🔥 How dangerous can an EV battery become?
At Tekijäpäivät 2026, Finnish firefighter Iiro Wennberg demonstrated what can happen when an EV battery enters thermal runaway.
Extreme heat, fire and explosive gas release make damaged high-voltage batteries a serious safety risk for workshops and rescue situations.
A powerful reminder of why correct handling, training and safety procedures are essential in the EV era. Be safe.

The Focus on Nordic IAM was organized by Automediat.com in cooperation with Messe Frankfurt GmbH at Automechanika Frankfurt. Read the report at www.automediat.com.
Four countries. Four speeds. One EV transition
The Nordics are becoming Europe’s first test of the EV service economy. This was a key message from The Focus on Nordic Aftermarket 2026 at Automechanika Frankfurt.
⚡ EV adoption varies sharply across the region—there is no single Nordic model.
🔧 Workshops must build EV, battery and diagnostic expertise while servicing combustion-engine and hybrid vehicles for years.
🔓 Fair access to vehicle data will be critical for independent competition.
🔗 Electrification and consolidation are reshaping workshop networks and investment.
What the Nordics face now, the rest of Europe will face next. Welcome to join us for The Nordic IAM Summit, Copenhagen, 4 March 2027.
Thank you to Antti Wolk from Wolk & Nikolic After Sales Intelligence GmbH, Harri Heilimä from AAPT, Lars Bergmark from Svenska Fordonsbranschen, Mads Engberg from AUTIG and moderator Tommaso Caravani for a focused discussion.
Special thanks to Mattias Dahlquist, Trine Lacoppidan, Virpi Hopeasaari.
