Fire Protection for Night Trains
Sustainable Solutions for Sustainable Mobility
100% of newly built sleeping cars will be equipped with fire protection systems.
Sleeper cars are currently experiencing a revival after years of being progressively reduced. The goal of making cities across Europe accessible overnight and thus achieving cross-national approvals also presents special challenges for the fire protection systems to be integrated. Europe’s largest night train projects, sleeper cars in India and the USA – FOGTEC fire protection systems can be found everywhere for these applications. From an economically viable and approval-compliant solution for fire detection to reliably triggered fire suppression, all of this can be found in FOGTEC’s references, right up to comprehensive verification of a Safety Integrity Level 2 for the entire system.
