commercial vehicles Eddie Parker said: ‘Disappearing behind a bush when nature calls is far from ideal and certainly less than satisfactory for female workers.

It can be expensive and impractical to install a mobile toilet, particularly if a job is expected to last less than a day.

‘We are calling this our van of the future – where firms can lease a van, fully fitted with whatever they need, even if it’s a toilet.’
