The use of electric cars is rapidly increasing. But with the transition to electric transportation comes a new challenge: Vehicles with lithium-ion batteries can be especially dangerous when they catch fire.

The request for solutions to handle these challenges in the maritime markets has also increased during the last few months. Hence, VIKING has teamed up with global players to help their customers with the challenges that might occur.

The Bridgehill car fire blanket can be used to cover a burning vehicle. The blanket will immediately isolate flames and fumes, and the fire will soon extinguish due to lack of oxygen.
