Hazardex Live 2024 Speaker - DNV - Fire risk management in electrification of transport
A Hazardex Live 2024, Team Leader of the Risk Management Consulting (RMC) team in DNV Energy Systems, Jasjeet Singh, will examine the main challenges in current fire risk management provisions in the road transport sector and summarise current global initiatives to overcome these.
Although it is well established that battery electric vehicles are no more likely to cause a vehicle fire when compared to ICE vehicles, the type and intensity of these fires do pose a significant challenge. The current fire risk management infrastructure requires modernisation to enable effective fire safety risks surrounding electric transport.
This presentation will examine the main challenges in current fire risk management provisions in the road transport sector and summarise current global initiatives to overcome these. The presentation will also attempt to dispel common myths on fire risk from electric vehicles.
