#GMVEMSC: FW: New NTSB Report Addresses EV/HEV Vehicle Crash EMS Response

 

New Report Highlights Potential Risks While Responding to Incidents Involving Electric of Hybrid Vehicles   Responders urged to review NHTSA guidance for vehicles equipped with high-voltage batteries   A new National Transportation Safety Board report offers safety recommendations for emergency response involving electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) equipped with high-voltage batteries. NTSB investigations into four electric vehicle fires identified two major safety issues: The inadequacy of vehicle manufacturers’ emergency response guides. The gaps in safety standards and research related to high-voltage lithium-ion batteries involved in high-speed, high-severity crashes. EMS, fire and law enforcement personnel are encouraged to review the report to stay up to date on the latest safety advisories for responding to vehicle crashes of this nature. In addition, NHTSA’s guidance for responding to emergency incidents involving these types of vehicles provides important information for all first responders and can be accessed on NHTSA.gov. To access the full report, read the official NTSB announcement.   Sign up to receive the latest news from the Office of EMS, including webinars, newsletters and industry updates.   Contact Us 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 nhtsa.ems@dot.gov
