The FIRE Panel technology has been applied to vehicles as well. Racecars have been testing these panels for years. More recently, the FIRE Panel has been applied to the fuel tanks of police cruisers. Specific application has been made to solve the current Crown Victoria Police Interceptor's (CVPI) fire potential during high-speed rear end collisions.

Well documented in the news, fires that have occurred after a high-speed rear end impact have cost many officers their lives from an otherwise survivable collision. A FIRE Panel, installed directly on the fuel tank of the CVPI, provides a strong layer of fire protection for the officer(s) and/or occupants of the CVPI.
