Fogmaker International AB Enters new Cooperation with MAN Truck and Bus to Protect Lives and Vehicles
Fogmaker International AB is pleased to announce a new cooperation with MAN, integrating Fogmaker’s automatic fire protection system into the bus manufacturing process.
The system works with high-pressure water-based mist and is designed to detect and suppress fires rapidly, protecting the lives of driver and passengers as well as minimizing damage and downtime. MAN produces 5000-6000 buses per year, and this new collaboration reflects a shared commitment to safety, reliability, and long-term protection of end customers’ investments. In addition, this will of course mean an appreciated volume increase for the production site in Växjö, Sweden.
In Europe, the UNECE R107 regulation governs fire suppression systems in buses and coaches. The Fogmaker system is both R107 approved and IATF certified, which means the entire design and production process meets automotive-industry quality requirements.
“We are delighted to start this collaboration with MAN. As one of the largest manufacturers, it is really strengthening our footprint in the European bus manufacturing market. Fogmaker has invested in being a reliable automotive supplier and it is encouraging that this is recognized in the market.“ Says Johan Bjerstedt, Sales and Marketing Manager at Fogmaker International.
Johan Stark, Key Account Manager, fills in, “We have been working on this project together for quite some time, and we are very excited that we soon will start delivering to the production sites. We feel proud that the MAN vehicles leave the factory equipped with top-of-the-line fire protection.”
With partners in more than 60 countries, several subsidiaries, and close to 400,000 systems installed, Fogmaker is a leader in fire suppression systems for vehicles, machines, and enclosed spaces.
