Protecting Passengers, Fleets and Reputations

We design, install and maintain special hazard fire suppression systems for transport and heavy vehicles, where confined spaces, fuel and electrical systems increase fire risk.

Our pre-engineered vehicle systems use Dry Chemical Powder, Foam, or Watermist agents – selected for their fast knockdown capability and suitability for engine bays and hydraulic compartments. These systems detect and suppress fires automatically, minimising damage, protecting high-value assets, and keeping vehicles operational for longer.

All installations comply with AS5062 for mobile equipment fire protection, with ongoing maintenance carried out in line with AS1851 by FPAS-accredited and EAHL-licensed technicians.

Transport operators can’t afford downtime or uncertainty. The right suppression system gives them both safety and confidence on the road.

Compact, Proven Systems for Vehicles

FPT NSW specifies pre-engineered fire suppression systems built for the demands of transport. Compact and reliable, these systems detect and extinguish engine or electrical fires in seconds, eliminating the delays associated with manual intervention.

Using trusted agents such as CO₂, FM-200 and Novec 1230, our systems minimise damage, protect high-value assets and keep vehicles operational. Safety and practicality are always the priority for operators.

Compliance and Lifecycle Assurance

A fire system is only as reliable as its upkeep. We manage full lifecycle servicing under AS1851 – from annual checks to ten-year pressure testing, so every system stays compliant and ready, without the paperwork headaches.

Independent of suppliers, FPT NSW ensures transport operators across NSW get the right system for their fleet, backed by trusted local expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact our expert team today to discuss your fire protection needs and find the right solution for your site.
What is a vehicle or transport fire suppression system and how does it work
A transport suppression system detects and suppresses fires automatically in vehicles. Heat sensors or detection lines monitor high-risk areas, such as engine bays, and release agents on detection.
Why install transport fire suppression on fleet vehicles in Sydney and Newcastle
These systems control engine and brake fires early, reducing losses and downtime, and helping fleets in Sydney, Newcastle, and across NSW meet safety and insurance requirements.
Are vehicle fire suppression systems mandatory in NSW or industry required
They are required or strongly expected in many high-risk operations. NSW government contract buses use engine bay suppression, and many sites mandate AS5062 compliance.
How often should vehicle fire suppression systems be serviced in NSW
Best practice aligns with AS1851, with six-monthly servicing. FPT NSW schedules and documents these services with FPAS-accredited technicians and EAHL-licensed personnel when agent work is performed.

Buses, coaches, fuel tankers, freight trucks, mining and quarry equipment, agricultural machines and waste vehicles across NSW benefit from automatic suppression.
