In collaboration with RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden), the Swedish Club invites you to join our webinar with the topic: “Fire! Electric vehicles on board – should we be worried?”

As the demand for electric vehicles grows, questions are being asked about fire safety during transportation – in particular on board ships where vehicles are tightly loaded, large values are at stake, and a safe haven might be far away. In this webinar, Franz Evegren from RISE, the Research Institutes of Sweden, shares the latest research on fire safety for ro-ro ships carrying electric vehicles. He identifies the major hazards of electric vehicle fires, how to deal with them and how to tell fact from fiction when considering the risks.

The advice is based on many years of research in projects like BREND, E-TOX, LASH FIRE and a decade of battery fire testing.

The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.

Date: Wednesday, 26 April 2023
Time: 10.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. CEST

Please register here by Tuesday, 25 April at the very latest.
