All electric vehicles must conform to UNECE-R100 in order to obtain type approval, but it turns out that this global regulation, aimed at protecting drivers and passengers in EVs first and foremost, is just the tip of the iceberg. In a workshop presented by Marc Ehlers, CESC for Fuso Europe, the main message was all about the appropriate training being made available for all who may need it. Internally, there is one basic rule in place across all Daimler electric trucks and buses when it comes to high voltage safety (and this includes the Fuso brand that it markets in Europe). This dictates that no one may work on these vehicles without first undertaking the relevant Daimler-provided qualification. Further to that, anyone coming into contact with a high voltage (HV) vehicle on a regular basis must also be qualified as dictated by Daimler's HV safety organisation pyramid (see diagram) - right down to the person who comes in to wash the trucks down at weekends. |
