FAQ

Lithium fire safety in the automotive sector

Frequently asked questions about fire safety in electric and hybrid vehicles, and how LOXXER addresses this.

The LOXXER lithium fire kit is intended for first intervention by trained workshop or dealer personnel. The kit includes a containment bag with flame protector, a fire extinguisher, and gloves. The E-Powershield construction is resistant up to 1,100 °C. The kit is available in Medium and XL and is suitable as a supplement to the broader fire safety equipment in the workplace.

For the storage of larger quantities of lithium-ion batteries or vehicles with damaged batteries, guidelines such as PGS 37 apply. LOXXER containers for battery storage have been developed in accordance with the PGS 37 guideline. We always advise consulting the local fire department or a certified safety advisor for the specific situation at your location.

A fire suppression blanket does not fully extinguish the fire, but it limits the spread of flames and significantly slows down thermal runaway. This gives bystanders the chance to evacuate and emergency services the time to arrive on site with specialized equipment. For definitive extinguishing and cooling, inundation via a submersion container is generally necessary.

For a fully electric vehicle, the fire suppression blanket of 5 x 6 m is the recommended choice. This blanket can withstand temperatures up to 1,750 °C, does not produce harmful fumes, and limits flame spread. The blanket completely covers the vehicle, providing time for further intervention or waiting for specialized emergency services.

A submersion container allows an electric or hybrid vehicle to be fully submerged in water. This is the most effective way to manage a lithium-ion fire in a vehicle and prevent re-ignition. The LOXXER submersion container has a volume of 20 m³ (6,000 x 2,300 x 1,500 mm), is equipped with tie-down eyes for securing the vehicle, and can be fitted with a cover tarp, connections for extinguishing and cooling systems, and signaling.
