Two weeks ago, representatives of Cold Cut Systems were invited to Skoda Auto in the Czech Republic, where we had the opportunity to witness tests and training with Cobra on EVs.
The tactics used in the interventions were as described in the Euro NCAP rescue data sheet for the Skoda Enyaq iV: “In the event of a fire in the high-voltage battery, extinguish it with water and continue to cool it, with as much water as possible entering the high-voltage battery.” The method described in the NCAP rescue data sheet is aligned with the applied Cobra tactics for EV. As the fire service managed to stop thermal runaway and propagation in five separate interventions, it validates the Cobra tactics on EVs with expected results.
