Renault gave proprietary tech to stop fire fires

Renault has dragged a tech of Volvo strength and licensing in other parts of the industry free. Ages ago, the Sweden are famous to create three pointed seatbelt And, instead of licensing it to every other automaker for a big fat fee, they give it free by name safely. Renault Taking a similar honorable path with the “Fireman Access system”, which helps firefighters firing batteries.

Battery fires in the EV are irritating. Studies show That evs do not attract frequent cars Battery fires Due to thermal runaway burned hotter and does not require oxygen, which makes them less difficult to reject. It just doesn’t take tons of water and lots of time to get a battery fire but the fire can restart oneself, even at times after it turns off. Some fire departments restore the flowing rumps of rubbish-filled with water and keep them there for many days that sometimes they stay.

However Renault’s patent system is as simple as it can get: An addive disk contains a hole in the battery pack. The disk is intended to be weak enough to break down under pressure of a firehose and allow flood firefighters in the water battery compartment.

According to the Renault, using this procedure allows EV fires to be easily placed in a few minutes, instead of hours. As a result, Renault says this method uses 10 times less water.

“The development of safety of road safety is about who we are in Renenault. We are proud to have been developing a firefighter in recent years as a practicality of the male and female CEOs in a press release.” Now, I’m happy to be It may be innovative available, because when part of a subject is like safety, we need to destroy all obstacles. This step is also maintaining the commitment made by United Nations, to make the world work safely. “

All current Renault, Alpine, and even Dacia EVs and plug-in hybrids have fireman access ports. And perhaps in the future, all Sevs and Hybrids have such a system, because Renault wants to have no “thanks” and a fresh five instead of patent. May not seem to be affected as the three targeted seatbelt but at any time an automation makes something for the benefit of profits, they have a double thumb from me.
