In addition, the development of new technologies and systems means that fire protection approaches have to constantly be reviewed. Due to all these changes, better insight into current standards and future trends is needed in order to plan in the long term.

Following the success of this conference series, VIBevents - 5^th annual Fire Protection of Rolling Stock conference will be held on 10^th and 11^th March 2009 in London. The event will establish strategic solutions and highlight new technologies to enhance fire protection of railway vehicles. Through a series of best practice presentations and case studies, this event will provide you with insight into railway operator and rolling stock manufacturer approaches to current and upcoming fire safety issues.

The forthcoming event agenda is already sparking debate within the industry and, judging by the feedback we had this year, who can blame them?
