Too heavy a burden? – Hybrid vehicle suddenly caught fire

Date:

On the way to the Nassfeld Pass, a 58-year-old Belgian noticed on Friday afternoon that smoke had appeared in the engine compartment of his hybrid vehicle.

With a motorcycle trailer in tow, the Belgian was driving uphill on the B90 when he noticed heavy smoke coming from the engine compartment of his hybrid vehicle. Although he parked the car immediately on the side of the road and alerted the fire brigade, the car was already fully ablaze when the emergency services arrived.

Completely burned out
“The fact that it was a hybrid vehicle made firefighting efforts more difficult,” state police headquarters said. The car completely burned out: “After the extinguishing work, the main fire station of Villach with its quarantine container for electric vehicles was requested to safely remove the vehicle,” says the FF Hermagor, which takes action together with the FF Tröpolach. Rattendorf stood.

It is currently unclear what caused the fire. Police suspect that the engine overheated due to the heavy load it was pulling. There were no injuries.
