Austroads: Transport Research and Trends

Incident Response for Low and Zero Emission Vehicles

Listen Later

As electric vehicle (EV) uptake increases across Australia and New Zealand, there are new risks and operational impacts of EV incidents, and amended incident response practices are needed.

This webinar presents the Austroads framework from the project NEG6523 on EV incident response.

Watch to gain the evidence, tools and coordination insights to support forward planning and implementation for EV incident response, to reduce risk and improve safety and network resilience, including:

  1. A clear view of how EV fires differ from combustion engine vehicle fires, including thermal runaway and hazards, including off-gassing and secondary ignition.
  2. Practical steps in a 5-stage incident response process, from planning to recovery, aligned with Austroads’ traffic incident management guidance.
  3. Lessons from international case studies showing effective on-road responses and their local relevance.
  4. 17 practical recommendations to reduce risk and improve safety and network resilience from consistent EV incident management across jurisdictions.

    5. This webinar is presented by Dr Eleanor Short, Emma Sutcliffe and Will Fooks.
