Modern vehicles present different hazards than older vehicles due to the increase in the use of combustible plastics and the presence of alternative fuel systems. 然而, the lack of data on modern vehicles makes it difficult to derive statistically relevant information about the different hazards posed by these vehicles.

In their recently published article in Fire Safety Journal, 乔纳森·霍奇斯, Urvin Salvi and Anil Kapahi take a closer look at existing data to evaluate whether current guidance is sufficient for modern vehicles. The paper presents a new approach to evaluating the fire hazards associated with larger passenger vehicles. The model points to an alarming trend in the fire protection industry, w在皇家88账户注册里 the hazard posed by single-passenger vehicles may exceed existing design guidance.
