Zero Brand in Hong Kong - und die Folgen

[Christian J]

Die Polizei in Hong Kong (HK Police) hatte im Juli 2016 einen Zwischenfall mit einer Zero:

Bericht über den Vorfall (englisch)

Ich habe dann im Dezember mal nachgehakt und gefragt, was denn die Ursache des Brandes war. Folgende Fragen habe ich per E-Mail an "pprb@police.gov.hk" geschickt:

1. What was the root cause of the fire?
1a) Was it a technical problem or was the fire caused by human error?
1b) Was the cause of the fire the motorcycle(s) or the electrical installation (of the building)?

2. Is the Hong Kong Police using Zero Motorcycles at the moment?

Nach ein wenig hin und her habe ich schließlich Antwort erhalten:

Please accept my apologize for the late reply for your enquiry. Please
find the below reply for your enquiries :

1) The fire was caused by the vehicle's battery cell internal short circuit
due to cell decay;

2) It is purely a technical problem and not caused by any human error;

3) The cause of fire was identified from the battery installed in the
motorcycle; and not from the electrical installation of the building;

4) Other Zero motorcycles have been checked correct and are currently used
by the Force

Should you have any further police related enquiries, please contact us.
