The AVD 25L Lithium-Ion Fire Extinguisher Trolley is engineered to address lithium-ion battery fire risk within airport and aviation environments, where electrification of ground support equipment (eGSE), electric vehicles (EVs), and charging infrastructure is rapidly increasing. These risks are characterised by thermal runaway, a self-sustaining reaction that traditional fire extinguishers cannot effectively control.
This solution utilises Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) technology, which applies a fine mist containing exfoliated vermiculite platelets. Upon contact, the agent rapidly cools the battery cells while forming a cohesive, heat-resistant barrier that prevents oxygen ingress. This dual-action mechanism suppresses flames, inhibits propagation between cells, and significantly reduces the likelihood of re-ignition.
Designed specifically for airport vehicle fleets operating on the apron and ground support vehicles, the system enables immediate, controlled intervention at the point of risk. It supports airport fire strategies by reducing incident escalation, protecting critical infrastructure, and maintaining operational continuity.
In addition to suppression capability, the product integrates seamlessly into airport safety protocols, supporting compliance, risk mitigation, and insurance requirements. As lithium-ion battery adoption accelerates across aviation, this solution represents a category-defining advancement in fire safety, positioning operators ahead of emerging regulatory and operational challenges.
