[New Newsletter] Newsletter Moditech Janaury 2010 | Vehicle rescue training with the Crash Recovery System

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:45:00

The Moditech Crash Recovery System (CRS) is a valuable tool for rescuers to extricate victims from crashed vehicles. Because the often lack of late-model vehicles to train on, it is not always possible to practise 'live' with the CRS. Moditech addressed this issue last year by introducing the Crash Recovery System magnetic label set. This range of accessories is now extended by introducing a new re-writeable license plate magnet set. Furthermore the Moditech website has been updated with an article about training ideas.

Read more about the new magnet set and our training ideas in this newsletter!

In 2014 all new vehicles must be equipped with e-Call: a black box in the vehicle that automatically connects with the emergency alarm center after a crash. During this process, important information about the location , speed and drive direction is transmitted directly to the alarm center. Also, information about deployed airbags and number of occupants is included. Since the initiative in 2005, Moditech is an active member of the European board that is responsible for the e-Call developments in Europe.

Moditech Rescue Solutions is continuously monitoring the automotive market for new developments that could affect emergency response to vehicle accidents or car fires.
Alternative fuels and alternative propulsion are among the biggest challenges responders will be facing in the near future.
The Crash Recovery System is already prepared to show vehicles with alternative propulsion and therefore the decision was made to introduce the first two hydrogen-powered vehicles to the CRS database, well knowing that these vehicles are not really produced in series.

Rescue services often complain that practical training with new car technology is difficult to implement during sessions. The reasons for this are clear: even if a new car model is available, the costs for getting it may be very high. Getting to know new developments in new vehicle safety technology is therefore often limited to special occasions like the Rescue Days or events.

Dear Moditech customer,

Welcome to our newsletter of February 2008. In this newsletter we would like to inform you about the latest developments and product improvements at Moditech. The first topic in this issue is the development of a completely new Right Hand Drive (RHD) database with license code selection for the Crash Recovery System users in the UK. We have started the development of the RHD database for passenger vehicles and vans this month upon numerous requests from customers and interested parties in the UK. This addition to the Crash Recovery System database will ensure that we have the best safety information available for the Rescue Services in the UK. On top of that, selection of the correct vehicle model will become error-free, quick and easy via the license plate number of the vehicle! The second topic in our newsletter is the release of the VIN edition for North-America. With this edition of the Crash Recovery System, the Rescue Workers are able to enter or scan the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the crashed vehicle. This makes selection of the correct model and year extremely simple and error-free. Read on to learn more about both subjects in this newsletter!

Enjoy reading!
