Vehicle Engine Fire Suppression System
Fire Engineering Technology is a leading Indian manufacturer and supplier of Vehicle Engine Fire Suppression Systems designed for buses, mining vehicles, heavy equipment, trucks, forklifts, cranes, and defense vehicles. Our automatic vehicle fire suppression systems use clean agent, dry chemical, CO₂, and tube-based detection to protect vehicle engines from fire hazards and equipment loss.
The vehicle engine fire suppression system provides instant fire detection and extinguishing in the engine compartment, preventing fuel and electrical fires before they spread. Built for reliability and rugged performance, these systems ensure 24x7 automatic fire protection even under extreme operating conditions.
Our systems are pre-engineered, compact, and maintenance-free, featuring a flexible polymer heat-sensing tube that bursts at 110°C–150°C, releasing a clean agent (Novec 1230 / FM-200) or dry chemical powder directly onto the fire source. The result is fast suppression, zero residue, and maximum vehicle uptime.
Fire Engineering Technology’s vehicle fire protection systems are NFPA 17, NFPA 2001, and AIS-135 compliant, designed for public transport, mining trucks, material handling equipment, and defense vehicles. Whether for bus engine fire suppression systems or mining equipment fire suppression, we provide customized and certified solutions trusted across India and abroad.

Vehicle Engine Fire Suppression System – FAQ by Fire Engineering Technology
1. What is a Vehicle Engine Fire Suppression System?
A vehicle engine fire suppression system is an automatic fire detection and extinguishing system designed to protect engine compartments, hydraulic lines, and fuel systems of vehicles from fire. It quickly detects heat or flames and releases a clean agent, CO₂, or dry chemical to extinguish the fire before it spreads.
2. Why is a fire suppression system important in vehicles?
Vehicle fires can occur due to oil leaks, fuel spills, electrical faults, or overheating. Installing a vehicle engine fire suppression system ensures passenger safety, equipment protection, and reduced downtime. It also helps meet safety and insurance compliance for commercial and industrial fleets.
3. How does an automatic vehicle fire suppression system work?
The system uses a flexible polymer heat-sensing tube routed around fire-prone areas. When the tube detects high heat (typically 110°C–150°C), it bursts and releases the extinguishing agent — directly onto the fire source. The discharge is automatic, quick, and power-free.
4. Which types of vehicles can be protected?
Fire Engineering Technology provides pre-engineered fire suppression systems suitable for:
-
Buses and passenger vehicles
-
Mining and construction equipment
-
Forklifts, cranes, and excavators
-
Defense and military vehicles
-
Airport and rescue trucks
5. What fire suppression agents are used in vehicle systems?
Depending on the application, systems can use:
-
Clean Agents (FM-200 / Novec 1230) – for electrical and enclosed areas
-
Dry Chemical Powder – for fuel or oil-based fires
-
CO₂ Suppression – for high-risk mechanical equipment
All agents are non-conductive, efficient, and safe for engines.
6. Is the system fully automatic or manual?
Most vehicle fire suppression systems are fully automatic, operating without external power. However, manual actuation options are available for operator-initiated discharge when needed.
7. How often should the system be serviced or inspected?
It is recommended to inspect the fire suppression system every 6 months and perform a full maintenance check annually to ensure cylinder pressure, tube integrity, and nozzle alignment are optimal.
8. What standards does Fire Engineering Technology follow?
All systems are compliant with NFPA 17, 2001, and AIS-135 standards for vehicle fire protection. Our products meet international safety and quality certifications for industrial and commercial vehicles.
9. Does the system affect engine performance?
No. The system is compact, lightweight, and non-intrusive. It operates only during a fire and does not interfere with engine performance or airflow.
10. Why choose Fire Engineering Technology for vehicle fire suppression?
Because Fire Engineering Technology is a trusted Indian manufacturer offering custom-engineered, NFPA-certified automatic fire suppression systems. Our systems are designed for bus fleets, mining equipment, and heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring maximum reliability, fast response, and long service life.
We provide design, supply, installation, and AMC services across India — protecting thousands of vehicles from fire hazards.
