Product catalog summary
Introduction
Dafo has been a leader in fire protection technology for over a century, pioneering integrated firefighting solutions for vehicles. This document outlines Dafo's advanced fire suppression systems specifically designed for buses and coaches.

Fire Suppression Systems for Buses
Most bus fires start in the engine compartment. Dafo offers three advanced fire suppression systems that are reliable and minimize false alarms. These systems do not rely on pressurized agent containers, enhancing their reliability.

Global Reliability and Standards
With over 165,000 systems sold globally, Dafo's solutions are trusted worldwide. They are rigorously tested for performance and environmental durability, meeting international standards such as UNECE Regulation No. 107 and the Australian Standard AS 5062:2016.

Multi-Zone Fire Protection for EV and HEV
Dafo has developed a comprehensive fire protection solution for electric and hybrid vehicles, using the Forrex EVO™ suppression agent. The system divides vehicles into four protection zones, each with tailored detection and suppression methods.
  • Zone 1: Engine Compartment - Uses liquid-based FORREX agent for robust detection and suppression.
  • Zone 2: Electrical Hazards - Employs heat or smoke detection with clean extinguishment using agent gas FK-51-2-12.
  • Zone 3: Traditional Hazards - Addresses risks from heaters, AC units, and hydraulic systems with liquid-based FORREX agent.
  • Zone 4: Batteries - Protects battery packs with high-sensitive gas detection and increased liquid agent for cooling.


DafoCLOUD
DafoCLOUD is a cloud-based system providing comprehensive lifecycle management of Fire Detection and Suppression Systems (FDSS). It offers detailed access to manufacturing, installation, and maintenance data, helping reduce total ownership costs while maximizing safety.

Business Areas
Dafo Vehicle operates in three main areas: Integration, Retrofit, and Service & Maintenance, supported by a global network of subsidiaries and distributors.

Conclusion
Dafo Vehicle is committed to providing the most effective fire protection solutions, enhancing safety, reducing downtime, and increasing productivity. For more information, contact Dafo Vehicle.
