Database update January 2021

The January update of this new year offers a number of new additions to our Crash Recovery System.


PASSENGER CARS
In our database for passenger cars we added, the Audi A3 TFSI e and the Q5 Sportsback.

Also the A3 TFSI 3 is included. The BMW 8-series, the Ford Mustang Mach E, the new Hyundai i30 and the Mercedes GLC Hybrid Plus and Plug in Hybrid are also included.

From the VW Group, we added the Seat Leon and the Leon Plug-in Hybrid. The Skoda Octavia PHEV, IV and IV PHEV. The VW GolfVIII, the Caddy L1 and L2 the T3 and the VW VIII GTE.

We have also added a Volkswagen T3 of Schilder Electric. This company converts old-timers to electric vehicles. The engine is removed during this process and replaced with a package of high voltage batteries and components. The challenge for first responders is the recognition of these aftermarket converts vehicles.

At this vehicle, the number plate can be used to select this correct model!

The Suzuki Across PHEV SUV is added and the Swace Hybrid and of course the new Toyota Mirai and RAV4 PHEV.


HOLTHAUSEN

From the company Holthausen we added the VW e-Crafter and Transporter.

The Volkswagen Holthausen e-Crafter that has been converted to a hydrogen van and contains a large H2 tank in the back of the van. The same applies to the transporter that Holthausen transformed, but instead of one tank, this vehicle contains two tanks located in the middle of the van. The biggest point of interest is the location of the high voltage components, the cabling and vent line routing. The potential risk when the battery pack leaks due to an accident is a thermal runaway! First responders should always check the development of the battery temperature during extrication.


BUSES & TRUCKS
The eBusco 2.2 Frankfurt and the Setra are added to the Crash Recovery System.

Make sure you are up-to-date and install this update via the update management in the settings of your Crash Recovery System.
