A subsidiary of SoftBank Group has unveiled a mobile PCR testing center that it says can handle around 370 tests a day.
The 3-ton truck has a ventilation system with filters that prevent the virus escaping. It will be staffed by two people, and results can be ready in two-and-a-half hours at the fastest.
The company says it will offer the service at schools initially, then expand to serve large event venues and remote areas that lack testing facilities.
The move comes as the government is considering relaxing restrictions on where mobile testing units can operate.
