A Push-Button Emergency Mobile Home

Japanese firm Daiwa Lease has created a mobile home that can spring into shape with just the push of a button. Intended for a post-disaster scenario, the EDV-01, as its called, is not very big dimensionally but can host at least a few people and features essential amenities like beds, a kitchen and a bathroom. It is also equipped with solar panels, fuel cells and batteries to avoid relying on the conventional electricity grid, while satellite connectivity takes care of communication in the absence of phone networks.

Here’s a special 7-minute movie made on this mobile home:
