Five Dimensions of Consequence
A depot fire is not just a financial event. The consequences spread across every dimension of the business.
Financial
€17.5M+
Direct asset loss before buildings, infrastructure, neighbouring property
Operational
8-12 mo
Replacement lead time. Routes disrupted, contracts at risk, temporary capacity needed
Environmental
50 batteries
Toxic emissions, contaminated runoff, replacement manufacturing footprint
Safety
5+ hours
Firefighter exposure to heat, smoke, toxic gases. Public risk near residential areas
Reputation
40%
of businesses hit by major disaster never reopen. 25% more fail within one year
Cumulative Financial Impact Over Time

The real consequence is the spread factor
In a depot containing 50 electric buses or trucks, the value of early warning is not simply protecting one €300,000 vehicle. It is potentially protecting €17.5 million of fleet and charging assets, months of operations, the environment, the company's reputation, and most importantly, people.
Methodology: Vehicle cost €300,000 per E-bus (EPTTAS risk model). Charging infrastructure €50,000 per unit. Replacement timeline 8-12 months based on current E-bus manufacturing lead times. Operational loss estimated conservatively. Figures do not include transformers, electrical infrastructure, workshops, depot buildings, or neighbouring property damage.
