Global manufacture & distribution of AutoFireX® Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems for Public Transport in the UK & worldwide, including Railways, Trains & Buses.
Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems
Fire Protection Systems for Public Transport
Using Fire Detection Tube with Dry Chemical Powder/Dual Agents or Clean Agents, our AutoFireX® ILP (Indirect Low Pressure) Systems are engineered to provide Fire Suppression for fully enclosed or open applications in Public Transport, Mass Transit Systems, Buses, Trains, and Metro Rail Stations.
Designed for open or semi-enclosed applications in Trains & Metro Rail Stations, our AutoFireX® DLP (Direct Low Pressure) Systems combine pneumatic Fire Detection Tubing with Clean Agents to deliver Fire Suppression for electrical cabinets, signalling panels & equipment, open server racks, cable trays, and cable runs.
Fire Suppression Systems for Trains & Metro Rail Stations
Trains and Metro Rail Stations are high-occupancy infrastructures where fire safety is critical to life protection, asset preservation, and transport operations. These environments combine high-density passenger areas, platforms, tracks, electrical systems, retail spaces, tunnels, and ventilation networks – each presenting unique fire risks, including electrical arcing, cable overheating, limited ventilation, smoke propagation, and combustible materials.
A robust fire protection strategy integrates detection, suppression, smoke management, evacuation systems, and operational protocols, complying with NFPA 2001, EN 45545, BS 5839, and local standards.
Compliant with NFPA 75, our Automatic Vehicle Fire Detection and Suppression Systems deliver rapid, localised, reliable suppression through heat absorption or chemical interruption. They are electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and safe for occupied spaces. We offer rack-level suppression for fires at the point of origin and total flooding systems for protecting enclosed equipment. Extinguishing fires within seconds, this dual-layer approach reduces equipment damage, downtime, and sprinkler activation, and prevents fire propagation.
Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems for Buses & Mass Transit Systems
Diesel, hybrid, and electric buses alike operate in high-risk environments where passenger density, confined spaces, and continuous duty cycles increase fire risks. Thermal events escalate rapidly, threatening safety and disrupting operations. Global standards increasingly mandate certified Fire Detection and Suppression System Installations in engine compartments, battery enclosures, and equipment bays.
Key risks include engine fires from turbochargers or exhaust manifolds, fuel leaks, electrical faults, and accumulated debris. These dynamic, high-airflow, and vibration-intensive environments demand reliable detection and suppression.
Hybrid and electric drivetrains introduce new hazards: power electronics overheating; lithium-ion battery thermal runway, which is self-propagating and can re-ignite; high-voltage faults; and converter failures. HVAC units, alternators, and braking systems create ignition points through heat and friction.
Our Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems withstand high vibration, temperature extremes, chemical exposure, and thermal cycling. Features include automatic detection and discharge, manual release, smoke detector activation, and pressure switches for alarm or power-shutdown integration.
