The advantages of the E-CarTrainer
Heat that works
The E-CarTrainer simulates the controlled heating of a battery pack, as can occur with defective lithium-ion batteries. The heat generated provides ideal conditions for using thermal imaging cameras in the field.
Training focuses on the early detection of thermal changes, the safe assessment of potential hazards, and the targeted initiation of measures – practical, repeatable, and completely risk-free.
Smoke as in a real emergency.
Deliberately generated smoke around the simulated battery block realistically restricts visibility and makes it difficult to assess the situation – just like in a real fire. The smoke effect challenges emergency responders to operate under stress, heat, and limited visibility.
This allows orientation, team communication and decision-making behavior to be trained under real conditions – intensively, practically and safely.
Fire under control
The controlled ignition of the cells within the simulator replicates the dynamics of a real battery fire. Emergency responders train in the tactically correct procedures for localized fires in electric vehicles – including the selection of appropriate extinguishing tactics, nozzle deployment, and positioning.
This allows typical operational errors to be avoided and enables targeted improvement of safe handling under high-voltage conditions.
Full escalation – controlled
The dreaded domino effect of damaged lithium-ion cells – the so-called "thermal runaway" – is impressively simulated in the E-CarTrainer. The exercise demonstrates how a local defect can spread to the entire battery system within seconds.
Emergency responders learn to recognize critical escalations early, assess risks, and take the right actions under time pressure. This deepens their understanding of the dynamics of battery fires and strengthens their tactical response in real-life situations.
