Overview
- At a November 5 Safety Day in Madrid, Renault trained more than 200 firefighters in sessions co-organized with the regional emergency agency Madrid 112.
- Fireman Access uses a rupture disc built into the high-voltage battery to yield under high-pressure water so crews can cool cells internally, and Renault has made the patent available to other manufacturers.
- In a controlled burn of a Mégane E-Tech overseen by instructor Luis Fernández, teams showed the method can suppress a battery fire in minutes by flooding the pack.
- Renault’s QRescue places a QR code on the windshield to give crews instant vehicle schematics, with the company saying it can cut extrication time by up to 15 minutes.
- The company presented its Safety Score, Safety Coach and Safety Guardian tools as part of a broader collaboration with emergency services, while asserting it is the only carmaker working directly with responders.
