There’s no better time for a launch than at a National Bus and Coach Show, and fire protection manufacturer and supplier Klinefire took full advantage.
Launching its brand-new training portal at the Show, Klinefire made use of the in-person interactions and was able to begin signing people up on the spot in Brisbane.

“We’ve been registering the bus operators for our new online training, and the reception has been fantastic,” KlineFire operations manager Joelene Sash told ABC.
“They’ve all been really happy and pleased that they’ll be able to do training in their time so that they can service their own buses, and that’s what it’s all about.”
The innovative website provides end-users with a unique login where they’re able to go in and undergo training modules and tests and receive full accreditation to complete services for the company’s fire suppressant systems.
Historically, a KlineFire technician would travel to the bus operator and provide all necessary training in-person, but the company wanted to provide a more flexible option.
“This portal allows them to train their staff without having to organise anything, giving them that flexibility to be able to just log on when they have the time,” she says.
Alongside the sign-up screen was Klinefire’s fire suppressant system, with the team wanting to highlight its application in hydrogen, electric, hybrid and diesel buses.
“We think it’s really important, especially because of the electric focus at the Show, that operators know how the system works and that it is suitable for all types of buses,” Sash says.
As Klinefire continues to adapt its products to suit the ever-changing bus and coach market, Sash says limiting its environmental impact will always be a top priority.
“Our suppressant systems use a product that is environmentally friendly, non-corrosive and non-toxic,” she says.
“We are always looking to the future and trying to create better products that suit zero-emission targets and are environmentally friendly.”
