Safety and security

Dafo Vehicle delivers reliable and effective fire suppression systems for buses, designed to ensure safe passenger evacuation, high vehicle uptime, and business continuity. Our solutions are based on state-of-the-art technology without vulnerable or pressurized agent tanks. To address battery-specific risks, Dafo Vehicle has developed an early warning detection solution that identifies potential battery failures at an early stage and initiates immediate cooling using the Forrex EVO™ suppression agent. With limited maintenance requirements and high system reliability, Dafo Vehicle Systems contribute to a low total cost of ownership. More than 300,000 vehicle systems delivered worldwide reflect our experience and technological leadership.

Product description

The Dafo Vehicle fire suppression system consists of four integrated elements: detection, alarm, suppression, and control, working together to suppress fires quickly and effectively. Fire detection is achieved through a linear heat detector wire with a fixed activation temperature of 180°C. When this temperature is reached, an alarm signal activates the system. The Forrex EVO liquid agent is distributed through the pipe system to the nozzles while visual and audible alarms warn the driver. The agent displaces oxygen, cools overheated components, impregnates burning material, adheres to surfaces, and prevents re-ignition. Forrex is non-corrosive and environmentally friendly. The control unit includes a real-time clock and event log, enabling access to historical data for event analysis.
