Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, hybrid models and new energy models are more risk for lines and even fire when they are often used. The lines are made of metals such as copper, which is more likely to melt or even fire when it is often used. "Zhang Hong, Secretary -General of the New Energy Branch of the China Automobile Circulation Association, pointed out.

The self -burning BMW was sentenced to quality defects, and the owner was compensated by more than 400,000 yuan

The referee shows that on September 20, 2020, Wang spent 42,6780 yuan at the end of October 2019, a BMW brand hybrid sedan was burned in a parking lot in Qingdao City, Shandong Province.

According to a simple investigation of fire accident issued by the local fire rescue brigade, the cause of the fire was caused by a fault in the electrical line at the bottom of the seat of the cab.

According to this, the court of first instance ordered BMW Brilliance and dealers to compensate Wang's depreciation of the total loss of 40,2705 yuan, but Brilliance BMW refused to accept the first trial judgment and appealed to the Qingdao Intermediate People's Court.

According to the judgment, on September 24, 2020, BMW Brilliance conducted on -site inspections on the fire vehicle, saying that the possibility of the technical failure or quality problem at the driver's seat could be ruled out. The leaving fire (such as electronic lighters, etc.) leads to the possibility of the fire.

In addition, on November 12, 2021, BMW Brilliance said in the case of the court's inquiry that he had inspected the fire point during the demolition of the fire vehicle. At the same time, all electrical parts and wire beams in the combustion area were checked one by one, and no traces such as short circuit and internal faults were found.

Is it an accident caused by a fire type or a defect in the vehicle itself?

"The" Simple Investigation of Fire Fires "excludes factors such as the remaining fires and the source of foreign fires. BMW Brilliance also admits that no combustion area has been installed and modified during the demolition area, which is enough to determine that Wang advocates the quality defect of the vehicle. The responsibility for proof has been completed. In the case of the opposite evidence that BMW Brilliance does not have enough effective evidence to prove that there is a legal exemption, the self -combustion system of the vehicle has quality defects. "The court of first instance believes.

In the second trial, the Qingdao Intermediate People's Court admitted the "Simple Investigation and identification of the fire accident" issued by the Licang District Fire Rescue Brigade of Qingdao. According to the identification letter, the cause of the car in this case was caused by the failure of the electrical line. Essence Although BMW Brilliance applied for an appraisal, the appraisal opinion was not enough to overthrow the administrative identification made by the administrative department with its powers. It claimed that there was no defect in the vehicle in this case, and the court did not accept it. In summary, the reasons of BMW Brilliance's appeal are not established, and the appeal request the court cannot support it. The judgment of the first instance determines that the facts are clear, the applicable law is correct, and it should be maintained.
