  abstract: In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, fire safety remains a critical concern. From the era of steam-powered vehicles to today⁰́₉s cutting-edge electric and hybrid models, understanding the risks and preventive measures for automotive fires is essential for protecting lives and assets. In Fires in Conventional and Electrified Vehicles, Erbis Biscarri, a seasoned expert with extensive experience in both automotive equipment manufacturing and major car manufacturers, presents a definitive guide on the subject. This book provides a thorough exploration of the physical phenomena leading to vehicle fires, offering in-depth analysis methods and prevention strategies tailored to both traditional internal combustion engines and the latest hybrid and electric vehicles. Organized into three key sections⁰́₄Theory, Prevention, and Analysis⁰́₄the book delves into the fundamental concepts of fire initiation, sustenance, and propagation, covering a wide range of vehicle systems. It examines safety risks and effective prevention strategies using industry best practices and advanced technologies. Additionally, the analysis section provides real-world case studies and expert insights into investigating and understanding automotive fires. Whether you're an automotive engineer, fire safety professional, forensic consultant, or fleet manager, Biscarri's comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource. Equip yourself with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of automotive fire safety and contribute to a safer, more resilient automotive industry. ⁰́₋This book will be a valuable resource for experts in vehicle fire analysis.⁰́₊ Aubert George, Expert in vehicle fire analysis and prevention, France.
