Fireman Access
Even tough high-voltage batteries are designed not to cause fires, either in normal use or in the event of an accident, a fire due to external causes can spread to the battery. In such cases, this safety system, developed in collaboration with the fire department, enables them to extinguish the fire quickly by filling the battery with water.
The Fireman Access allows battery fires to be extinguished in less than 10 minutes, compared to an average of 4 hours for other manufacturers. This saves approximately 42,000 liters of water per intervention and, most importantly, crucial time for emergency responders.
