Fire blankets suitable for vehicles
Our range includes fire blankets designed for extinguishing conventional, electric and hybrid vehicles. In addition to passenger cars, we also offer solutions for forklifts, electric motorcycles, scooters and bicycles. These fire blankets help you control flames, support the extinguishing process and limit the spread of fire in critical moments.
German-engineered VLITEX® fire blankets are available in several sizes and versions, so you can choose the right blanket for different vehicle types and environments, such as garages, workshops, warehouses, underground parking areas or service centres. The blankets are a practical addition to existing fire protection equipment and can be integrated easily into your current safety concept.
Vehicle fire blankets are a specialised category of fire safety equipment developed to help control and contain fires involving vehicles, including those with high-energy battery systems. Within this category you will find models tailored for different vehicle sizes, application areas and risk levels, so you can select the most suitable solution for your specific environment.
These blankets are typically used in locations where vehicles are charged, parked, repaired or stored. This includes underground and multi-storey car parks, workshops, car dealerships, industrial facilities, logistics centres, warehouses with forklifts, charging stations, as well as private garages and fleet depots. By placing a vehicle fire blanket over a burning or overheating vehicle, the oxygen supply to the fire can be significantly reduced, helping to limit flame spread and smoke development.
In our assortment you can find blankets designed for:
- Passenger cars in everyday traffic and parking environments
- Forklifts and industrial trucks used in warehouses and production facilities
- Electric motorcycles and scooters, including shared mobility fleets
- E-bikes and bicycles with integrated or removable battery packs
Different sizes and formats allow you to choose blankets that match the footprint and height of the vehicle. Larger blankets are suitable for cars and small vans, while more compact versions can be used for forklifts, scooters or bicycles. When selecting a blanket, it is worth considering where it will be used, how much space is available for storage and how many people will usually be available to deploy it.
Vehicle fire blankets can complement existing fire extinguishers and other fire protection systems. They are not intended to replace legally required fire equipment, but to extend your options in an emergency. In many cases they can help keep a fire localised until professional firefighters arrive, or support extinguishing efforts by reducing heat and flame spread. This can be particularly relevant in confined or sensitive areas where smoke and high temperatures can quickly cause additional damage.
For businesses, the use of vehicle fire blankets can be part of a broader fire safety strategy. They may be integrated into emergency plans, staff training and internal safety procedures. Clear instructions for use, regular visual checks and staff familiarisation can help ensure that the blanket can be deployed quickly and effectively if needed.
The German VLITEX® fire blankets available in this category are offered in several sizes and designs, making it easier to adapt to various vehicle types and site conditions. Their construction and material composition are designed for demanding environments, such as workshops, parking structures or industrial halls, where reliability and durability are key considerations.

When choosing a vehicle fire blanket, always check the product details, technical data and application notes provided for each item. This will help you determine which blanket best fits your vehicles, your premises and your existing safety equipment. If you are responsible for a larger facility or fleet, it can be useful to plan the number and placement of blankets in line with your overall fire safety concept, so that they are easily accessible where they are most likely to be needed.
