What type of fire extinguisher is used in cars?

[VanCora]

Vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers used in cars are primarily dry powder extinguishers and water-based extinguishers. Dry powder extinguishers act quickly but are polluting and corrosive. Water-based extinguishers can extinguish all types of fires except Class D metal fires, are non-polluting, harmless to humans, and particularly effective against Class B liquid fires, making them suitable for engine and car fires. Currently, the most common portable fire extinguishers for automotive use on the market include dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. Dry powder extinguishers work through chemical inhibition, interrupting the chain reaction of combustion, offering high fire rating, comprehensive functionality, rapid extinguishing, electrical insulation properties, and good low-temperature performance.
