Causes of fire in maintenance vehiclesAppraisal Background

Maintenance vehicle fire cause identification is a professional technical evaluation process designed to determine the cause of a vehicle fire during maintenance. This kind of identification is of great significance in finding out who is responsible for the accident, improving maintenance safety standards, preventing future fires, and settling insurance claims.
The causes of fires in maintenance vehicles may include electrical system failures such as short circuits or damaged electrical components, mechanical failures such as engine overheating, improper maintenance operations such as the use of improper maintenance tools or methods, fuel leakage, fires from flammable materials inside the vehicle such as interior materials, external fire sources or high-temperature environmental influences, and vehicle design or manufacturing defects. These factors may act alone or together to cause fires in service vehicles.
In the case of the cause of the fire in the maintenance vehicle, Zhongke Testing can provide identification services of the cause of the fire in the maintenance vehicle.

Causes of fire in maintenance vehiclesAuthentication case

While Zhou was driving, his car broke down, so he called 4S to come over and tow it. As a result, the car spontaneously ignited and caught fire during the towing process. Although the rescue was timely and no casualties were caused, the car was basically destroyed. Zhou believed that the towing staff had improperly operated the vehicle, while the 4S store believed that there was a problem with the car itself. The matter therefore went to court.
was entrusted by the court to conduct an identification and analysis of the cause of the fire in the maintenance vehicle involved in the case.
identification and analysis results: The
identification and analysis expert team judged from the burnt traces of the accident vehicle and ruled out the possibility of spontaneous combustion caused by oil and gas line failures. Then they locked the fire point at the battery position and designed a plan to test it. Through inspection, it was found that there was an electrical problem with the vehicle involved, which was also the main reason for spontaneous combustion during towing.
Therefore, the vehicle involved caused a fire during towing due to electrical failure.
