The latent danger of electric vehicles: Take the necessary precautions
A latent issue with electric alternatives is how highly flammable the batteries are. While critical malfunctions don’t happen often, they are devastating when they occur, since a battery on fire can reach up to 2000°C and can take hours to extinguish.
A reliable monitoring system will ensure the safety of your vehicles and their surroundings.
Detect critical errors in the making by positioning an infrared camera, such as our ThermoView model, where it has direct view of all three batteries in an electric bus. If you choose to pair this camera with our SelVision Systems you will also receive precise alerts in case of unusual temperature spikes, allowing you to calculate risk, assess and plan maintenance accordingly.
